Streak's V-Strom

[Streak]

Hi Team,
             Well I took a mental health day today and spent it playing with the new toy and doing some work to it to make it a little more my STyle...

Just for info it is a 2010 DL650 V-Strom, with 30,000km on the clock with 6 months rego, I paid $5,000 for it, i have spent about $400 in extras



it came with quite a few goodies added to it

12V point


Oxford Heated Grips


Gel Touring Seat


Adjustable Screen


Kaoko Throttle Lock


Fender Extender


Today was nice and fun, we installed a few new bits and peices

Dual USB Point


39L Shad topbox & backrest



Ram Mount X-Grip


60/55 H4 Bulbs


And of course my IBA plate (FR and OzSTOC Stickers to follow)


so all in all, i am hoping to get in a ride soon to test out all the new bits and pieces to see how everything settles in, i am really looking forward to doing some serious kilometres!

Ride to Wallengarra Tuesday

There is an excellent mobile mechanic here in Toowoomba, named AA motorcycle repairs, he runs a big trailer that he runs bikes into and works on.

he was running late and didnt get to home till about 7pm, we had the funniest evening laughing away, but Alister was excellent, walked me though the whole bike as he serviced it, showing me things to look for, and where things are, so the Strom has had a full service and a new rear tyre fitted, and we had a ball through the process, cant beat good people....

he is actually looking after most of the ST's in Toowoomba now

Motorbike service trailer is a novel thing. What is his charges per hour and travel?

That workshop trailer is one mighty impressive set-up!  Wishing him well with the enterprise.

I actually don't know, i trust him, and he does excellent work, price is secondary to me after that lol

The Strom looks very neat and tidy. Have heard many good things about them.

I took the Strom out for its first longer run yesterday, I did mainly highway with a few little back roads thrown in to have some fun, fueled up at 402km, i had used 19L out of 22L bike ran at 21.15km/L which i think will improve, and i think i need a bigger screen, the stock screen does let in some buffeting that was bothering me a little.
