After deliberating over changing from Gen I to Gen II, I finally made the judgement call last Sept to upgrade. The emotion of giving up what you personalize, even if it's not the best bike on the block, was hard to fight. We waited 6 weeks from order to delivery of the new K9. From there it has been a wait for one thing after another, but finally after 6 months and 8,500kms from delivery I think I've got the new one personalized to a point of suitable replacement?? (Until the next idea comes along)
Thanx to those of you here on the board who have contributed to the process in the supply of goodies, I'm loving the end result. Ray - The wheels are just looooovely!. Braddo - Thanx mate, I stole one of your idea's last weekend. Some of you other guys, you've also added and thanx.
i understand what your saying,once you,ve extensively personalised your bike its hard to update to a new stock bike.mine was too far gone to changeover and i,m happy with the results.The wheels look great,i,d be interested in your feedback on how a gen2 steers with light wheels up into the triple digits zone.I found they steer very stable but quite heavy at speed compared to mine,i,m wondering if its the wheels or the rotors being 5mm further apart than a gen1??Gee dude,light wheels,light pipe,I wonder if they do a light tank for one.I know what difference that can all make to a gen1,a gen2 steers better already,you must be smilin every time you tip it into a corner.
