Bloody hell Wookie, first post of yours i managed to understand and read all the way through :mfr_lol:, hope all goes well tomorrow you may have to get the botox out to relax the permanent smile.
Were you in a dark room when you chose it and decided to buy it? :popcorn:
No Mr Wolf the lights were on ..and yep ah did test ride a K16 00. . And am NOT ready for pipe and slippers yet . . And everyone to there own .. but overall .. it was shite ! Ah just can't get away with ex panzer .
Fankoo all of ya .. and yes after 5 mins in a dark room ah still wanted to cuddle her ..so it is love :mfr_lol:
So it's now run her in over the next 2 days .. well mebbees 3 lol
Woohoo oo
Good luck :clap:
Then congratulations are in order. :clap:
I remember many many years ago when I bought my 08 in 07. Had been following all the press on it and told the wife, it's a new model I'm going to wait it out for two years before I buy it. Had been going in and out of a dealer here locally waiting for one to show up so I could take a peek at a real one. Walked in the dealership one Saturday and there it was. Promptly got goosebumps looking at it and purchased on the spot. Called the wife and said 'Guess what?'. She guessed correctly. Put 200 miles on it, changed the oils, and went on an 1800 mile ride through Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio, and West Virginia. Have not regretted that purchase for one second. Congrats on yours, Wook.
Congratulations Wookie, they are indeed a gorgeous bit of kit, still in love with mine, and for those that know me that is quite a statement :punk:

I think Wookie must be stroking his new tool and dribbling all over it :mfr_lol: I
Well folks ! She arrived at 10.30 and by 11 I had her out :clap:
Compared to the 2009 c14 it's evolved into a awesome motorcycle .. it feels lower than the last one .. it isn't but the refettled seat allows me to get me hoofs flat on the floor .
The handling is sublime sooo much better than the early incarnation .
Also the wee plakky tool box under the seat is a perfik fit for my pro logic autocom .
Tomoz were gonna be out ALL day .. 1st impressions the only quibble is the bars seem lower on the 2016 .. time will tell :smiley:
Can't say that I blame him for that...
Wook mines an 08 and i test rode my pals 2011 after workin on it for him. Theyre like two different bikes. Mine felt as fast as his but his brakes being linked felt far better than mine. I found myself only using the back brake most of the time. How do yours compare wook?did your old bike have linked brakes?
I reckon the latest model is the best yet, well mine is far better than its 3 predecessors :yes:
Oh BTW my rear brake is :shit: and I will be looking into adjusting/improving it :yes:
No adjustment to the rear brake itself. You can modify the pedal height but be cautious doing that. After you adjust it make sure the brake light still works. Sometimes bleeding both bleeders on the calipre and then the one on the rear master cylinder can help. I've basically stopped using it for the most part.

thanks Jim, I'll be bleeding the bleeding system as I've noticed that the rear brake is sometimes sort of okay and other times it's crap,
And on a completely different subject I've just eaten far too many liquorice allsorts and now I feel :001_9898:
Aye Macskwak it's STREETS better than my 09 ...for a kick off ah can get me feet flat on the floor thanks to the re-profiled seat . And it's more bitty friendly .. no the brakes wernt linked . And the rear was feeble .. but unlike O.C my rear anchor on the 16 is MEGGA and that's with the softest option one the menu doodad.
Also found out today that the 16 bike only comes now with the tall screen .. so am gonna try either the laminar lip ..or puig screen ..open to suggestions O.C ..
Oh !. And Mrs WoOk has given the smile of approval too .. she loves it .... The BIKE ya scruffy buggas :mfr_lol:
Just spent today well thus afternoon wiring in the new auto com and the 595lm twatnav. ....
How many bloody chunky cables does that muvva come with :mfr_lol:
Mind you my forceps and surgical skill are getting very good ..
Ttfn
WoOk :kiss: :mfr_lol:
wookie...listen to O.C ....two words
☆☆☆☆☆☆"LAMINAR LIP" ☆☆☆☆☆☆:yes: :yes:
Aye ah know but haveing read some old post auld wook is confuzzled ( it don't take much)
Some folk who have bought one and others saying it's the wrong type and suppliers sayin it was right when it wasn't .. see wot ah meen
Now then you sage like octagenarian ..we're the hell did u get yours what part number ..inside leg and bust size .. lmao :mfr_lol:
TELL MEEEEEEE :ohplease:
You'll find screens and screen add-on's are like potato chips (crisps?). You can't have just one. I started with the stock 08, went to a Kawasaki tall screen (standard on 10-14 I think), CB Euro, and finally settled on the CB Ultra tour dome. Also be wary if you change bars (handlebars) or your seat as that can affect how you perceive the screen to work for you.

Looks good to me.
Looks even better to me PRD .. it rides bootiful .. its the 1st time in 20 odd years that I HAVEN'T started looking at either hyperpro ogling or nitron shocks .. Kawasaki have upped their game .. its far superior to the 2009 model.
I have wired in my aux fuse box for the cam feed twatnav and phone carrier ..all tucked away under the glove box .. and the Autocom pro fits nicely into the tool box with a slight mod ...
The Wookie are happy with the bug K ... spring should see a GSX1400 in me cave or GOOD z1200r .. oh and if ah play me cards rite a Bridport milling machine :smiley:
About time too- bike looks good best colour
Fankoo .. :clap: :clap: and she has just had a full coat of hard resin wax .. shines soooo much better than a bavarian motor (not)works lol :mfr_lol:
Very nice indeed :banana: How do like the new seat.
Well the seat seems to be bloody marvelous .. longest time is saddle was 3 hrs constant and apart from a wee bit of hip agravation (but less than normal ) no discomfort felt ..by neither the snapdragon or me :smiley:
Very nice wooks. Looking real saucy love the colour really pops in the light. Is that a little xjr 1300 i spy in pic 😃👍
You know a boot sale would let you be able to walk around in that garage lol
Yep that's me mates XJR .I have just put a new top end on it and have also given it a dose of TLC
Workshop wise ... I use everything in that garage ..and trust me ah had a megga chuck out 2 months ago .... and me sheds full as is the ermmm wot Mrs WoOk calls the utility room ..how daft haveing a special room to wash me sox . Wots wrong with a poss tub or a riffle board down by the local burn :mfr_lol:
Haha well quite wook i couldnt agree more. Why would you waste perfectly good storage space by puttin a washer in it. Outragous :mfr_lol:
Of course not being black it will not be very quick!
Wanna bet Mak :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:
Lol that was prd not me wook lol
Oops .. :oops: :mfr_lol:
Hey ah woz multi taskin :mfr_lol:
Late to the party Mr Wookie..............my apologies :innocent:
Love the photos of the new :scooter: ride................but what a nice man cave :punk:
Did I spy behind Mr Warco's lathe your Friday night chrome plated bondage chains hanging seductively
near to your new black and grey missile :whistling:
You guys know how to party up north :banana: :banana: :banana:
Aye it's a warco well spotted :punk:
And that's not chains ..it's wor lasses knitting ...Tuff women up here marra :mfr_lol:
:mfr_lol:
Now you have it. Do you think you might have been better off with a k 16
Honestly and respect to those that chose the K1600 ..no not for me .. rode one hated it ..lousy gearbox and a bit souless the engine yep it's torquey but it don't excite ..every time you open the garage you should be jumping for joy and gagging to ride ya bike . Beemers just don't do it for me.
I know we all rake the micky out of Beemers etc but it's good humour and yes it's a decent bike ..but honestly the Goldwing is better and hasn't as many probs .
Infact I have ridden them and yes ah would prefer it over the Beemers . :smiley:
