As long as just deliver to folk that live on twisty country roads I would not mind lol.
Oh .... and must be good weather or they are going hungry lol
Naaah... sod it... I would just eat em... won’t work

Simply superb job !
Winning on a lesser bike has to be the cherry on the cake

Fitted a givi topbox yayyyyyy
Pain in the ass to fit, but looks rather good.
Sunday I will see if I notice it, while riding.

Are there any tracks or trackdays that would allow me to carry a pillion ?

I cant believe it.... it arrived lol
That was fast, considering it came from Germany !
Instructions were a bit naf and a bit of a pain to fit.... but alas.... all done !
My bike is now fitted with a top box

UPDATE !
OK Ive ordered this one !
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Top-Box-Set- ... 2749.l2649
It should do the job ok.
It has gone up in price after I paid. I paid £238 and is now £244

I know there are more budget ones available. Going to be doing a couple of track days on it though so wanted something better but not the mental expensive of Ohlins, etc. Hopefully get it fitted soon. Well on the plus side..... it would be hard to find a shock that is worse than the original. :lol:...

Kind of thought it looked a bit too good to be a budget item

That would have taken me well over what the bike should be worth when it's finished.

Just out of curiosity ... how much was the shock and where from ?
If you don’t mind of course

Update.... although I’ve posted my findings on another thread :D Well I did my experiment today. I must say I was a bit surprised. As in better than I expected. Opened it up in 5th gear ! Managed to hit 10,000 rpm about 5mm into the redline, without too much of a problem. Speedo was reading 155 :lol...

Hi as you've probably guessed vertically challenged of the female variety lol, can anybody tell me where to get a lowering kit, have tried ebay etc but nothing, I already have the seat and the boots lol! Also does it affect the handling? Good info there from wicky , but I will just say that they ar...

Yeh, £260 on the steep side. If just getting the box keep a look out for a set of arms and plate, then you can fit most alternatives to it. No, that was the whole thing. Rack plate and box. There is a bit cheaper on there but I kinda chose a bigger box. Price seems about average from what I’ve seen...

Here's what's possible with a bit of work https://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=18681&start=17175#p449570 I think Givi is the way to go but it requires a few modifications. You can easily put a Renntec rack on but that is a bit light weigh and not really strong enough to hold a top box...

Well back on topic :D Last Sunday I had a quick look see, at what my top end speed was. Turned out to be 150 on the clock. Held on for longer and with a tail wind it might have hit 155 but was certainly out of puff by 150. Tried an experiment today. Kinda part two :lol: Last weak, as I thought the b...

Had a relaxed slow ride to work today mixed with short country road knee down, still tottally chilled . Back to normal socially consious pace when got into built up zone, nice 1st to 2nd wheelie off the lights, arrive at work witha huge grin but still " feeling pretty norm" if I'd been on...
