Hello Salami,

Another Dutch TDM owner/driver is always nice to see here.

There is also a Dutch section under other languages. (als je in Nederlands wil typen) tongue.gif

Edit: I use Osram night breakers, give more light but still not perfect.
Take a look at Trakiotis post here Linky he made a nice modification and got lots of light it seem.

Hallo Mark! tongue.gif
Let´s continue in English, I haven´t been in the Dutch section yet, will take a look later. The Trakiotis mod is what I have in mind. That´s the reason I´m looking for another headlight, to use for this modification, without the risk of damaging the original one rolleyes.gif

You can use http://www.photobucket.com in the meantime, just don't move the photo to a new folder, rename it etc.
Otherwise it will vanish from the post.

There is an exploded view of the Givi fitting kit somewhere on here. If you see an ebay advert for 2nd hand fitting kit make sure it includes the cross brace type bit what is often forgotten/not removed

Hi every one, this is my first post, I bought my TDM last summer its a 3vd7 model in dark violet, its fitted with heated grips, scott oiler, mini indicators and higher screen it sports a personalised reg No ***TDM, goes well and is a soft comfortable ride, I can't ride "sports" bikes due to several spinal problems and find the riding position ideal (for a old man). I'm based in south yorkshire and use my bikes for pleasure and riding to work ( I even class the ride to work as pleasure).

I'll try to post a piccy but it may have to wait until tomorrow when son and daughter in law come around, if they can't help I'll manage somehow, I've only recently learnt to e-mail photos and that takes me quite a while so please be patient.

Hello everyone,
I registered some time ago but had some troubles with validation, so today I decided to email staff and my problem had been resolved quickly smile.gif Thanks a lot dapleb.

So, I am in a process of looking for a bike and my heart says it has to be a TDM. Unfortunately there are not many on eBay/AutoTrader (around ~£1200) so I thought I'll register here and keep my eye on For Sale section. I probably won't post hundreds of posts weekly, but it would be rude not to introduce myself.
