Hello from another noob...
« on: February 22, 2018, 15:25:30 »
Hello all,

I've just found you. So thought I'd join and see what info I can glean  :lala:

I'm an ex-SV650S owner & KTM 950 SM owner (although the less said about that the better).

This September I picked up a brand spanking new  V-Strom 1000, however, I've only just covered 1000 miles on it (I know... Must try harder  :roll:) I have fitted heated grips (Oxford), a set of Suzuki's own crash bars, fitted a Delkavic DL10 350mm round carbon can and upgraded the horn to a Denali SoundBOMB... That's it (so far...)

I'm looking to upgrade the headlights and sidelights to LED's, so if anyone has already done this and can help me out with any links, that would be great.

I'm also an ex-SV650.org member, so in anyone remembers me from there, please come & say 'Hi'  :)
