Pillion foot peg brackets = crash bars?

If you take a look at the Gran Milano you will notice the exhausts hang out there. So much so I’m pretty sure they’re going to get bent if I drop the bike.

There are no b=crash bars out there for this bike (yet) but in the box of goodies that came the bike were the pillion foot peg brackets. I wouldn’t use these “as is” fas protection for the exhaust, I’d want to do something nice that bolted up to the bike in their place.

To do this I started with a 3D scan of the part and modeled the part in its existing form. From here I’ll kick around a few ideas and let the budget decide which direction I go in. Watch this space.

Wiring in new controls - checking factory wiring

In preparation for the new controls I needed to confirm the bikes wiring matched that shown in the manual.

I did have to order another set of the switches that mount to the clutch lever perch, so that puts this stage of the project back a couple of weeks. This switch block I’m waiting on will be used for the starter button and kill switch.
