    Funny-------all of a sudden ---the pic,s are comming up on my snail pace computa.

    I see what you mean---Ellen DOES have a bit of "ducks disease".
    Seat looks O.K. though. ----No carrier is a bit of a bummer.
    Dont get one like they have on the stockman,s. Would have the potential to take half your arse off,if you were unlucky in an "off".
    My old 97' has a good one,not TOO wide.If you want to build one, could send pic,s of it , Monstaman,can,t post em here ,but PM me with your Email address,& I will send em.
    Are those Zeta handgaurds,-----were they on it?? look good.
    Acerbis ones look a bit "heavy" on a little bike.
    All you,ve gotta do ,is give the bike a name.
    CHEERS---- AL.

    Yup, named!

    Took off, indicators, passenger sets, tool box mount and bag etc, basically 5 kg of stuff she doesn't need or need to try and hold up while learning to ride.

    Figured I would take the indicators off before she did as I can put them back on if I remove them

    And yeah as you can she is no monster, 5'2" and 50 kg.

    Last night was the slalom cones setup, breaking, riding between narrow lines etc so all about control and she did really well with feet up everywhere and a relaxed controlled look, next Wednesday is D Day with the rider trainer for provisional license

    PM on its way with e.

    A ventura rack is always an option. The 97-04 Sherpa rack fits fine, Just gotta give the brackets some slight "encouragement".
