Title: Newcastle NSW
Post by: Mr Bones on Thursday, 08 May 2025, 11:04 PM
Mr Bones here. 
G'day to you all.
Yesterday afternoon this found itself way into my shed

2001 with 27xxxkm on it. It's got a Givi top box and a Stainetune full system.  From what I can tell apart from that it's stock.
I'm 6'5 so we'll be sorting the seat and making it higher for me. Then I'll look into brake lines and what not.
Any way you'll see me around here from now on 👍

Looks nicely unmolested.

BTW when you do the seat, keep the original cover. They sell for £50-60 on their own here.

Gidday Mr Bones, welcome to the forum.  I'm 6'5" tall as well.  Got my seat resculptured with Gel Insert, put bar risers on & 50mm extra length SS brake & clutch lines.  That helped me a fair bit, however I still got hip cramps with my feet being tucked up like they are. I did a lot of miles on the GSX & had a great time with it, but I've moved on now, to a power cruiser with forward controls, (2023 Rocket 3 GT) suits / fits me much better.

This is just a play toy. I have a Tiger 900 RP which is my serious bike
