Ha ha. I left the eye watering bit out! Especially if its not a "keeper."

There are other brands that have the additional piece of fairing for the fireblade not sure about that year of suzook.

Anyway happy shopping!

We want more pics please Ron lol

Its a tidy bike, many miles she got? IMO the K7 - K8 GSXR's are best looking

Get some braided lines on though. Its the only thing that was lacking on mine. I felt the stock set up was poor. HEL lines and some Brembo SC pads did improve the braking quite a bit

Talking Re: I didn't join the trumpet club.

8.4k miles. A few stone chips on the front, but got the front fairing sticker replaced, previous owner must have ridden lots behind cars, trucks and a couple of gritter waggons !!! But seriously don't think it has ever seen the wet. All bolts and banjo's still shiny. If sun is out this weekend will get some pictures taken & posted.

Really wanted the K8 with the big white saltire shape on the fairing, but this was local & in too good a condition too miss, plus was struggling to find a K8 the right side of £5K and good trade in for mine (23k miles on the SV !!!!).

Got a big list of bits - levers, heated grips for comfort first, then protection - fenda and radiator guard then be upgrades - zorst & hoses etc.

Gonna put some SV bits up - R&G crash bungs, scorpian can, cowl & infills, so should raise some pennies to get the essentials. Anybody on Ecosse want first shout ? Coming up to Glasgow next week so can bring up and meet.

Talking Re: I didn't join the trumpet club.

Fitted Bibio's little relay thingy to the Gixxer, works a treat again. Couldn't find the same plug for the rear lights so i used the no. plate supply instead. Wasnae thru choice! I was looking for the light plug but the no. plate light stopped working ???

Investigations discovered one of them horrible little screw block thingys - YUUUUK.

So seeing as soldering iron was out, just used that supply. Sorted.

Charging lead for phone / satnav is wired in, ready for my little jaunts (GM / AR), just waiting on heated grips to arrive and we'll be toasty as well as not getting lost.

Stuggling to find space to fit Stebel Nautilas horn, not much bloody space under gixxer fairings. Don't they fit air horns on race bikes or what ?????
