    Photographs

    As a newbie I thought I would follow tradition and put a few pics of the bike on.

    Cant seem to work out how to link my album to this but the pics are public in Pictures, Transalps, Pyro 's Bike

    If anyone can tell me how to link I will do so

    No joy from FAQ's....Im sure its there but Im not !!

    Excellent, another Silver one. The BEST colour!

    I think you need some farkles for your bike, starting with some fairing protection - don't want to scare you by calling them crash bars.

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    Thanks for sorting out a pic Digitalcaptive

    I actually just posted a thread re Farkles (Cr**h) bars so thats in progress

    Otherwise its a 2002 model 7800 miles (4000 mine) and its been well loved, every time I think of changing I ride it and cant bear to part with it !!

    Thus far it has:
    Touring Screen
    12V socket (accumate wired in)
    Scottoiler to front sprocket
    Honda Top Box
    Oxford heated grips
    Gel Insert in saddle and a lovely non slip recovering of said saddle (what a difference)

    Next piccies may well be those bars once chosen, I have to say Graves are looking favourite

    Clearly some taste and discernment being shown here. The Graves bars are a fine piece of engineering. I have them on my own bike.

    Can I ask who did the saddle for you?

    Yes saddle done by a Gloucestershire company based in Stroud.

    They recovered it and fitted a gel insert for the princely sum of £110.

    They have a busy little set up re covering for quite a few companies selling to bike restorers and as they only do Motorcycle saddles they are interested and best of all did a flawless job !!

    Happy to send you details if required....they do offer postal service

    Cheers

    Very nice bike Pyro. As Lutin says silver is the best colour!

    The graves bars certainley look the best option. I emailed Tomas yesterday but no reply as yet, having read some of the crash bar threads I realise I may have to wait quite a bit!

    As I'm an unorganised/lazy git I've not taken any photos of my bike yet, so here is one the guy I bought it from took for me!
