Hi all. Im Shane. A 47yr old 6'4"104kg north queenslander about to buy a VTR for some commuting and general riding. Looking at a stock 2004 with about 70k. Will be doiing my own mechanical work and am a keen modifyer. With my height I will be very interested in suspension and ride set up mods. Any help or suggestions greatly accepted. I have done some reading on basic issues etc but it looks like mechanical issues shouldnt be an issue with this sort of km neccecarily. Peg drop, seat mods, handlebar riser mods etc are of interest first up. Will check out CC tensioner etc. Buying bike from down south so wont see it in the flesh until it gets here via transport. Any tips with that welcomed too. Hoping to have it ready to ship next week. Looing forward to being part of the forum. Cheers. Shane.

Welcome mate,
I lived in Yepoon for a while and had my VTR up there with me.
One of the best things about the VTR is that it takes to mods kindly.
Be very careful though, I am still tinkering with mine after 6 years.
Post up some pics when you get her.
Cheers!
P.S Feel free to ask the forum for tips as you get your bike set up.
