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

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?

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 :D , 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 ...?

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:
