    The FZ6 is a great first bike, the Street will moves things on a bit though as I am sure you're finding.
    Not sure why you're having an issue on i-phone, I use Safari on my i-phone 6 and don't have any issues uploading photos from it, could just be the internet connection speed that's causing the issue?

    Yes the fz6 suspension was very soft and really struggled when pushing on. My friend owned a 765 RS and let me have a quick go I got the triumph bug!

    Adam tbh I can’t take credit for much as most extras was fitted already when I bought it, I have recently added a proper rad and oil cooler guard from Evotech after reading a recommendation from a member on this fine forum. It looks way better than it did with the universal silver guard. Next on the cards is levers and upgrading the stock H4’s to led if I can get a set that fits to my liking. I’ve started to give up hope to import bits as we seldom get our packages due to poor infrastructure over here. I’ve now subscribed to Aramex (freight forwarder) and got my first order delivered to my door in record time, guess I can carry on again. If the mods were mine I’d have to go with the Arrow system followed by the bar end mirrors as favorites. What are you planning to do first?

    My bike is totally stock apart from a R and G tail tidy. I want to add a little bit of crash protection first. Then it will be exhaust or new tyres. I like the look of the SC project Conic or Remus hyper cone. Arrow seems nice but I want mine to be loud :imp:
    Been looking on here to find a used bargain but most the ads are out of date :(
    Keep me posted how you get on with the bulbs :cool:
