i think a 2003 R1 rear end would look better, less lardy etc.that the one with the thin strip light. a Bird that handles takes some catching!
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

I think this old blade rear looks crappy, but 929 could be an option.

Now there's a challenge. Out of all the big fast tourers, the ZX12R was the prettiest to me.

I'd love to see what you can do with the Bird, I have every confidence in you...

(CK will go out to his bike and find the RSV looking a lot like a Blackbird) :lol:

Still a bloody woman because you fitted them at all. Just get some decent bloody gloves, I've recently got a pair of Halverssons winter gloves (to go with my new jacket) and they're perfect for anything. I was wearing summer gloves until last weekend for christs sake :lol:
