Post TT Farkling

With the Connie performing flawlessly (as usual) on the TT I decided she needed a bit of a reward in the form of some little shiny farkles.  The farkle of choice this time was some heavier bar-end weights from Projekt D.

Standard weight on left, new on the right

The idea behind these is that heavier weights can help to reduce engine vibration through the bars.  Now, the Connie is very smooth once you're rolling but after a long period of time riding at the legal limit I do notice some tingling in my hands.

Unlike some farkles fitting the bar-ends couldn't be easier.  One bolt to remove, a dab of thread lock on the new bolt and then screw the new end on - piece of cake!

Shiny

I would have preferred it if the ends were black like the originals (the Connie doesn't need any chrome - chrome does not get you home) but they still look ok on the bike.  Hopefully tomorrow I can give them a wee test to see if they have made a difference.

After that little job was done something truly miraculous happened...
