Nice pic, nice clean bike!

I've been watching the highlights of the IoM TT on HD Theater here in the States. I've gotta say that that's one amazing race. 37 mile public road course through the town and up the mountain. Can't imagine how McGuinness averaged 131 mph in one lap of that course... Gotta have big cajones or be a little wacko or both to attempt this at those speeds!

wow you've got to get rid of those stock mirrors!!

Where did you get the tail tidy ? And did it come with the fruit pastille reflector

 

[Upturn666]

Mad-dot, The tail tidy is from R&G. A little fiddley to fit but worth the effort.
w00tw00t, I know what you mean about the mirrors but i have got usued to how good they are. Its actually quite nice to get such a clear view of what is going on behind you.
Hedgtrimmer, The Manx is alot quieter than the TT, I go with my 14 year old lad on the back and i dont fancy the manick atmosfere of the TT with him on the back. I did do the TT as well but just with fellow bikers.
Next mod willbe the cans. Not sure whether its worth the extra for the full system over just the cans, what are the advantages etc, Any advise welcome.
The fruit pastille reflector actually came from the US but i dont know where as a friend picked it up for me when visiting.

I know what you mean but try CRG Hindsights - I had the stockers on for a while before switching to the hindsights - the hindsights are much better in terms of function and looks than the stock mirrors!

I thought this was supposed to be a picture thread?

The MOT station near me does those reflectors if you want one. Think they are about 10 bob

Would it be possible for you to post up anymore pictures of your bike? Especially the front end, as I'm really starting to sway towards buying a Streetfighter and not an 1198

The dealers usually give those away free here

 

[mad-dot]

Bet they're bigger too

 

[flynbulldog]

an I'm sure they reflect brighter as well...

 

[Upturn666]

Warp racer, i will be happy to. Give me a day or so and i will get some sorted.

You win
Here's a pic of my front end

thanks Mad-Dog, but I'm interested in seeing the Upturn666's bike as he has done mods to it eg: reservoirs etc :thumbup

 

[blackie]

Heres mine modded..

 

[Upturn666]

Warp Racer, Here are a couple of very bad pictures but it gives you an idea of what i have done. It is all Rizoma stuff and is very good quality. Before the Streetfighter i had an S4RS and loved the riding position so when i had the SF i wanted to replicate the same position as i found the standard bars on the SF a little too low. The Rizoma's are great but they do make the front end a little livelier.
