Sounds brilliant, looks good, rides good, roll on some dry salt free roads...

nice... good luck with the dry, salt-free roads, the secret of comedy is timing ;-)

Well done to you. Had my 821 Stripe since March after my 1100 EVO.
It's really really quick from 7,000 rpm onwards.

I've made a few changes to bits and pieces

Thanks for the replys, so in the dark winter months I will be scouring the internet and plotting and planning on carbon bits, exhausty stuff and luggage etc. Oh and polishing may come into it too :-)

Nice bike! Love my 821. Feels so agile when commuting in London traffic.

FYI, if you get a pair of termi's and decide to detail clean it, be careful of the silver guard. I've sliced my finger open on that thing...

Agreed, I have turned into a bit of a hooligan in traffic, lovely to be able to filter up to the front and listen to the blip on the pipes. Front wheel seems to get a bit light though as I pull away.

. It's a vee twin (Or L for the pedants found hereabouts), so enjoy the torque.

Nice photo's thanks, your bike looks really smart, but you'll get complaints from the purists that you've omitted the wheelie bins?

Thank you, so will this satisfy?
