Sweet, very very sweet

Get your butt over to the Renntec website and get a grab rail. they are going cheap right now.(17 quid)
Also, pick up a sports rack while you are there, handy to have.

Braided brake lines are made of win they will really sharpen up the stoppingness

Much service history with it?

Looks very tidy! Welcome to the forum

Hello and welcome. Take no notice of CaNsA, you don't want a grab rail on it, it will only encourage passengers Make it as uninviting as possible for 'em and you won't get bothered. Better still, get a small tailpack for the pillion seat, then there's no room left

He's right about the braided lines, though....

[tchallenger]

glad you like it ! , there some service history it all seems clean to me, well the braided brake lines sound like a great shout , will look at a tail pack seems like a good idea , not going to have a pillion often so they can just hold on tbh :L cheers guys

Hel braided lines are nice, racing quality, and you can choose to have the heatshrink plastic covering in different colours to complement your bike. Goodridge are also excellent and I think they are cheaper, but I don't think they are heatshrink coated, they just come as bare stainless. Nothing wrong with that if that's what you want.

I've got a Kreiga 10 litre tailpack which is excellent and not bulky at all. You can get waterproofs, sandwiches, drink in there and still have a bit of room spare. They come bigger, obviously, if you need more room. Very well made and 100% waterproof. Got it mail order from Infinity Motorcycles, who seemed as cheap as anywhere and delivered fine http://www.infinitymotorcycles.com/prod ... l-pack/252 I did find, however, that the straps to secure it didn't hold it that tight as they kept loosening themselves on the bumps so got some mini-tie downs off Ebay which were dead cheap and do the job http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/25mm-Cam-Strap-Bu ... 45fac38912

I have goodridge lines, they have a clear plastic coating on them.
