Hi there! My name is Tex & I hail from the Blue Mountains, NSW. I traded in my 2011 Yamaha XVS650 Custom for a 2012 Honda VT750S with no regrets. Currently clocked 8,000km on it so far. I've made a few cosmetic changes to the bike. Here's a pic. Hopefully works...

Thanks everyone A Vic run next year might be possible. Pretty sure my gf's Royal Enfield B5 will be able to handle it better than mine. I may have to rig up a fuel canister or two for the peanut Myo they're add-ons. Kinda felt the tank need a little something extra. Pretty pleased with them. Relatively cheap too.

Hope to catch up one day Cheers Ray Gympie QLD Cheers mate! I took it to an upholsterer. The stock seat was like wood. Caused so much pain after 20mins in the saddle. I also didn't really like the stilletto-style.

Mods look good tex, I don't mind the stock seat but I'm a featherweight, wouldn't mind a single custom saddle though.
I sympathise with the small tank too, maybe they did that to compensate for the stock saddle...make you stop more regularly!
