TL1000R Project
I recently bought a TL1000R from interstate (drama!), and decided to customise it a little.
Motivation came from seeing it parked next to 2 identical bikes at a ride day, and I wanted mine to stand out.
I'll attach some pictures, so you can judge how I went with achieving my goal!
I also need some advice, and would like to chat with other TLR owners. It's my first V Twin and I'm hooked....!!!!

did you try creating an album and uploading the pics to that? you can do all that in your control panel ("user cp" button at the top left), then copy and paste the link from there

I'm rapt with the way it looks, sounds and rides. Huge thanks to Steve McDowall and Neil Anderson. I have so much more to go. Worst part is, I am stuck up in Newman working FIFO, and won't be home till next week.
Hope you appreciate it. Looking forward to getting some rides in next week (crosses fingers for sunshine!)
Gerald.

Oh, I meant to add, the dirty lying SOB dealer, never sent the single seat, or original owners manual (if they even exist), so I bought a replacement single from Suzuki, but need to get it sprayed to match the bike, which has new paint anyways, anyone with a good spray contact, please mail me at geraldbb@hotmail.com
Cheers,
GBB |

Thanks. I'm interested, but am in the process of moving over the next month so my TLR work will have to wait until Oct.
