fieldarcher Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 hi, i'm typing with one hand as my right is in a sling due to a shoulder op so thats why there are not many capitals. i live in burgess hill west sussex and have owned my r6 for 6 years, as i am now old and victor meldrew like and have worn out wrists,no not doing that, i tried higher bars but they looked crap, this is how it looks now, since i can't ride for a few months i am changing the front lights to a stacked pair, between the forks, pics will follow. this is still an R6 goes like a R6, handles like a R6, more manuvarable in traffic, and a lot more comfortable. have fun keep it upright, graham

Moderator drewpy Posted November 13, 2011 Moderator Posted November 13, 2011 I'd call that bike, "the winker"
fieldarcher Posted November 13, 2011 Author Posted November 13, 2011 I'd call that bike, "the winker" I have named her marmite, so how about winky marmite? winkmite? How about a new thread, "what do you call your bike?"
