Looks good Duke!

Pretty much how mine is configured atm too. The shorty dark smoke screen I put on completely got rid of the buffeting I had with the touring screen.

Can't really say I noticed much difference on mine this afternoon in terms of wind resistance. At warp factor nine the front does go very light though. :D

It's a lovely piece of carbon but then it ought to be.

I like that a lot Duke - you're pretty close to my ideal bike there! 8) Definitely more focused and a big improvement over standard. (y)

Ages ago I saw and copied a couple of pics of a well done Mutley and your bike reminds me of that - your bikes seat/rack area looks less fussy though, iirc the gold wheels promoted a love/hate response from a lot of people from wherever I found it, fwiw I liked them, any thoughts?

I really don't get the whole gold wheels thing, but then I don't like gold anything really. Even my wedding band, it was titanium.

Not really sure the gold wheels suit the Multi. Prefer mine black.

Actually wrote that then deleted it. Thought my professing adversion to gold made me biased. Glad you agree!!
