Hi all
« on: September 13, 2012, 15:54:10 »
Hello to you all. I'm a new V-strom rider though have been riding for many years. After 6 long trips around Europe on a 600 bandit I felt the need to get something more comfortable!
Had the strom 3 weeks now and love it, have added givi luggage frames (£20 from ebay) and givi top box adaptor. Made a tweak to the screen from a fix I found off here and now no buffeting at all. Made a Sat Nav bracket that attaches above the clocks (a bit of stainless tube and 2 M8 bolts through the screen bracket)
Now looking forward to lots of trips and lots of miles.

Life isn't about waiting for the strom to pass.... it's about learning to dance in the rain
