As you may know I have a 04 Rsv1000r gen2 and I bloody love it but there's a problem. I have a previous neck break and I also have 2 collapsed disks in my mid lumber. Now the question is should I go fitting a high bar kit and chopping the top fairing of a nice clean 16,000ml bike? I really don't like the idea of doing it to a nice bike and I also think Gen1s look better with the high bar mod. So the other question is should I let her go for a Tuono or a Gen1?

Hi
Agree with Wolf! Just a couple of other things to consider! I have a couple of compressed discs in the lower back and own both an 07 Tuono and an 07 Suzuki SV1000s. I find the Suzuki even though I am leaning forward a lot more comfortable than the Tuono as I am not putting pressure straight down through the spine. The standard suspension on the tuono is not very forgiving either! Also what I have found and my mates when they have ridden the tuono is that the the rear seat presses against your lower back and can be annoying!! Note I am not tall!

I've got 2 prolapsed discs in my lower spine, knackered wrists, shoulders etc & was thinking of chopping mine in for a tuono but instead did a high bar conversion to my gen 1, now I can ride it all day :biggrin plus I get the advantage of not getting the wind blast to the head with the double bubble screen.

As has been said, deffo blag a go on a T before you start to pull your bike to bits.

If you are up for it, leave a post for brummy max...he usually has loads of spare Tuono parts

Thanks guys for all the advice, there's loads I've not even thought about. Nikfubar and Tifa thanks for the links, Dr_D I've rode the Shiver its nice but it's missing that punch. I can see me chopping her but buying a spare nose cone first. I don't know if I'm going to do long distances but I would like the ability to. Hmmm I think I need a test ride:roll
