I should probably get shot of mine before the new ones released. Who's gonna want 24.5 bhp when the new one far more usefully puts out just short of 40?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at suspension first and if it isn't that great then how you can make it better. You can have all the power you want but if the suspension isn't working properly then that power could get you in trouble. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still got the Givi top box. Not gonna bother with the hand guards,. Gonna need a rack and pannier frames if the CB500's one won't fit, there is a chance they will. Fender Extender for the front, screen protector, some stick on tank pads, bobbins and paddock stand. Prolly some engine guards and maybe a screen. Only ordered a couple of bits so far, gotta wait for this months pay before anything else. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot easier explaining away things they haven't seen Amazon same day delivery nearly killed me, all the stuff turning up on the same day, not a good look, might be better for the wider environment but its not better for the environment I have to live in when it looks like Santa's been early 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
