Re: New Crash Bars Fitted

Got to be a better screen I think........Not sure I like the name Tony.....that means that every time I take it for a ride I'm sat astride a male I think something more along the lines of.....Veluptuous love princess.....would be more appropriate , but it might be a bit long winded

Re: New Crash Bars Fitted

Quick Russ put it back in the garage its SNOWING





They look good mate

They stick out low down on the full frontal shot, but guess they have to to protect that big tank, they will protect your legs well too

Love that colour

How about Titianna ???????????


Well we all think about them

Re: New Crash Bars Fitted

Looking good!

For the name: I called mine Bertha, since she's big & heavy! Although it's not really a British name...

Then again, my Suzuki is called Suzie...

On next projects: definitely the screen... If you want to try the MRA, drop by around my way for a spin on the Tiger with the MRA fitted. Depending on your height, it does or does not help... Heard someone over 6"2 complaining it didn't help much. I'm 5"10 and it works fine!



For me, next up is the sport exhaust and engine mapping, but first I need to sort out my front brake, it's going soggy again...

Thanks for the offer, certainly would be interesting to try before I buy

I'm 6" 1' so could be borderline

Deffinately worth doing, it gives it a lovely rasp but not too noisy
Just bled my fronts today and they feel 10 times better
