Hi all

Have owned a Blue GTR 1400 for just over three years have to say its the best bike I have ever owned taking all things into account. This is bike number 14 for me in abut 12 years and have owned this one the longest so that should say alot.

Bike has custom saddle, risers, euro screen, satnav,  heated grips, grip puppies, throttle lock, foot peg lowering brackets,  Beowulf can, also powder-coated the wheels silver chrome.

I have done all my own spanner work on it since new and intend keeping it till wheels fall off and so far no problems at all. Fingers crossed though :smiley: Also have  a US import FZS1 Fazer 1000 so best of both worlds


Ah Well you only live once! Although still have trouble convincing the wife lol

Hello STM and WELCOME .... as you say ... "the best of both worlds" ... and you even have those lovely empty roads to play around on .... now that can't be bad !  :smiley:

O.C.

:185:  STM, its always good to see new members on this forum which I know you will find friendly and hopefully informative, there's often just a little piss taking too, but all in the best possible taste.  :mfr_lol:

Some pics of your bike and especially the Silver Chrome wheels would be interesting to see

Ask any question any time and you'll always get a response  :smiley:

Thanks....I like the wheels, I've been thinking about powder coating my wheels in a gold finish, I reckon it should look good on the Green bike

I have a set of spare wheels freshly coated in gold powder-coat and they look great will try and post a picture of them. I picked them up cheap a couple of years ago and put new bearings in when powder-coated. Think they will look good on blue too.

Welcome aboard STM, what kept you so long though? 3 years and your only joining now...  better late than never.

At least you'll be able to bring some knowledge and experience after 3 years of ownership and your own spannering, which is always welcome.

Hope your not snowed in at the minute.

Cheers Al.

Weather is cold here but no snow thankfully.
