Hello all. Finally got to go and pick up the
new ride yesterday. Absolutely love it. Just turned over 20,000k. Previous owner had it since new, and really looked after it, and didn't ride it much. A few pictures.
Really liking the sound of the pipes, I know they are heavy, but I think I will leave them as is at the moment. I have a tail tidy on the way, and I think that will do me for now.
Cheers.

Thanks for the great comments. I am now starting to wonder if I should do the tail tidy or not.....Haven't seen another in person with one to compare. Anyone have opinions on the look of them with a tail tidy?
On another note. Got acquainted properly today. Top day for a ride, so went for a ride through the Palmer hills, across to Mannum, back around to Murray Bridge and had some lunch on the river.

Thanks Stevo.
Is there a preferred place to buy the tail tidy's? I had one on order from a place in WA, but say it will be a couple of weeks away. I am assuming they buy them from the UK or the likes.
Cheers.

Okay so few things ordered.
HID Xenon Kit. Need better light for early morning rural highway commute.
Tail tidy is on the way.
This set of Tank and Knee Pads on the way. They are for the 10'-13' Z1000 but I will adapt them to fit. They are the only ones I have seen I like, and they are semi transparent, so the green paint shows through. The sides will fit fine, may need to alter the tank one slightly.

CNC Green bar ends coming.
Some trick looking LED blinkers.
Currently looking for some short levers.
Booked in next Tuesday for a FULL detail including Opti-Coat Pro.
Once everything is here and completed will update with pictures.
