Hi Guy's, just joined the forum so just a quick message to say hello.
Picked up my XSR 700 at the start of the year (2018) - got my full licence back in Oct 2017 so it's my first 'big bike'.
Rode a Dragstar 125 for a couple of years before that so the XSR is quite a change.
After being used to the super low stance of the Dragstar and not having the longest legs I've had to do a couple of tweaks to the suspension - 25mm lowering kit and a custom seat have all helped to get my feet flat to the ground. (still considering a dropping it lower ground clearance willing)
Haven't done much in the way of customising it yet - new seat as mentioned and some mirrors.
Would like to get a tail tidy at one point and perhaps change the handle bars ( have some questions for you guys re handlebars)
So that's me so far.
Regards
Gabe
