Hello everybody! :cool:

I bought my DN-01 last year. It was in great condition (2009y) with only 12.000km.


Original.webp


TYRES
Went with Michelin Road 6 (GT) for best grip and durability.
The front tyres are hard to find in 120/70 R17 range,
so I replaced the front rubber with different size.
I bought 130/70 R17 instead. It drives smooth!

SEAT
I noticed I got easily fatigued when riding it for 2h straight.
I got pain in my behind... due to body position on this bike
and the shape of the seat.

I ordered the backrest from USA and had the whole seat
refurbished with special rubber-insert installed for the butt to have
more cushion. It worked! They also stitched it nicely. Not a cheap upgrade!

WINDSHIELD
I love how the original windshield looks! But I don't like the wind
pressure in my chest and helmet when riding above 120km/h.
So I needed a higher windshield to get some wind protection.

I do not like the replacement options from GIVI, so I got me
a replacement windshield from aliexpress for GS1200 which
looks much better IMHO. But I had to design my own 3D stands
to mount my new windshield on the existing one. It does the job!
I plan to replace it with smoked version and might even change
the 3D stands to move it more upfront and a bit more upwards.

STICKERS
Most of them are from Aliexpress. Some are custom made locally.

HAND GUARDS & GRIPS
Aliexpress

In overall I love this bike!

Best regards from Slovenia!

I punched through a 7mm hole inside the exhaust pipe and now it has a bit more serious sound :cool:
