Martin,

Do consider getting some/all of the accessories at the time you purchase the
bike, as they are likely to give you a discount.  The people in the
accessories department of my dealer told my they'd 'work with me' (probably
at least 10% off) on the accessories because they knew I was buying the bike
from them..

For my money, the heated grips are essential. I've ridden for many years on
'standard bikes' ---- then I got my hands on a Beemer during an Edelweiss
tour, that had heated grips ----- I'll never go back.  It didn't matter how
friggin' cold it became, if my hands stayed warm, I was able to ride with
much less trepidation because my coordination was intact.   I'm ordering the
CF tank protector and the rear hugger for long term maintenance reasons
(read: protect the finish and the suspension) ---- if Eric can help you I'd
definitely invest in the Invincashield clear plastic from 3M to protect your
finish (especially the side panels on the gas tank where your knees will
buff the paint to a nice dull roar in no time).

Hope that helps,  Lance

Hi Folks,

I've just made a deal with my local dealer, Pxing my Suzuki TL1000S for a
new ST and want to be sure that all the necessary mods are done before I
collect it. What was the problem with the side stand and how can I determine
if I've got the new parts? Also, what accessories are worth going for and
what should I ignore?

What colour did I go for? It had to be black after a lovely young (10 ish)
lady in the shop assured me that the black one looked "Meaner"

I think the problems have been well covered, erratic gas gauge, sidestand
recall, recall for case bolts, availability of optional accessories.
