@BlackBandit

Thats's the bridge over the River Humber. At one time it was the longest single span suspension bridge in the world.

It's located in the North Eastern part of the UK about 200miles north of London. As you can guess, it's quite an attractive location for visitors and tourists. I often take a ride up there and just sit on the shore.

When I remember my Flickr login i'll post some more pics.

Here's a bigger version of the photo.




Here are some better shots that are bit closer.












The GPS mount that you can see is for a TomTom Rider V3. It's not yet wired to the 12V but i'll be sorting that soon enough.

The cable that is hanging down from the under nose of the seat is the hardwire cable for my Gerbing heated gloves. In this winter weather they are proving to be a very worthy addition.

I will be posting some more pics when I can get out in better weather as I have now fitted an MRA X-Creen adjustable windshield spoiler. To be fitted shortly are a Yoshimura Exhaust, Custom foot plates, and some bits and pieces from Powerbypcx.com

Love the cargo box. Got one similar to that one but from SHAD.

This is the Givi E370 with the smoked reflectors to match the look of the PCX. I also fitted a stop light kit to this box so the central panel above the lock lights up with the brakes.

Since these photo's i've also added: Adjustable Brake levers / CNC Brake adjusters at rear / Brake Caliper guard / KOSO Oil Plug or Dipstick.
I also have a Givi T496 Scooter Bag which is a great addition and is useful for carrying sunglasses, juice, wipes for visor and various other bits and pieces.

I'm pretty much done with mods now.

Don't want any suspension setup?

Don't want any suspension setup?

May do in the future but for now I have spent enough. Gotta watch those pennies now.
However, if my Vespa sells in the new year (which i'm hoping it will) I will certainly look at an after market exhaust.

[Black Bandit]

Good luck with the Vespa sale mate. I'm looking for an exhaust too but something that is similar to stock but raised higher rather than close to the ground. More clearance for some of that deep water riding if you know what I mean.

[WhiteNoise]

^ Yup, I Saw what "you" mean You definitely could use a higher exhaust (it can get "swampy" out there)

[Black Bandit]

Or possibly reposition the bolt holders on the exhaust by re-welding them so that the pipe points further upwards. Gonna need a guard at the back for the hole coz if water gets into the pipe, the engine can get damaged. Or so I've been told by the local mechs here.
