Its a BTRubber made in India, this will be a second rear tire of this brand, the first was a 60/40 and this is like 90/10. Did not have any problem with the first tire so reason why I bought this. The reason why I change model is due to tire road noice, so I will see how it works.

Thanks for the information. I don't think they export those to the US, so hadn't seen one before. Looks like a decent tire.

Big day today.

Knocked out the first oil and drive fluid change. Installed the nav bar stabilizers from Ladlesport, installed a set of heli barbacks, slapped on a larger than stock givi windscreen, put air in my tires the shop must not have checked as they where 22f 30r, and installed a rigid 6" light bar.

Made a 90 mile test drive,,,, I need to rotate my bars back a wee bit, and the rigid was well worth the money, I got the drive beam pattern and its amazing. Crash bars are on the way and I think I will put a set of fogs on those for always on low beam use run off the stock fogs plug.

End of next week I am off for 12 days and will install crash bars and filler plate from Tortured.

Changing my spark plugs was not a hard task at all, I had no trouble with the breather hose.

Maybe it’s because I have owned and worked on Ford vehicles. Engineering to be ashamed of.
Have you seen the underhood of the new Bronco yet? OMG.

I was just giving my screen a wipe over when I noticed it was flexing a bit more than usual. When I looked closely one of the 4 cross head screws that hold the adjustable frame onto the main screen frame was missing. Number 18 I think, although the parts list says there are only two, I seem to have three plus a missing one. I went through my spare nuts and bolts and put a hex head in there. The remaining three were quite loose so I assume the vibrations have loosened them and one has fallen out.

The new bronco is neat looking. Haven’t looked under the hood. My last 4 vehicles have been Toyota’s. Night and day experience.

Wired a gsxr turn signal switch to gain flash to pass and hazards to my gen 1.
A wire in place of the old, the buttons and splices in the loom of the gsxr control do all the control for making it work with normal flash unit. Im using a 07 gsxr swtich

For how i did it.
cut off the stock switch a with just a small tail on the control, wanted to retain as much of the stock loom as possible so i could keep the stock clutch switch and horn wires.
important , Cut the gsxr control close to the plug, the loom wires are where some of the spices that make every thing work live.
only gotchas past match the wires up between the two are.
for the headlights is the gsxr switch has 3 wires for the headlight where the s10 only uses 2. the extra white wire from the gsxr switch is not used. for the headlights it matches up, yellow to orange, red w/line to yellow
on the black and white horn wire from the gsxr switch its bridged to the clutch switch since you are not using the gsxr clutch switch wires you can just snip and tape that off when you match it to the black and white wire on the s10

Went for a ride with a mate of mine to the most Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western part of the Sutherland Shire LGA on the Monday public holiday. Was so good to just get out for a few hours but still can't wait till we come out of lockdown.
Weather was awesome. Enjoy some pics!

Today switched out the pants leg catcher of a drive shaft guard next to the left foot peg with an altrider piece, went for a test drive with that and hit 1000 miles,, break in over.

Celebrated with an install of altrider crash bars, topped off with a wash as the bugs where getting thick on the windshield.
