It must have been the shirt - big wheel, tasteful orange on black. The whole bunch were new to me but just goes to prove that wearing the KB Tshirt works. Maybe I should get one :cool2:

Yes, been delimited. Up near Culverden on Sundy passed some cars and the mate asked what speed did mine say as he was at the 190 mark (end of scale) - reply, dunno, the speedo stays on 180 whatever speed over it is.
Tint screen could be a goer and new can at some stage - not spending dosh at present. BTW it did 53mpg on the Nelson trip - thought that was OK.

Do you know where he got the back seat replacement? Looks useful to put stuff for an overnighter.

A big welcome. I'm afraid the back pain may not be solely related to the bike you ride...........comes with the territory. I know!

The beemer though does not give me much gyp with the back. It has a riding position more suitable for those who (like me) have abused their backs for a few years already!

Loved the rickshaw story. Having spent a bit of time around Asia I can see the picture clearly in my minds eye.

Catch you around.

I'm sure that the single seat cowl is a Suzuki part, the screen X NZ and the belly pan x Japan (aftermarket brand)

Something that my help with your back is Glen had the rear seat ultered so as it gave him more room to move about as he was having back problems (more due to his weight) This mod also gave the bike a better look as it took the straight up and down line at the frount of the rear seat and angled it back.

Allo Jimmie...

Gidday Jimmy --glad to have ya on board. Bloody nice bike those GS's
Hey re the sore back um ya might just find its an aclimatisation /fitness thing.
First time back on the track and my hips, lower back ached for about a week.
You might find you're using muscles that don't normally get much use
You Might wanna try changing position on the bike every so often -feet on rear pegs,sit upright, full racing crouch. The variation might help the back--I know it does for me.

Welcome to the madhouse

This is all good advice, but if all else fails here, try getting someone to sew you up a nice leather cushion to tie or rivit down to your seat...

(damn if I made a good design I could make a killing with these... I'll get to work on monday)

hello and welcome.i wear a back protector that also doubles as a kidney belt which helps if i have a sore back.

Me too. My backs got better since I got my one. A bit of yoga helps too.
