First improvement I made was a larger screen. Tastes vary but I now have a Biondi. Also a rear rack proved useful when carrying a tent but I'm sure other items could fit just as well should the under-seat storage not be enough.

Not sure if your model has the cigarette lighter/power point as standard, but worth fitting if your phone doesn't hold charge well or you want to use a Satnav.

I also have an Athena variator, offers better acceleration. And, should Motad pull their F...ing finger out, a new Motad Venom pipe...been on order for 5 weeks now!!! I used to have the LeoVnce 4Road fitted for the past 10 years. Doesn't offer much more power but doesn't rust, weighs less and far cheaper than the OE....plus I like the sound!

Heated grips are good if you want to ride over the winter, I keep meaning to fit some but make do with some Bagster handlebar muffs, which have the advantage of keeping the windchill and rain off as well.

My burgman comes equipped with heated grips already & a top box.

I am quite interested in the tall screen option & Dr. Pulley sliders. However google has yet to reveal places to get them in the UK

Guessing these aren't the right size for the B400, but maybe worth asking them for the ones you need?

So i went to RAF Fairford for the Tattoo yesterday. And coming back, i got 12 miles from home and this happened

I didn't know about it until i got home. But i could feel something rattling, and it would appear that the only thing keeping it up is the centre stand.

I have only had the bike 3 weeks, and up to now had to have the front wheel re-balanced and the pass light fixed.

And now this. All at my expense. I have checked the dealers 30 day warranty which does not include the exhaust.

Is there anything i can do with regards to fixing the exhaust & this dealer?

Update:

Took my bike to local shop today, they said the bracket was un-weldable. And they were unable to order a genuine suzuki exhaust, so they have ordered in the LeoVince 4 Road exhaust i was considering getting next month anyway.

So that just leaves getting the Dr. Pulley sliders next (and hoping nothing else goes wrong with the bike)
