My new ride!

Unread postby PirateRiderBen » Wed May 13, 2015 11:13 pm

Traded my VFR for this 2013 CB500F. Givi fly screen and Oxford heated grips. I've ordered a GSXR750 rear shock off eBay that is a direct replacement, will be working with the forks as well, getting a gel seat pad, some new tires, and other tid bits as money allows. It's such a hoot to ride! I love it so far.

Looks like the bars will allow a more comfortable seating position.

I can't keep up with your bikes lol---do you still have the Tiger?

The rising position is shockingly good for me. Very neutral but still able to choke up on it when you wanna get wild in the turns.

The Tiger is still with me, for now.
