Fantastic write-up Carl, have printed it out and am about to head off into my 'Honda House of Love.' (Garage)

Wish us luck....

Reminds me of a Chinese guy who came in the wood merchants I used to work at. He walks in, I'm behind the serving counter. Young and enthusiastic in my first 'proper' job. Me- "Good morning Sir, may I help you?" Him-"Want wood...long!" Me-"Certainly Sir, if you'd like to let...

Fantastic, thank you. ) Will keep posting.....

Fantastic, but as a Noob I can't pm him to buy a set!

Thanks for the replies, and yes it is a shame the fairing needed trimming, but as I mentioned, it's not an obvious thing, and doesn't spoil the look of the bike. The other thing I forgot to mention is because I've set the bars further out and back, I now don't have the good rear view from the mirror...

Now if I could just get time to trial fit them to see if I need (probley will) to get longer throttle cables and clutch hose. Hap...

Is that what they're called? Helibars??

Apparently the issue with them is it takes a long time to figure out which position you prefer to have them in!

I suppose you could have different positions for general riding, and touring...?

Today I ordered a set of Apex risers for me new beastie. Feel like a kid waiting for the ice cream truck....

Hi there & welcome :wave: If money is not an issue then try the following, they are infinitely adjustable: http://www.apexmfg.com/products Hey darkember, have just ordered a set of the 3" risers, which works out at £165. Not cheap I agree, but I do like the bike so....AAAAARGGHHMMMMMMMMmmm...

Would it be a "VTR'ER'1000??"

Hi Matt, good to see another Taff on here! Shame discs are keeping your beastie off the road though. Wonder if you can change the front wheel/fork off a (different make/model) bike with complete discs??? It might be cheaper if you can find one breaking. Never know what will fit....? Just an idea...m...
