LOL. I hear that. I just installed some LED lights in the bottom of the saddle bags for more running lights.

This is where the green comes from.

White paint/primer is the basecoat (same brand).

Qasual - Hit 135km/h today apparently, 120km/h on my tach is 135km/h on a ZX-R.

Man Cathy is taking forever to get into riding school.

A GPS seems to be the only way to get a true reading. Most bikes have a very optimistic speedo while the odometer is very accurate.

Today:
Removed stock mirrors and added bar end mirrors, have not yet driven with them but will do in about 3 hours, looking forward to it

Saturday:
Removed stock indicators and added mini stalk oval indicators (turn signals i should say

)
There was no screen on it but now there is, it came from a bandit and fits great, not too big either, I prefer smaller screens to the huge ones, I wont be out on any motorways/freeways anyway.

A few weeks ago:
Removed stock bars and added "Medium Braced" ones, they are lower and much more comfortable for me.
Removed the chrome pieces from the rear fender too.

Tomorrow, I am getting a full service. It was lying up for 4 months before I took it so needs a good thorough service, after this one I will be doing it all myself (I hope!)

After that I need to replace the seat cover as it is ripped at the back, and I am sure something else will come up

I'll add a picture later on!

Looking good. I will never understand why the Suzuki marketing dept did not label U.S models as a Marauder when the extra decal on the tank is so impressive compared to a little flat label.

Noticed in your pic that the brake pedal is very high. You can adjust it to a lower position below your foot for easier and faster operation. The high position seems to be a factory default position.
