    Hi… I’ve looked at this forum off & on for a few years, but I’m not that savvy with “new age gadgets” !!… . It’s an age thing !!… Ive been biking for many years, I probably spend more time working on my bikes, than actually riding them. I have a 2009 Speed triple 1050. I’ve altered and fitted a few things to it. A 675 Street triple clock fly screen, 675 belly pan. 1050 Tiger crash bars. Fabricated a 6mm mild steel support rail, to bolt under the 1050 seat subframe, to fit a set of Givi hard panniers (pannier carriers from a 2014 Honda CBR 650F). Also fitted a 1050 speed triple rentec top box carrier, but altered to fit around the other parts. Rear foot pegs from my 1999 R1.
    I also have a 2002 RSV Mille, with a Aprilia RST rear single sided swing arm, re-worked exhaust. A 1999 R1, fitted with a 995i ST single sided swing arm. (Viewable on You Tube). Lk forward to getting to know you all. Ride safe, be safe…. Enjoy biking.

    Welcome to the family. Yes like me i don't get any prizes for my mails but the great boys and girls on here always come to my recue. Pictures just hit the upload a file bottom right then fid your photos double click the one you want and it pops over. They got to be a certain size so you might have to crop some to fit.
    Joe.

    Morning everyone… Thanks again for all your welcome messages yesterday.
    If I’ve not replied to anyone, then I’m really sorry. I really struggle with technology, hence taking so long to go on this forum !!… .
    If you’re using your bike today as the weather is okay, please be careful out there. Thanks again G.

    Hi… Thanks for the welcome post. I “think” I’ve put pics of my bikes in possibly my profile. Was trying to add them to my original post, but no good with tech…. So they could be “ANYWHERE” for all I know !!… . Thanks again G.

    Morning…Thanks for the welcome post. I’m new to these sort of things, so will take me ages to learn how to post & reply to things !…. .
    I’ve been biking for many years, love all things bike related, but spend more time altering my bikes than actually riding them !… Trying to change that now though. . Hope you’re having a good day, ride safe. G.
