    I sometimes miss my one as well, but I get to ride another one.

    My old one (the sexy grey with red wheels) is on the market again.

    I miss mine when I am at work. But there it is in the garage when I get home just waiting for me.

    Ive recently done, Givi crash bars (my god what a difference, bike feels way stiffer but feel heaps more vibes), New springs front and back (again big help), Low mount Yoshi (1000hp on the butt dyno and lighter, bike does feel less top heavy) and new braided lines going on in the weekend.

    I do want a power commander.

    Heaps done and always planning something.

    Cutting some slots into the wee covers by the tank/side covers (hey I may have saved 4 grams!!!!).

    I've a fancy looking seat cover on it's way from Hungry or somewhere like that (ebay) - nothing wrong with existing, it is just a bit ...... plain.

    I carbon wrapped my motor side covers. I had thought of putting a vent in the LH side cover to give it more air in the inlet. Then I remembered I cant cut a straight line. May drill holes.

    The last one I remember... the power commander failed after 100,000km odd, and took a lot of time to diagnose it as the fault. The Hornet was perfectly fine after it was removed.

    I toll ya before, an I'm gonna tell ya again, don fuck wif 'em.

    100000k? I will take those odds. Still got it? Reckon I can fix it.

    Seems faults with them trace back to dodgy connections with the loom that should have been soldered not crimp connected.

    Ask Toto, he probably threw it away, I never contemplated doing many mods.

    Mine has Ohlins rear shock specc'd to me, Givi crash bars, pannier racks and top box plate and Renthal bars. Mostly practical stuff... Oh, custom exhausts that take the stock heat shields, but perform a bit better.

    I would like an Ohlins for it but a rear shock worth half the value of the bike? A new rear spring for me has done wonders.

    Im on the lookout for a pair of forks to see if I can pull the cartridges. I would like to play with the valves.
