hi-ya all

Bluey, we did meet at the cafe at aberistwith (sp) last year , were you the bloke that sat on my bike ???.

as for the conversion i bought it from demon tweeks, you can get it from other places though, it's called a superbike conversion kit from a company called LSL , in germany i think , you have to get the bars separately i chose renthall 758's you also get 2 new brake lines and they say you can use the original clutch line but it means bending the rigid pipe quite a lot so i had a new line made up all told it cost me about ?250 ish i think , but it does make the bike 100% more enjoyable to ride, here's a pic of a close up of the adapters fitted

and as for the vario screen, it's excellent , i'm 6ft 3 and with the new upright riding position it deflects the wind blast right over my head, cost about ?90.00 i think money well spent.

nowt wrong with the screen m8, as they say in the eye of the beholder, works for me anyway, at least there's been no digs yet about it not being a real blackbird cause it ain't black, at least it's the 2 tone primer,

the only marks on it are under the seat unit where the previous idiot scratched it when putting on the wingrack, but otherwise in good nick
