new pointy owner here!

Hello!

After much deliberation and research I am finally trading in my CB500 towards a low mileage K7... in the odd light greyish blue that I can find no parts for (but is rather close to the colour of my car).

Planning on getting a fenda extenda, Scottoiler and some lower fairings but I think I'll end up paying full dealer price for the fairings due to the seemingly obscure choice of colour.

Picking it up on Wednesday, can't wait!

Welcome and you sir have the best and fastest pointy available...

Oh BTW - Put yourself on the SW&S Map... link below.

Colour code (going by your description) is YDV... The lowers come up on fleabay every so often and the other parts are readily available there as well.

hi mate, im in abertridwr, mogs is in caerphilly too.

Croeso!

Howdy do!

Hi hovis I've probably seen you on the road at some point (and not known it), I'm on Mill Road which then becomes the B4263 and runs up into Abertridwr.

Can't make a rideout this weekend, working which is already interfering with going to a concert on Saturday.

Was tempting by a few of the Fazers they had (Thunder Road) as well as a nice gixxer 750 but figured the insurance would kill me if the bike didn't first. That SWMBO will be pillion sometimes and wants a comfortable seat didn't even enter into it, honestly.

I doubt they're gonna tax it for me which means the usual week of torment waiting for the new insurance covernote to come through which will mean I'll have plenty of time to get the oiler working.

Cheers!

i just ran past your house then........ did you see me?

if the deal is done, its probably a bit late to try to get them to tax it, but its worth a try, i would try for a fenda extenda aswell, and maybe crash bungs.

i cant say i have noticed a cb500 around?

we used to meet in the tredeger arms newport once a month, which im trying to start back up, but in the green lady. as they have a bike night twice a month.

theres a few rideouts comming up, just have a look in the surfer section

Stuck in work atm, couldn't quite hear you all the way down in Cardiff!

I asked about the tax before the deal was done, they told me they didn't want my CB taxed so I can get it refunded (had only done it the day before!) which will go some way to covering a new one, not that bothered as won't really have time to do much riding for a while yet anyway.

I might leave crash bungs until later, the fairing is already likely gonna cost me more than I want to spend.

I've noticed a fair few bikes around Caerphilly but haven't noticed any specific ones as 'regulars' yet either.

welcome to the forums, nice bike choice
