I just realised I should probably post a g'day in here, seeing that I'm in South Ozland.

Just bought a 2008 Breva, 12,000 kms, fitted with Guzzi panniers, (large)topbox, centrestand, heated grips, screen, crash bars, KAOKO throttle lock and a pair of Trailtech HID lights. Not much farkling left for me to do :lol: .
I've ordered a bigger screen from Eagle Screens, and that's about it. Only real problem I've got is that I can't find anywhere to mount my twin airhorns.

(I traded my 2008 Triumph Tiger 1050 on it. A bit sad, but the Tiger was just too tall and top-heavy for me. At least I've still got my Bonnie).

Now I've just got to figure out what sort of software I need to access the ECU for diagnostics and tuning.
 
Thanks Tod, I'll keep it in mind, although I've never been one for getting more speed/power out of my bikes. Our speed limits are either 100 kms/hr or 110 on the freeways, and the police here, regardless of the State, are extremely over-zealous in their application of the law regarding speeding!!!!

So far, within these constraints, I've found that a 1200 cc twin has more than enough power, and the stock ride and comfort is better than the Tiger (and that had modified suspension).

Running cooler, however, is something to think about.
