Hi Craig and welcome to the forum mate, oh by the way, i'm the short one

Welcome to the forum Craig

Hiya,

You decided to give it a whirl!

Thanks for the posts guys, you should be on commission Crownan lol,

This is my forth bike, Had a suzuki sv650, triumph 675, Firblade 929 and then to the Yamaha I bought her from new and has been trouble feel apart from me recently struggling with feeling from the front end,

Spec is Twin Akra's, Arrow link pipe, PC5,K&N, Asv levers, Stomp Grip pads,HID Lights eeerrrmmmm think thats about it.

This was taken just after its first wash,,




Did a track day at ron haslams to see if I liked it , Yep I did currently thinking of buying a bike trailer etc,,,

Very nice mate, in the best colour too

Ive really been thinking of the red & white colour can't stop thinking about it, but can't afford a new one, has anyone here changed the colour of the wheels etc ? Im currently thinking of powder coating the Rear and front pegs satin black..

Nice bike craig, and yes this fecking weather

I powder coated the rear pegs on my last bike satin black (ZX10R) and was fine even after a few trips with the Missus on the back. I also coated the front heel guards but with a bit of bad, dirty wet roads they soon wore through the powder coat. Be fine on mostly dry riding I would've thought.

I've been thinking about having my rearsets powder coated black too, been thinking about it for 18 months

Would look sh!t when it wears through and its when not if

If price is the main factor i'd go for sum cheep slanty anodised sets for around £100 notes will still wear eventually though

Welcome in Craig

I think PJC is insinuating that im the tight one,well,put it this way,If Mikes stands between us,you wont be seeing me

Hi Craig, I'm the one that is "fat" although I prefer to say undertall, whereas Bub is verifcally challenged and Jon squeaks when he walks he is that tight !

Enjoy the forum mate

Hi mate welcome nice bikes

Thanks for all the welcome messages, Looking forward to getting some posts in....
