    Cool The Turtle slowly marches in..hurrah..hurrah

    Morning Gents and Gentettes,

    I'm a Turtle from Ashfield, Sydney. I was coaxed here by a friend of mine and now you're stuck with me.
    I don't take up much room, and quite easily survive on Mother and sausage rolls.

    Here's my bike. Yes it's a *censored*, but it's mine and it was cheap, and I do things and stuff to it. Yuy!

    Started life as a 2010 GT650, and the changes so far include:

    - Belly pan
    - Oxford Hot Grips
    - Clip-ons from a GTR
    - Ferodo HH brake pads
    - DIY hackjob tail tidy
    - ZX6R Yoshi RS3 slip on
    - Dropped a tooth on front
    - Renthal Quad-Stake chain
    - Braided lines front & back
    - Bandit 1200 shock conversion
    - Replaced Reg/Rec, Stator, Water Pump
    - Stomp grip tank pads & tank protector
    - Adjustable rear sets taken from a GTR
    - K&N High Flow air filter from a 90's car cut to shape
    - Top Triple from a GTR which required some grinding and stuff to allow the dash to attach

    Yeah I found a way to change out the rear shock without any grinding or modifying so I posted up a thingy over there. Got a few people doing it now too.

    As for the tail, I love it. There are a couple rear seat cowls around but they all look like ratshit. Thinking I might have to make my own.

    Ah she goes well for what she is. Just need to look after them well. The reg/rec dies every 5-6 months though guaranteed. Ive had the bike 14 months and im on my third reg.

    I've got a K4 Gixxer 600 track bike to even out the right/wrong balance.
