So does this now make you eligible for the OzSToc special interest group?

Well done Streak.
I have fitted two of those sump guards to STroms and made a modification to hinge from the front so you can get the oil filter off without having to take the guard off, just undo the two bolts at the rear.

Hang on. ... you just bought a new (2nd hand) bike, but immediately you have to have it serviced an a new tyre fitted???
What happened to the road Worthy??? Re new tyre.....

All good Sabie,
Bike passed roadworthy (Nick who owned the bike and i use the same mechanic)
Any new vehicle i buy i always get fully serviced and given a once over by my mechanic, i like to start with the bike tip top and ready to go, i did it with both STs and our car.
Rear tyre was only just good enough to pass roadworthy, my mechanic also fits tyres so rather than do 2000km and take it back for a new one i just decided to get it all done at the same time so I am good to go

After my off with the which came with the bike, I would start by changing tyres too. You don't always know how old (hardened) they are it how hard a compound they are.
If I had done what Steak is doing, I believe I could have avoided one stack.

There's a name for that, it's called OCD..

Looks like u've got yourself a good "DL" (deal) there Streak - congrats!
2up tho, u will see your km's / litre plummet in comparison coz the STeed handles xtra weight with "relative" ease.
