Hi all,

Recently bought an 07 1400 and I love it.  Thanks to the forum's knowledge I was able to make a couple of quick mods (bars and tail tidy) to personalise and improve comfort. 

Incredibly lucky that there was a bloke selling an Ermax tail tidy kit only 45mins drive from me, he said he'd had it for 3 years and couldn't move it.  Snagged it for $150 which was a steal.

Went with another forum members bars and got the Pro Taper Windham's and they're great (have since removed the risers in the pic).

The install of the Ermax took me a whole day but got there in the end and I'm stoked with the result.  Some low profile mirrors and levers on the way v. soon. 

Thanks all!

Thank you both.  I know everyone must say the same but this forum is an incredible source of info and knowledge.  Going to give her a service before an overnight trip to Balranald this weekend.  Can't wait.

Nah I'm Aussie living in Aussie.  Balranald is about 4-5 hrs north from Melbourne somewhere in NSW.
