Bought a TL1000R Project. Going to be fun this!

Why are you trying to please anyone but yourself anyway? I say, if you like it, go for it. Plus, personally, I think its hawt (Ok, that blue springs annoying me, but only because it was pointed out )

[Doovy]

[P.]

The exhaust look a bit OTT, would rather have the pipes route under the sump then kick up behind the rear sets, exits facing out slighty, like |||N30|||'s AR exhaust on the BMW.

The paint scheme, well each to their own. Bit too "hot" for me, prefer a more basic colour scheme, matt black with white touches or something. God rear sets to match forks, gold sprocket/chain you know.. small things.

Can't wait to see the outcome though, regardless of the state

Previous page bike looks shite.

[devojunior]

not keen theres far to much going on, if it was mine however id have grey renthal grips get rid of the handle bar brace, get the tacky gold trinkets off or black and a more flush headlight of something like an mt01 or something .

It's the hideous exhaust that does it for me!

Student loan goes in, student loan gets spent!

There's £350 worth of stuff there:

Titanium disc bolts all round
Titanium sprocket nuts
Talon rear sprocket
Renthal front sprocket
DID X ring chain
Full Samco hose set
Brand new cush drive rubbers

Got some stainless hose clamps on the way to go with that. Also got £150 order from Suzuki containing seals and other bits I'll need.

When I'm next home I'm going to take the yoke and forks off. Give the forks a quick oil change. Then knock the bearings back out the swing arm and get a load of parts to be taken to be powder coated black.

Even if I put fairings on, then a black frame looks more modern.

I'll also contact the soda blasters and see if I can drop the engine down to be blasted. Found a colour for it as well which I think is close to the original, then can go with gloss black covers as it is standard.

Ever ridden a big twin before? I'd be a bit cautious spunking all your money on tarty bits when you might not like it.

Looking at your bike history it's been with revvy IL4's instead of tractors.

Saying that, I didn't mind the R I rode, preferred it to the S.

[0l0dom0l0]

[P.]

It is a different ride for sure, the noise is one redeeming feature.

I can't really think of another, thirsty, agricultural... they look good though

[Doovy]

The noise is insane. I did like it

My TL was my first twin

at first it was odd to ride! it took me a good 6 months to get used to how the power is delivered etc

I have had the bike 7 years now and cant bring myself to get rid of it I even walked away for a cracking deal on a zx10r when I wanted one and had the cash in my pocket

[CHR15]

my take on big twins is that there flat out or nothing.

thats what my mille's like anyway. if you try and tootle round on it its not nice to ride, but flat out its a good laugh.
