Unfortunately another year of my life has ebbed away......BUT, my sweetheart
asked if I would like some Helibars to which I replied hmmmmmmmm.
I think they would be a nice addition to the bike but if you had 200 quid to spend where would it go?
Sensible answers only please (yeah, fat chance) and you must spend it on the bike!!!!!
As I'm in plaster for another 5 weeks
I have plenty of time to do whatever mods may be suggested, within reason.
Cheers guys

Have you changed the rear shock yet? Or the Renegade airkit is a good mod if you can get one. Higher bars are good, I like my Variobars a lot.

Happy birthday!
Let's see:
- Tuono fairing with screen £100
- Tuono fairing subframe £80
- other bits £100
- bars £150
It's gonna be tight

rear shock
if that has been done, then i would go airbox kit and pc3 - the dollar is shagged again so would be nearly doable.....

Hmmm, 200 squid divided by average of £15 per tank equals 13 tankfuls @ 160 miles a tank
= 2133 miles.
Yup, that'll go to the Alps and back
woo hoo, road trip

Care to let me know where you can get a whole tankful for £15 ?
I'd be up for some of that!

I can - although I never used to be able to.
Keith does too - he reckons it's the Iridium plugs. My fuel consumption dropped dramatically when I fitted mine - it was when the bike was serviced and I know they played about with the fuelling so I'd put it down to that ... until Keith mentioned his had improved dramatically when he fitted his Iridiums.

I did say average, assuming cheaper prices in France.

That's what I get, I don't rev mine out a lot so suspect that helps.

Not this year, off to NZ at Xmas. Getting itching feet again though after seeing Davshalls pic of the Grossglockner Pass
