Newbie with 600

22-03-2009, 02:24 PM

Hi

I'm 21, Live in West Lancashire and recently bought a '99 M600

This was it when I got it

Now I have done away with the mirrors and replaced them with bar end jobs, put smaller indicators on and I am currently messing with the arse end to make it a bit shorter and tidier but not doing the full chop.

Bought a set of clip on's for it too so they will be going on when I get round to it!

Cheers

Thanks for the kind replies!

Blue flames sound pretty good, throaty but not too loud when riding round town. Make the right noises when you open it up though! They have removable baffles which pop in and out in seconds with a circlip, handy for the MOT

Bar end mirrors were £20 on ebay, personally I like them over the standard mirrors plus you can see everything instead of just your shoulders!
