Another thing to make your bike look like a dirt bike is to add some these below:

Thanks one and all and never give up Mike :lol:

Have decided to go with Ians suggestion as I had one of their screens before.

A Z Technic V Touring/Sport tinted Screen which I have now on order.

Mike, I reckon you should put together a learners dirt ride, let Swampy use one of the TW 's , not the happy Bike though, it will be too tall.

Just keep sending them up and down your driveway, everyone could bring their DR's along, Chris could show them how to pick one up.

A minor variation to Alex's suggestions.

What about fitting a lap top as a screen...it would give you a heads up display of baby blues vital signs and allow you to log in to the forum on the run.

Alex could farkle it so that you would be able to operate it from the surplus to requirements controls (hazard warning light, switchable ABS, adjustable suspension)

It is also already hinged so it would be adjustable.

Bry and his mates would not be able to ping you as it would not be in contact with your person.

That screen on your bike looks good Mike but I can't afford $1300.00 so will stay with the Technic mate 8)

Seeing that someones new & old bike have made it to 2 pages in comments, I thought I might I might suggest a pillion accessory from the off line catalogue of renowned motorcycle shop of Mazibuko Bros. in Nairobi, Kenya.

Great to see you on the "Old Girl" this morning Tom and to meet Gill.

So glad the bike went to someone like yourself who knows how to take care of their gear, As evident from the photo's of your old RT.

I'm sure you will get many ks of joy beating around the scrub on her and giving her baptism of dirt.

Also thank you so much for your kind generosity this morning and hopefully we can catch up again soon as I'm really interested in your Remus.

Cheers
