It took me I while to realize that there are many bikes better than a Harley having owned one for a while. It was a toss up on GSX 1400, XJR 1300, CB 1300 or ZRX 1200. I know its hard to guess which one I bought!!! I over the moon with the bike, it is a B1 2002 s model, so the first job I think will be changing the can then taking of the fairing and putting twin spots on. I have been so impressed with some of the bikes I have seen, very few being standard as mine is at the moment. Can anybody recommend a rack for when I do some rallies, don't like them to big. Cheers Paul

a converted tractor driver, welcome to the :zrxuk: plenty of racks around and if you wait a few weeks there might be a couple of second hand ones for sale on here. What colour is your S, any pics, you going full exhaust change or just can. We might take some getting used to as when we are not taking the piss out of each other then we tend to take the micky out of Hardley Diggerson bikes. It is however, mostly all good fun. Welcome again

Hi Paul Renntec racks wok well, or some of the upmarket jobbies too, Kappa, Givi. Welcome to the site :uk: Oh and I bet its nice to be able to go round corners properly now too Look after the "s" fairing or sell them on the American owners site, as they never had the s model across the pond, so they fetch quite a few $$$$$$$$$$$$

Nice one will keep an eye on the site. My mates always take the pi** out of the tractor, hopefully people will talk to me again. Ive upset many a tractor owner as I would not clean mine and I used it every day for work and it got wet lol.

Hello Paul and welcome to the site, if your into modding you came to the right sight mate, have a look round theres plenty of info on racks and pannier systems on here at mo, enjoy This luggage system question gets asked a lot maybe we should add a sticky somewhere (FAQ/How Do i Do That) for photo's, prices, fitting ect. Esp as were all adding diffrent setups to our bikes for Normandy at the mo.

Wotcher mate, and welcome to :zrxuk: I've got a 2002 B2 as well. Best bike I've ever had BTW Congratulations on becoming the 600th registered member to XRXUK!!! No-one else will be able to make that claim. Don't let Phoenix sweet talk you into giving away the fairing As YB says, they are like rocking horse poo
