Hello from me!
I've posted a couple of times but wanted to introduce myself properly now that I've taken a picture of the bike.
She's a 2001 faired curvy with fairing replaced due to damage by a previous owner (fairing brackets still in place!) The headlight unit is one that I had lying around. When I got her, she had MX-bars but these have been replaced with bars from a 2000 bandit to help filtering. The headlight combined with the bar-end mirrors give it a bovine appearance so she has been christened "The Yak". The classy topbox is bolted straight through the pillion seat. I don't like boxes that hang way out the back of bikes and this was cheaper than buying a rear rack unit (picked up a cheap spare pillion seat on fleabay, along with a petrol tank for 99p!). I'll put a backrest cushion on it eventually to complete the look. I bought her as a commuter scooter as I like to pamper my Ducatis but she is pretty nippy and handles pretty well. I'm based in East London and can normally be seen filtering through the Limehouse Link around 6:40am and Commercial Road around 6:43am so wave if you spot me! Bar's open - what are you having? cheers, Chi

Brilliant, it looks exactly like this:
 If that was my bike, I'd fit one of those novelty horns from M&P that plays animal noises. And I'd use it till it melted. Welcome aboard.
