midnight61 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 and here's my cruiser now, with cobra speedster shorts, cobra fuel processor, K AND N air filter and a subtle drilling of the air box. She rides like a different bike now and will hold 25mph in 3rd gear on a steady throttle with no surging. just how it "should" have come out the factory hey, clarkegray, nice bike mate, mine seems a different red to yours ...?

clarke Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 That is one nice looking bike... the pipes look great! Will have to start saving my £££s for new air filter/processor etc... Is your red more maroon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your red more maroon? my bike is a maroon colour mate,(yamaha call it "dark red") it's not an import either...i thought the colours available were black, blue and dark red....but you and i have 2 different shades of red which confuses me ?. The cobra shorts are a work of art and fitted like a glove and sound AWESOME , i'm sure its not just my imagination, but it picks up MUCH better now... i also have a tall screen which i only put on when i go on long journeys, you can see the brackets in the pictures at the top of the forks. I have no plans to change anything else ... i would like to single seat it with a rack but that doesnt sit well with "her indoors" so it may not happen, i'm going to look at a throttle lock (cruise control) next...i did look at the Vista universal cruise control but am unsure if it'll fit, any ideas guys ...?

clarke Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I thought the colour was bright red... the pipes look great, will have to meet up in summer for a listen? Know what you mean about single seat & rack - she'd not be happy at all...!! I've no experience of Vista control, but these guys seem to discuss it at length: http://1300tourer.com/content/how-intall-vista-cruise-throttle-lock http://1300tourer.com/search/node/throttle+vista Good luck Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
