Shum's Hornet - with sting

[Shum]

This won't be a great build thread as some of the others on here, just somewhere to show off the work I'll do to my bike over time.

Bout the bike Sept last year after a couple of years without a bike.

Its an '07 Honda Hornet 900, bought it stock and will slowly do a few modifications to change the looks of it.

When I first got it -

I removed the gear rack, fitted LED indicators to the front and replace the taillight with an LED integrated brake/indicator unit -

Removed the "Hornet 900" stickers from the tail and put a bit of 'sting' on the tail -

And just today I fitted a set a 7/8" mx bars. Huge difference!

Welcome mate. I used to own a Hornet 600 about 8 years ago, was a great little bike.

A website that I had found usefull back then was the Hornet's Nest. I know it's still going but have no idea how active it is or isn't. Website is > http://www.hondahornet.co.uk/

Cheers wacky, I first came across that site when I had my first bike, ironically a '97 Hornet 250

Mildura? Do you live there? Oh, and welcome aboard mate.

Welcome in shum. Nice lookin bikes, those hornets are. A nice little digital gauge would look great on there compared to the standard clocks. Have you got a pic of the integrated rear light?

It's not parked.

It's been left in readiness to repel the nippon hordes like all the other stuff in parks and RSLs around the country.

You fucking vandals should be and will be shot if ever the gook hordes invade my fine land and those PZKPF mkXIIs don't work when needed.

[Redmohawk]
