Thats what i call showroom condition, to be very frank the bikes parked in my showroom dont even look as good as your bike. Hats off to you sir.

I am drooling!
Thats a nice ride manson!

Hey I cant see the pics...

Hey Manson,
Pardon my ignorance but what is a stomp grip? Whats its use?
And thats one heck of a bike, the 954 has always been one of my fav bikes.

Cheers

Just mentioned that to the 954, and it seemed to be running a shade better through the short spin I just got back from

Thanks Bandhav. The 954 however is long due for a detailed wash & wax job, so I guess going by your above compliment, the pictures are just being a little too sweet to me for now!

Thanks for the good words guys, appreciate it.


I do not fall in this category just yet, but the primrary use of the extra grip from the Stomp grips is at time of hanging off the bike whilst cornering. Imagine hanging off the bike with the knee on a well finished painted surface, and imagine doing the same while having your knee in contact on a grippy surface.
At time of hard braking, one tends to lose grip on the knees (on either side of the tank), and slip ahead due to the smooth finished surface of the tank. The Stomp grip lets you grip your knees on both sidesof the tank which effectively provides more body control at times of heavy braking, etc.
Another intended use for me is to avoid squishing my jewels everytime through a bump en route a city commute.
Just bumped into someone a while back who indicated that the Stomp would even assist at time of slow riding through heavy traffic which usually makes most of the surface on both sides of the bike reasonably hot.

Hope this helps, for more details you could possibly try searching for the same on google.

That is because there aren't any on the first few pages. I'm sure you can now see atleast a handful on this and the previous page

A couple of more additions
Picture 1: New Harris grips

Picture 2 & 3: Swingarm spools

Picture 4: Not mine, but what do you guys think of the high mount Devil exhaust?

I am huge fan of underseat exhaust. I think external exhausts are for hypers, tourers and cruisers...my personal opinion

Thanks mate! Every little helps

Cheers

I am not very sure what kind of change that Devil high mount exhaust will bring to the plate but aesthetically its seem just out of place IMO.

Ash, the high mount isn't exactly an underseat exhaust. It is pretty much at the same height of how an underseat pipe is, but is an external unit like a conventional exhaust.

Exactly what Bladerunner though of it as well when I was getting a great deal on one of those. For me it was more about the throaty devil sound.
Yet to hear a better sounding (not always louder) bike than the 600 rr with a devil slipon in my building. Our resident two bros man also vouches for that particular pipe.

@Manson: What are "swingarm spools", and what is the function?

P.S: Your machine looks gorgeous. It is pretty evident how much you take care of the 954.

That's Anku on the other 954? correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks Aryan. The black round objects you see on either side of the swingarm in the last set of pictures as swingarm spools which basically protect the swingarm in the unfortunate event of a fall, and are even used to hike the motorcycle on a race stand.
The most common use is lubing the chain on a race stand.

Anthony, yeah thats Anku!
