They don't shrink, you have to resize them yourself. 640x480 is the max, the width is the real issue because the default theme for the forum is that narrow. If you change to the alternative theme you can see more of the picture because it uses the screen's full width and stretches beyond it to show the full pic. Even on this theme your pics are a tad oversize :) Looking good  :thumb:

:haha: There was me thinking you had taken some really arty farty pics of only bits of the bike ALA Suzuki's elongated release of the new Strom pics, but had to switch to AeroBlue theme to see it - back to normal now, me no likey alternative theme!!! :-x

Looks mighty fine when you can see more of it! Loving the white tank decals against the black.

Keep it shiny side up!!!

err same for me... pics elongated and difficult to see all. this is on 19" vdu???

btw (sorry for complete ignorance) is this the NEW V strom (ie the 2012 model even though its out now) or the 'old one'?
Reason I ask - is notiice you have  brsuh guards, heated grips and (I think) engine bars) - I was told they are NOT in stock in the uk yet....?

What's that theme called? I think Andy would add it if we wanted to have it as an alternative to use.
