well the bike looked like this when it came home

with a few "choice" modifications, it currently looks like this

shot of the Ermax Hugger and shiny Scorpion (and some opinion splitting rim tape)

This thing is loud!

Heated grips & KTM handguards upfront

The pipe has made a big difference to the character of the engine, it chops about a foot off the pipe and gets rid of the Cat. Have only tried it with baffle out (which I should maybe replace before I find myself £30 lighter!)

Nice bike, I think the green sets it off just right.

A guy at work did have a FJR1300 but now rides one of these. Not had a change to speak to him as we are on different shifts.

Looks good Rob

When you bringing it down to Squires so we can hear it ?

Brought it once Graham, last week! Intending do get out with this lot once another eve/afternoon is arranged. Keeping my eye out as the weather is supposed to be quite good this week.

Looking good Rob, how does the firing order sound compared to the V-twin?

punyXpress · 31-03-09, 07:51 PM

Or leave his spurs off ?

yeah, thats one thing Im disappointed with. Its done just over 5k now but I have seen some heavy wear on those guards. I didnt think fake Carbon would look that good as it has the dimpled effect on the edge but I might have to resort to something like that to protect them.
