[MrKiwi]

What other farkles are you considering installing on the bike?

I like the look of those panniers btw.

Is there place for pillion feets with these panniers  ?
Done some more off-roads these last time , and happy to ear rocks knocks on an hard bash plate !!!

Yep! Had two different height pillion riders on and no issues reported.  I also wondered when I fitted them how much legroom there might be, but they seem fine.

Hi James,

Great bike, isn't it?  . Looking forward to get my hands on mine too.

Have fun.

Looks great! Good additions for accessories. Enjoy your new ride! I absolutely love mine. My favourite bike yet.

[Two Plugs]

Enjoy it, but I am sure you will, James! 

[james.mc]

Thanks guys!

Going to add some more images of the Camel ADV Fuel tank to another thread.

But no ABS  

What?

[zebulon]

Strange bulb turns lights... Is it an ABS model?

[james.mc]

Yes it is ABS.  Even 2017 AT's in North America have incandescent turn signals for some stupid North American reason.  Not sure if it was Honda or North American Traffic laws that caused it to happen.  I will change them out for smaller LED light units at some point, along with the relay as long as Honda haven't done anything whacky concerning the wiring for the running lights which the indicators double up as.
