TLS Questions

[S&S]

Howdy,

If ya looking for a big fun V-Twin like a TL's, then why not go the whole hog & get the face eater of a TL'R already with full fairings & a few more tricks in the bag ?

Thanks guys, yeah I have been searching and came accross some good info and problems to look for.


Any ideas on the fairings?

lower fairing...www.sportsbikesnz.co.nz

Get the TLs....1st thing to buy....ohlins rear shock....2nd thing....ohlins [or similar adjustable steering damper] third thing to buy...fork revalve and spring..... then maybe get your fairing....

Get the handling sorted...you have been warned...

coz they are fat and heavy...and smell funny...and are no faster...well topspeed they are...but not quicker...

Marty has an awesome TL for sale PM him. The best looking fairings ( I reackon) are ex UK. They are made by the same outfit that make the fairings for the SV's you see around. I saw them in a catalogue that Suzuki UK put out and got one shipped over. Looked hot. Thats the same type that Marty is wearing on his.

I agree the lower fairings do look great. Im new to the site too, seams everyone is really helpful.

Mate your pic is outrageous. Where did you get that from

[S&S]

My mate just got a VTR, damn nice bike, sounds great, handles & goes well. Worth considering.

Subtle as a brick eh?
Nah mate get want tickles ya bits I reckon Nothing better than a decent growl out ya pipes though

I KNOW, and I can confirm the rubber that gets spat in my face everytime the throttle gets wound on, they do chew through back tyres a bit, but we think we've got that sussed. The sound is awesome, I know, cause Im the one that right behind it (or try to be). Dont like all the decals, but that can be sorted. Oh, and you can set off car alarms, great fun on a Friday night

I'm not biased at all, buy a freckin TL, no offence to VTR firestrom owners, well apart from markNZ, but they are slower, suspension is even worse than the TL's, look bloody boring and ugly to boot and are bloody boring to ride, compared to a TL, what else.............. Honda, but in saying that at least it aint a duke .

I've had two TLS's and my current one has taken some fair abuse alright and it's still mint as, right off the showroom floor, errr sort of. But a stonkin good fun bike, not worthy of the rep some people give em, on the road they handle sweet, the track you can find it's limit's, some people spend thousands trying to sort, i just brought a GSXR1000K3, and then that broke down, fuck.

When the time comes and you8're looking, there are many a good deal out there, if you need someone to have a squiz at a TL for you up in the upper end of the north island, give me a yell, i'll help you out any way i can.
