G'day guys, thought I would post some pics/details of my first bike.... Ill hang onto this for my LAMS period, Nice big bike to cart my big frame around (6'6 130kg) Brand new on the showroom floor: Removed all stickers/Badges and pillion: Fitted some Black V&H Short shots: Removed the chrome off my air cleaner: Painted Satin to match pipes: Probably wont do much else, She's loud and comfortable, what more could i want eh? Maybe a Tan leather seat..... Maybe... Garrett

Fantastic stuff... looks superb. I've done 99% of the work you have except I've kept the air cleaner cover chromed. I love (well..maybe not love but you know what I mean) the V&H short shots and they sound fantastic ... I like the black look you have. I got chrome but should have gone black although, I've black exhaust wrapped mine. Have you thought about adding a better (high flow) air filter, I've got the K&H HA-7504 model as it suits our VT-400 (Fuel injected models) I must admit I believe the K&H has made a noticeable difference! Hahahaha.. go the tan seats ..............I've just ordered a Tan (Antique tan coloured) Bobber style seat for my VT-400 Fantastic bike.... well done Pete

Grats on making the bike yours mate . Me i like keeping chrome . ;D job well done and i guess the pipes are loud . No baffles in them i gather. Being tall as you say how, the legs going . Might have to get peg extensions or a hwy bar to stretch out more . Cheers Ray

Cheers Ray Black mirrors would look good eh. I'm kinda thinking bout pipes but I have a feeling that wont happen for a while yet, if it ever does (I dunno if I wanna keep spending on the 400).
