Hi all,
Just joined up but brought my bike back in August. I never thought I would join a forum but have been having a look over the last couple of months & thought I'd join in. A bit computer illiterate but will slowly work it out.
My bike is a 2010 fa & the common thing seems to be the smile it puts on your face. I Love it!!
I have managed to put about 8000 clicks on it which has been great.
Not really into all the mods, although I'm open to the possibility of that changing.
When I bought It, It already had Givi Panniers & Top Box, & a Tank Protector
All I have added so far are a Rad Guard, Heated Grips, Headlight protector, Lambswool Seat Cover, & K&N Air Filter. ( All the important stuff )
I will try to put a picture on when I work out how.

Hi Chief and welcome aboard. The search box is a good place to learn things like posting pics. This really is a great site for learning and maybe meeting up with fellow Bandit owners. Enjoy.

Thanks for the welcome gents.

Here are 2 photos ( I think ) as promised. Smile

Madmax, A muffler is definitely on the list. Just need clearance from my Chief Financial Officer ( Unlikely at this stage ) Evil or Very Mad

Reardo, I just did the filter. Slowly working it out as i go. The Snorkel is still there.

Baz, No naval connection..

To explain,

I am A.K.A Paul. Yes, another one, so on this forum, I decided to go with Chief, which I have been known as from time to time.

'CHIEF' comes from a character on 'The Simpsons' ( Which I don't watch ) "Chief Wiggam", apparently!!

My surname is similar, hence 'Chief'

Hammy, In MY house at least, I like to consider myself as 'THE CHIEF'. I have 4 Indians. 1 Large & 3 small. ( I don't think the missus will ever frequent this forum, so I SHOULD be safe) lol!

Hope this clears it up!!!
