Title: Hello from Norfolk
Post by: Bladesman on Saturday, 16 February 2019, 05:58 AM
Hi

Non-owner of a GSX 1400 here (hoping to buy one shortly), but thought I'd introduce myself first and say hello before I start asking questions!

Cheers, Martin

Welcome from Sunny Suffolk.

There's a lovely 07 plate Blue and white in Orwell Motorcycles in Ipswich at the moment.  From memory 18,000 miles a couple of tasteful mods ie nice end cans (can't remember which make) and a clear small screen.  Nice looking bike.  Quite expensive though £5700 which is more than I paid for my 03 new!

Regards
Chip.

Welcome from Norfolk.

Thanks Alan

That seems pretty steep - had a look at it online and it was £5750. Oddly (for a late edition model) it looked as though it had clocks from an early model (white faced). Maybe that's not so unusual, but seemed a little bit odd and made me wonder whether someone's changed the clocks? I might post a wanted advert.

It's quite common for folk to have had the clocks in bits.
A member "Q" has done lots of them.

Some folk add extra bulbs to brighten them up.

There's a neat mod that turns the lower numbers in the rev range into gear indicators.

To change the faces at the same time isn't unusual at all.
