Feeling chuffed

Got my bike beginning of the week, came with Shorty levers. The bloke that owned it previously hadn't put them on due to the colour not quite matching. After not knowing how to do it, couple of youtube videos later and I'm in the garage 15mins later with both levers changed over, all in good working order. win.

I know this is one of the easier things to do but always nice to do something new that you didn't know how to before.

Please someone post my well done certificate from kb. .

Now to figure out how to keep the R&G tail tidy but somehow add a guard to help the rain and dirt up the back. but make it look decent. Don't like the look of the aftermarket guards attached from the swing arm.

And the tinkering has begun......

going from the hyo gt250 to z800 has been great fun. Love that torque, and a night and day diference in quality and ride. The step up has been no dramas, my age probably helps with that though!

Jokes aside, good job. It not exactly fitting a turbo kit but still you "customised" your bike. Well done

That might be a problem, you already have a hugger. Most guys with the aftermarket body work don't actually ride their bikes much except on sunny Sundays.

Cool. Glad you're enjoying it ...

Don't take any notice of the detractors .. it's your bike, make it how you want it ..

He's asked for a well done badge, not a virginity badge!

Nothing quite like arriving home after riding through rain and road works and looking very much you loved doing it.
