Title: new member hello
Post by: Thomps991 on March 11, 2013, 07:55:15 AM
hello i have been lurking around reading lots of threads since before christmas but thought I would formally say hi. i bought the bike used with 18000kms and the previous owner said this was a very good forum for the bike and it helped him out alot. ive spent months reading all kinds of great info and  i dont think i will have to many questions about upgrades since he did alot of the ones i would have wanted to do.  brakes and tires are all i will need at somepoint. I really love the bike so far but have only ridden it a few times when the weather was decent so looking forward to spring!  Here is a pic he had put an yamaha shock new front springs and oil, the exhaust and carb jets with a k&n filter a new windsscreen pegs and turn signals which are all things I've read (well the suspension and jet stuff anyway) the bike really benefits from.  I might change the pegs tho these ones are not too comfy.  it has a charging port to which is cool for my phone. Thanks. 

Thompson

Welcome!  You have a great lookin' bike there.  You are pretty lucky to have the hugger on the rear too!  Protect that shiny R6 shock  :thumb:

Clean bike, welcome to the club. All these "newer" guys make me feel like an old vet around here.
