Just got my new(secondhand) Wee Strom home. Absolutely love it.
They are fun. I got one in February. Watch out for the "farkle" disease though You will soon find yourself browsing all the accessories. Enjoy!
Had a guy look at the blackbird today and he seems pretty keen. Another guy coming to look at the VTR tomorrow. Only a matter of time. Looks like we are taking it to Pemberton on the weekend for a test run. Fraser
It's already started. It's got a top box, bark busters and engine crash bars. Looking at moving the oil cooler and getting some hard panniers on it next. Fraser
I've added crash/engine bars, bash plate and madstad adjustable screen bracket. Also a top box made from a $10 plastic recycling box. Hey, I was on domestic credit hold at the time :-| I though about moving the oil cooler, but decided that the bash plate gave it enough protection. Hard panniers would be nice, but the $1k-odd for brackets and panniers makes it a big decision. David

Bash plate is also on the list. The panniers I am looking at are 36 litre pelican cases. Looks like I can do the whole lot for about $600 on amazon. Fraser
I'm having enough fun with my 4 year old son who the other day told me "I want a spiderman motorbike". Fraser
I'll post it up once I can dig it out again. Basically the boxes from amazon are about $150 each and the bracket is from a place I can't find at the moment. Got the links orginally from stromtroopers iirc. Fraser
I got my crash/engine bars and bash plate from these folks: http://www.motorcycleadventure.com.au and was considering the H&B pannier racks from them as well, at $331. $331 + 2 x $150 is about the $600 mark you mentioned. OK, it is $31 more, but it is close
Here is a link for the cheap case solution. http://www.stromtrooper.com/showthread.php?t=21211 Fraser
