Hi from the south. So I decided to stop lurking and make an account. I bought my first bike 2003 GZ about a month ago and I love it, I can't seem to stop riding, even for a day. I had looked at many other bikes but was pulled towards the GZ, Virago, and Rebel because of my short stature 5'6 and because I wanted to do things right and start out on a smaller bike. Couldn't have been happier with my decision :2tup:
When I bought the bike it was fully stock except for a built in grip warmer. I adjusted the rear brake pedal to below my foot (thanks to this forum and the downloadable manual), removed the front fender, added black 3 inch round mirrors, taken stickers and emblems off, added different turn signals, and a home made side-mount licence plate (when I get time I'll write up a How To did a search and nothing came up, its VERY easy and doesn't cost much)
The plan is to eventually turn it into a bobber without ruining my clean title, so I'll be getting another rear fender and tank to paint instead of the originals
Later
Ride safe everyone
