Here's an update on my TDM and GS11:
My TDM (first posted here) needed a change, so the top fairing was removed and a modified R1 screen put in it's place.
I added some panniers and a bit of netting to the tank. A bit of extra flat black was sprayed around for good measure.

THIS IS NOT!!!! THE ORIGINAL RATBIKE.ORG, BUT AN ARCHIVE FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT.
The GS1100GK was bought and wasn't originally going to be turned into a Rat. But on my first long trip, the fairing snapped on rough roads about 800km from
home. I threw the HUGE screen in the bin and used gaffa tape to keep the bike together until I got home.
Once that had happened, it's future was assured!
First step was to remove the fairing and modify a Honda headlight bucket to suit.
A couple of spare indicators were chucked on and wired up and it was ready to ride again.
The next step was a quick wash and sand and wash again before applying liberal amounts of flat black.
Then a crappy brush with some red paint to paint CHAOS down the side. Next some zip ties and epoxy to mount ''Horace'' the skull to the old fairing mount,
a couple of mis-matched mirrors and RAT BIKES RULE! carved in the tank and it's ready to roll!
