    So finally put some photos up of my ride.  This is the first motorbike I have owned - only had my licence 12 months now.  She's a bit rough but runs well and gets me from A to B with no complaints and can do it quickly enough too when needed. Considering giving her a bit of TLC but where to start and when to stop is the question.

    As long as it goes and gets you around it doesn't matter how it looks.  ;D

    Start where ever you feel confident you can do what you want. that's the easy part. As for stopping that is the hard part. just ask yourself do I really need to do it or do I just want to do it. that may help you decide when to stop. or you just end up doing because you want it and can't stop yourself.  :BangHead:

    Anyway good luck with it.

    Hey Cameron,

    Are they the exhausts you got through John (Chris posted his details up on the forum) who makes them for ZZR and GPX's?  Did you get the short or long ones and have you noticed any improvement in performance?  I use my bike for commuting pretty much every day in suburban traffic so have kept it stock but wouldn't mind a bit more noise from the bike so people in cars might hear me if they can't see me.  Also thought about chucking a K&N air filter in as well but then combining the aftermarket exhausts and the K&N will then probably lead to carby issues i guess.

    Yes they are i too put a k&n filter in was looking to put bigger jets in as we'll but one step at a time I did get the bike retuned through cmc so it runs alot cleaner now and the top end power seams to be a little better.
