Thanks for making me aware of these bits, Alan. That front piece looks sturdy enough for the job, and you can’t ask for a more simple installation. Those rear plastic pins, I think, are meant to be destroyed on removal, but a p.i.t.a. if you’re trying to preserve them. Cheers!
Hey Alan, love the bike and thanks for sharing with us. I hear you’re in Australia with al the beautiful wildlife in the background. Are u loving the Rally Explorer? I am pretty even on one myself.
Hey mate. Yes - really loving it probably more every time I ride it which is almost every day. I use it to commute to work on weekdays and still try to get a nice long ride in most weekends.
@@ADV-Rider-Dude oh wow, that is awesome, even using it as a daily commuter. That is a real testament to the ride-ability of the bike. I'm riding the Speed Triple at the moment, but super keen to move to the adventure bike after riding from Bundaberg to Philip Island Last year :)
@@TheWannabeGeek You won't regret it - I love the upright seating position. Very comfortable for long trips. I have also done a bit of offroad on the bike and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be on a big bike. I am keeping up with my mates on lighter bikes like the Tiger 800 and the Yamaha Tenere.
If you're going to work on your bike please buy a proper set of tools and use the right tool for the job. This was painful to watch. You are also over torquing your bolts. Once the wrench clicks STOP. I've seen you move way past the click point several times, especially the front fork. Slow steady pressure, click STOP done.
Thanks a lot mate. What will be helpful to me is if you could please tell me what tool I should have been using for which job. That will also be helpful to other people who watch my videos as well.

@@ADV-Rider-Dude that’s awesome. I’m sold. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming Alan. 😊
Learn how to use a torque wrench. You hit the torque and then kept going at it. On click and that’s it done.
Those plastic things, you just unscrew them.
