Hi, I am Bob and live in Warrington, Cheshire and have just replaced my blue 04 reg TDM900 with a brand new TDM900 in white (its rained ever since I picked it up ) and had all my accessories swapped to my new bike.

Extras are ...

MRA Screen

Hand Guards (from sv650)

Yamaha heated grips

Mirror extensions

Radiator cover

Givi Engine Bars

Yamaha centre stand

Givi Pannier rails & VL35 panniers

Givi Maxia 52ltr top box

Renthall Bars

Fenda Extender

Fuel Race cans (slip-on oval stainless)

Still to be fitted are my sat nav and intercom system.

Just wondering if I smell or have said something wrong? I joined this group and introduced myself and not even a reply.

Bob - thinking of changing user name to "billy no mates"

Unfortunately there's no large regular user group here these days Bob. More's the pity.

Just a continual influx of dumbasses just asking one stupid question (usually about supercharging a fucking moped or something) and nothing else.

Still.....good to see you! And nice TDM!

Thanks, I found this site by google but am already on www.carpe-tdm.net which is especially for the tdm and a very good site with lots of active people. It is mainly UK based but we have members from all over the wrld.

Bob

:D how do man :D

Thanks kev, I am doing fine. was up your way just after easter with wifey but in the car not on bike. fantastic scenery and riding roads.

Bob

Sweet looking ride. Is that a twin or an I-4?

Hi Alan, if you are asking about the bike it is a Yamaha TDM900 which is a twin cylinder 900cc with five valve heads. They are good for around 130mph or 60mpg depending how you ride. If you are asking about the exhaust system it is the standard 2 into 2 which comes on this model.

:D oh yes, been up here for ten-eleven years man been driving a white van for ten,wicked scenery :D

Can you say if you had any major problems with fitting the heated grips and hand guards ? Like the screen addition does it "work" as well as it looks? Certainly looks the "business"

bobalob5 NEW TO THIS PLACE TO

NICE BIKE

GIVE US A SHOUT IF YOUR EVER DOWN THIS WAY.

DARK WET WALES THAT IS

The screen is the MRA touring screen and realy works great, have tried the yamaha tall screen and a double bubble but this one is leaps ahead of the others. the grips were swapped from my old 900 by the shop but I just fitted renthall bars so the had to come off and on and I had no problems. The hand guards I fitted to my old 900 and the job took less than an hour (had the groves machined in bar ends by a friend) and were cheep to, they are standard on Suzuki DL650 and come with fittng kit for £24.

Hello Bob,

Thanks for the info regarding the screen, it sounds promising and I think I might consider getting one of these plus the hand guards.
