So the 9 and I went to Canberra's resident suspension expert last Saturday and got everything all perfect for me, and it really really makes a difference....

Next up another ebay bargain ( I love ebay )....

This gorgeous pillion seat cowl, genuine Kawasaki jobbie picked up for a song from the UK :kuda:

Next on the list is a new exhaust - I have been hunting the internets and haven't found exactly which one I want yet but am leaning towards a Micron like this one....

Antway saved me s lot of money as I was thinking about getting another set of plastics in the green to go with the bag.
I have a blue bagster that saw service on my C model 9 for the 11 years I had it. $100 and its yours (with a bag as well).

What exhausts (slip/bolt on) do people have? Im looking to hear some but dont want to rely on youtube cause there is lots of different microphones on peoples cameras.. and something that sounds tinny as on youtube might actually be awesome...

thoughts?

Any thoughts anyone?
Its like that so that when you tip into a corner the water is forced upward toward the centre of the tyre.
It minimises the chance of aquaplaning the front due to water being trapped in the treads as it gets forced down toward the road.

Slip-on Akra. Awesome!!!

I had a Megacycle on my old one which was a bit loud but sounded OK.

what he said - on both counts
If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.
Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.
