I know these introduction threads make you look like a spoon, but I'm going for it anyway. :) I'm Simon, from the Basingstoke area. I have a candy blue K1 curvy 650S. Have had it for about 3 years. Should've joined this forum ages ago, but I've got all the answers I've wanted from just reading, and also from good old Mr Haynes. I think one of my mates is on this forum too. No idea what his username is though, so my first mission is to track him down and humiliate him.

Plans for my SV are to try it with a lower fairing, then maybe upgrade the can and perhaps a rear hugger. Are there any other mods people would recommend?

I'm also looking to make some more mates near and far for some ride outs.

Ok, spoon message done. Cheers! :)

Welcome spoon.

Dont worry we've all been there, and by your humor I recon you'll fit right in.

Thanks for the welcome buddy. I like your sig btw. Crashing my bike in front of a hot looking lady crossed my mind. It'd have to be about 10mph into a mattress factory though. That's about as far as I'd be willing to go.

Thanks for the welcome!

@minimorecambe - I spend a lot of time in suton. My other riding mates are in Eastleigh. Nice to meet a yokel. ;)

Have to agree mate. I've heard I'll get a lot more out of the bike with new forks. Time to browse some suspension threads.

Just change the front springs & slightly heavier oil, depending on your weight improves things no end.

Don't forget the Fenda Extenda if it hasn't got one, a vital mod do this before anything else
