New Aussie GSX owner

[Masterbates]

Hi everyone,

I am the lucky new owner of a 2004 GSX1400.  Got the bike for a relative steal, ir has 78000 kms on the dial so far.  Have had it serviced, everyone but a valve clearance.
The mechanic was very happy with the bikes condition and many positive remarks were had.

It needs a good clean and polish, a little bit of the lacquer on the forks and engine casing is pitting but less then I have seen on other examples. 

The short term goal will be cleaning up the forks, engine casing, crash bars and headers.  Make the bike look pretty stock, I'll figure out what I want to do after that.

Thanks everyone,

I didn't even notice that emoji Kiwifruit, I'm sure it will get a lot of use

The bike is fantastic, so far it has been a joy to ride in all circumstances.  Very please with my purchase, can't wait to give it the TLC it deserves.  Lucky for me a lot of people on the forum have done a lot of the hard yards.  So much information to go through.

My only real concern is selling the CB500 now...

Bit of colour on the wheels is a nice highlight. Where in Australia are you ?

Hi and Welcome 

[Masterbates]

GSXKING, I am currently NSW South Coast, looking forward to getting out and about on the weekends.  I do like the pop of colour on the wheels, but am a little undecided on the gold.  with the wheels, forks and engine casings I haven't decided if I am going to polish, paint or powder coat yet.  The forks had fresh seals and oil done back in Feb, so I don't want to strip them down anytime soon, so it will be polish or paint for them.
