New ride

Post by flak monkey »

Picked my new bike up this afternoon and went for a short ride. Got back and thought I would take some pics.

Its got a few extras, fairing lowers, Pazzo levers, Micron cans, seat cowl (not fitted in pics) and a few other minor bits.

Decided when I saw it in the bike shop the Iridium screen had to go so I swapped it over for a black one

Also swapped the headlight buld for a Philips Xtreme Power one. Use them in all my vehicles, about 50% brighter than standard, but the same wattage and only £10 a pair. Also discovered previous owner had fitted a yellow sidelight bulb :roll: so thats come out.

Will be giving it a service in the next week or so and fitting some braided brake hoses up front as I'll be changing the fluid anyway :)

I plan on giving it a full service next weekend. Its just covered 20k miles, so not too high and has full service history to 2008 and 15k miles.

The reg/rec has been changed to a heatsink one too. So thats something else to not worry about.

I'll keep an eye on the CCTs too. The rear one looks easy, I havent delved in to find the front one yet though.

Nice looking bike mate, if you want rid of the grab rail/luggage rack give me a shout i'll swap for my straight grab rail lol, anyway enjoy it and the black screen looks better for sure.

Nice one FM, it certainly does look a tidy bike, with some descent mods already done to her :thumbup:
