The early bird catches the worm

Perviously: the last warm weekend over here in Austria. Time to start early to get the most out if it!

I got the AliExpress bellypan, so you don't have to.

First off, it cost about $160 and arrived maybe a month or so after ordering. It came with no instructions or hardware for mounting the brackets to the bike, and the hardware for mounting the brackets to the fairing was pretty underwhelming. I ended up ordering accessory center stand bolts for the rear exhaust side, which is threaded on the frame, and sourcing the rest for the unthreaded holes in my garage.

Overall I think the paint match was pretty good, especially for the price. It was kind of a pain to mount and will need to come off for an oil change if I don't want to make a huge mess.

Some may disagree with hiding those akrapovic headers, but for me, it ties the whole bike together. No noticeable affect on aero or performance in my brief but peppy test ride. I feel like I don't need to do anything else to this machine. I'm very happy with it.

Bad idea buying a Z900rs at the end of summer!

Even though it was the right bike for me at the right time for the right price, I regret it! Why? Because I only got about 1000kms on it and the season is winding down. So, I’ll have to satisfy the urge to ride it by reading Reddit, Instagram and YouTube videos until next spring. 🤷🏻‍♂️

RS Cafe upgrades

Hi All, I just traded the BMW 1250 GSA for the z900RS Cafe and the riding position is perhaps too much too soon so I intend to fit the 20mm risers with 31mm offset, Voigt is the manufacturer I believe. Anyone else had success without impacting Throttle cable / Clutch / Brake lines?
I think I will switch out the brake lines at some point soon for braided hoses, just wondering if I need to factor that in immediately.
Thanks in advance for the benefit of your experiences
