Hi guys, just want to introduce myself from Victoria in Australia, I have a black 2008 that I have had for a couple of years now, i doesn't get a whole lot of action, but it is nice to know that it is sitting there ready to go, fuss free anytime it's called upon, if I can work out how to post photos( I'm old) I will do so shortly.
Steve

Yes it pretty well equipped with a car scissor lift as well as a coffee machine and gas heater so I tend to spend a fair amount of time out there as there is usually something due to be serviced or worked on over winter
Gidday Steve, welcome to the forum. Lovely bike there, especially the colour, Blacks are just special, love 'em. And being old - you'll fit right in! :cheers: :onya:

G'day Steve and welcome to the nut house. :stir: of course we all know BLACK is not a colour, it's a shade. Blue and White is a mix of colour and shade. :lol: :lol: :lol: :cheers:

being a big fat bastard 6/4 115 kg I found the seat very uncomfortable after a short ride as the seat foam would squish down to the point that the seat base was digging in, anyway I found another seat at a wreckers and took it to ACM, he raised it, 30mm at the back and 50 mm at the front, pretty sure that right, and used the firmest available foam, totally transformed it, I can ride for a couple of hours and be comfy now.

Well done Steve!!
ACM ????? Who is that ? Looks like a great job even shaped it with additional height very well.

Great bike & workshop Steve. Welcome aboard :cheers:
I use a local guy. Thoroughly recommend his no crap attitude. Very reasonable prices as he works from home, so no shop rent.

Some like gel inserts or a sheep skin cover. I like the seat firm.
Hi Steve.
As another old bloke in Australia with a black 2008 GSX14 up on his bench lift we might have something in common.... :grin:
(Although yours is a LOT nicer than my 14)
