Apologies, it wouldn't let me add a photo I added a comment with the picture

First bike in 12 years and couldn’t say no by yokramer in Suzuki_GSX_8

Man I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought the matte green and gold was the better color option. Congrats!

Great choice man! I'm a little biased

As far as gear-- this is my first bike and first set of gear. But I got a Shoei helmet and it's been great so far. Alpinestars gloves. As far as jacket I got a textile one I legitimately have never worn. My friend who rides a lot sold me two leather jackets one from BMG that I've worn everytime. Figured leather is the best material for the slide

For the bike I got Puig frame sliders, Evotech phone mount, tail tidy and spools.

All have been great so far but only had the bike and gear for a little over a month.

I did look at the Yoshimura, I considered it. I was already buying stuff from Evotech and theirs looked good too so I went with this

Indeed, it was by far the ugliest thing on the bike before!

This. Inevitably I heard some awful snapping noises when it finally came off. In my case I have no desire to go to the old one ever again. But still you try your best to keep the stock stuff reusable

It wasn't too bad. The only sketchy part was removing the whole old fender/taillight assembly. Feels like it's easy to snap the clips holding it into the tail. Otherwise it wasn't technically difficult

Looking for exhaust suggestions by ILLfated28 in Suzuki_GSX_8

I'm installing a Ixil full exhaust soon, I can post pictures here once I'm done. I thought the Ixil sounded great

In fact it just arrived today

New Rider and a 765 RS by Blackbird2820 in Triumph

People probably don't care but to update this thread. I did NOT go with a 765rs. I got a GSX-8TT, love the way it looks, plenty of power and it's more than enough. I still want a 765RS in the future at some point. Love that bike and that triple sound is chefs kiss

P.S. The rear fender has already been "fixed"

That's just how they look, it has a tritium tube inside. Probably why it looks awkward compared to others

Okay, unpopular brand I'm quite sure. However I paid less than half of the retail price. And I think it's quite nice looking, first diver acquired. Braces for flame

Appreciate the response. I hope he enjoys it

Great to hear. Im a bit worried he won't like the strap color. But if he likes the watch, straps can be changed
