Windscreen should be simple, just unbolt the old one and bolt on the new one. It has nothing to do with your turn signals.

Why are you planning on taking off the rear fender? And most of those connections should be plug and play, which is to say it'll be similar to a electrical plug, mine is at any rate. Worst comes to worst all you have to do is label the wires when you clip them then use a either electrical tape or some of those quick connect fusings to patch the wires back up. There are a bunch of guides in the tech section of the forums.

And I know you can operate a wrench.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

they said i need to remove my mirrors before i can put the new screen. and since my turn signals are in my mirrors. there's my problem.

i'll check and see the tech forums. thanks.

Dude, you actually make that bike look proportionally nice. I get on a sporty and feel like a circus bear on a tiny bicycle. I'm not a huge guy, but they feel so small.

Looking good, just be careful with that throttle.

To me it looks like the bike is a bit big for him (physical size).

A lot of leftover space there. Is that for a pillion?
Have fun on the open /¦\

I think it's a good size fit. But then again, I like the looks of busa's and the new Kaw ZX-14 because they are bigger.

I believe that space back there is for sliding the butt back when the rider gets fully tucked.

Gratz on the 1000. I guess youve done well for a beginner on a liter bike.
Get about 10k miles more and maybe we will stop worrying about you killing yourself. :wink:

I tell ya, Suzuki sure knows how to make a pretty bike...(imho)

Me = Green with envy!

Congrats on the 1000 with the 1000!

A few questions for ya...

How tall/how much do you weigh (getting a size comparison)?

What gear are you wearing (looks like an RF-1000 helmet and firstgear jacket, but I cant' tell)?

Who's the photographer?

Congrats! - that's more miles than I've rode since November when the relentless rain started around here. It's finally starting to feel like spring might show up after all. Nice looking bike - however, looking at your back in the pic above I can tell that a. you're 20 years younger than me and b. I probably won't be getting a sport bike anytime soon. I'm not sitting like that for an extended period unless I'm getting paid! Keep riding safe.
