Re: SV Lockdown Freshen Up

Re: New project... 86 GSXR 1100

So, since finishing the exhaust I’ve done very little else! It’s been a hectic last few months and a pricey one too!

Re: New project... 86 GSXR 1100

I only bought the welder a few months back and ordered a few disposables with it at the time because I hadn’t sorted a larger bottle yet. Will be getting sorted soon enough!

Re: What's the current hotness in aftermarket clocks for a curvy?

I love my koso, was an easy install and I've never had a problem. The GPS add-on is a must when upgrading the front end, makes everything hassle free :)
