Welcome SPCK111 to the best SWing site on the net. That's a nice looking SWing you have. I know you'll get many fun years out of it.

Hi SPCK111, from another owner from the SE of the UK, Selsdon near Croydon, more precisely. Often ride out with another local mate from Crawley, so I am guessing you are not so far afield. Both of us are new to Swings, Ray having come from an ST1300 and I have a Goldwing and a Pan European too.
Maybe catch you around sometime.
Cheers,
Pete

Welcome, to the best Swing forum, So much good stuff on here it will take you months to absorb it all.

In all my 55 years of riding, I am totally sold on my SW. It is the most comfortable touring bike I have owned. Previous bikes have owned ST1100 and last one ST1300 + many more.
I am looking forward to traveling down the Burt Munro (the worlds fastest Indian) rally next Feb. That will take me at least 3 days to get there. Both my sons who also ride bikes are joining me on the trip. Yea.
Only 2 mods to the bike. I added and extra 100mm to the front screen height. Wow what a difference. Also added an hi stop/indicator unit to the back of my helmet, blue tooth controlled from the bike. Be safe. be seen.

Just so you know. Wink

Hello from South Dakota, USA. I know you’ll like the SW. it’s a blast to ride. I just had new tires and drive belt put on mine so it’s ready for a few miles. Plan on making a trip to the Black Hills before it turns too much colder. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for all the reply’s Smile

. It’s going back tomorrow for a minor oil leak from somewhere dripping down by the oil drain plug. Two fork seal dust seals and a funny honk type noise when I sharply open the throttle at about 30mph, sounds like a duck in the drive. Lol. All under warranty. Yeaaaaa
