Things a bit quiet on here lately, thought I'd bung up a pic for ya'll (historical admittedly)

Wow, sweet looking 14. What headlight and fairing assembly is that? And was it effective? Also, how much elbow grease was requited to polos your fork lowers to that amazing level of finish?

only took 2 kiwi birds a side, their feathers are natural sandpaper. The screen is to keep the Kea's away

LOL,  from memory, the shine came from stuff called Plexus, it's for cleaning / shining perspex, aircraft windows & incidentally, boat windscreens too.  But, it works excellent on painted surfaces as well, bike shops often shine up the bikes in the showroom using this stuff.  Quite expensive here, but if you don't have any of that, use Pledge spray furniture polish, works nearly as good and waaay cheaper.


Barmy will be horrified!! 

The fork legs were just sanded down with various grades of wet & dry till they came up nice.  Haven't stayed like that though.

Think that pic was from 2016, so before I chucked in down the road & over the bank.

Correct - Barmy is very horrified !!!!     

However, if we are delving into the past for a bit of retro....

Oh if we're playing the retro pic game...

Box Hill, 14th Oct 2007. My first ORG meet, about a week after I'd got my 14. Remember saying something like 'A new member with a rather clean 14 joined us' Barmy?

That's cause us B/W owners are that much faster we got to ORG events years before the other colours.

Yeah Hooli, great pic. Retro, 2012, mine arrived, bought online, major Suzuki dealer, never before spent those bucks online. I threatened if not perfect, balls to be lost. Boss of the shop delivered to my garage door, i was amazed, so perfect. Now, nearly 13 yrs later, ive made it far better bike, this forum is part of my life,one of my best life moves.

[Eric GSX1400K3]

First pic of my '14 i can find on this phone I'd bought it a while before but hadn't taken any photos

[Hooli]

That got me thinking Eric...

These are pics from the day I got mine home, first Saturday in October 2007.





She's done a few miles & adventures since then.
