    That looks cool, that bike is coming along nicely..

    Those panniers suit that bike also, and the crash bars.

    you got GPS Yet, ?

    Aye, a Zumo 400. Didn't need all the bells & whistles, just a big arrow to show me where to go, works fine although I have heard some doubts about the waterproofing of the unit itself and the cradle but only time will tell. I might rig up some sort of plaggy gubbins to protect it ......... but there again I'll probably presume it will be ok until it goes phut......... classic Doggy behaviour

    Thats what was on my list of next things to buy, well maybe after the panniers.

    I can honestly say that the Motech crash bars saved me a load of money this week when my bike laid itself gently down on to a carpark floor, only damage was a scuffed hand guard and the the gear shift dug a bit out of the plastic sump gaurd out (Why plastic Honda, Why????)

    Obviously my @rse is still recovering from having to lift the bike back up on my own.

    Bikes looking good Doggy..not jealous at all $#!!@..!£#$

    I do not have gps yet, I do mainly back roads and stuff. And I now most of the main roads around this area (I used to be a delivery driver).

    I was looking at satmap but can not decide.. I will stick to the map for a while, until christmas..

    Gotta be more functional than the plastic items both ours came with!

    Got me thinking of doing some more mods to mine now. Done a "fat foot", got MRA Vario screen. Thinking of Graves crashbars & spotlights (Having seen BTbloke's setup), plus bashplate. Got a few home grown ideas to try out too! Haven't got any black tape yet though!
