Mirrors (not in the photos) are now fitted, i'm waiting for my indicators, bar ends and decals coming in the post.. should hopefully be mot'd by the end of this week all being well..

Gorgeous bike. friend of mine had a tl1000r. two triangle yoshi exhausts. Thing just grumbled and im sure yours is the same.
He put a modded lower fairing on and it looked really well

@dannyfawcett would love to be greedy and own a tl1000r aswell.. they give me the horn even more than the s.. but there is something super sexy about a tls in red.. thanks for the comments guys :grinning:

compared to some of his early days bikes he has nothing to fear from the TL
Nice job....any plans for downpipes in stainless etc...for me the black doesn't look quite right

Nothing yet terry.. Any of the aftermarket systems I've seen on eBay so far are way overpriced.. I'll keep a watchful eye and end up with something though

Look's well Jonny. I heard it on G's snapchat, she's no 2-stroke.

Love those things ! A mate had a black one with Boss cans, sounded raucous.
Lovely thing to ride, easy wheelies from 3rd gear and entertaining with the flexy frame, the side stand bar sticky out bit/thingy that you push with your boot, is a pain in the ass as they straighten out after time and grind the deck when your not expecting it. Pure fun ! :laughing: (y)

I have a serious Hadron collider for these and yours looks to be in great shape!
My first big bike was a curvy sv650s, loved it to death and I always fancied the bigger model lol.
Keep the pics coming, I still think one of these or the naked TL1000 would make a great addition to my garage at some point in life!
