Hmm....you're stronger than I am.....I'm taking delivery of an S1000R this week with DDC and DTC.

I've upped my life insurance and booked my permagrin!

Well it should be all settled this week.....

1. Rockster appears to have a new owner from Thursday
2. S1000R will then be collected on Friday......I may be chomping at the bit a little if it arrives, say, today.......

If I trade, I may well strip it back.

What are you after? I am in south London early July with the car.....

After 9 years of ownership from new, I've taken the difficult decision to kiss goodbye to my Rockster. I'm also kissing goodbye to shaft drive and hello to chain again :shock: But I am not leaving BMW.....I just ordered an S1000R with DTC and DDC. I nearly pissed my pants on the test ride, it's so d...

not bad bar the fact I have to get the baby oil out again and reseat them...!

RB, I assume you cottoned onto the fact that it's the choke assembly.....

sounds like a real pain the backside.....it's due in the shop for them to fix some of their repairs so I'll ask there. I can see it all going walkabout if I do it.....!

My CHOKE/fast idle has recently been very hard to close off but now it's become easy....sadly the reason is that the position 1 does not actually do anything any more. So to start it, I have to put the thing into position 2 and hold it. What do the more learned members thing it could be? Cable? Swit...

Handguards and Wunderlich screen - plus only 3k on it. Nice!

so I'm still awaiting the return of my bike - they're awaiting a replacement Laser Titanium can. I may have to fit it myself so I can have my bike back before Christmas.....or tell them to get a similar car from Akrapovic etc. The good news is that the frame and suspension are not bent. So the damag...

So it survived! Allegedly without frame and suspension damage so it's cosmetic fixes only....! But still costing nearly 60% of the bike's present value.....

gut feeling, RB, is it's an improvement. More light, better colour for night reading. I'll confirm.....and I have a spare set I could let you have. That's most kind of you! But personally I'd just keep them as spares if I were you. :) that's a shame, I had them pencilled in as your wedding present!...

looks nice, lights up the clock in blue too. If they don't light up, turn 'em round!

pics to follow once it's dark.

look great, you've made me shop!

When I said this month in June, I really meant this month in July

eBay delivery from China is not the quickest

MEZ6 on at the moment, wear is excellent and grip is excellent. OE were BT012s.

I'd be tempted with Road Pilot 3s next time.

Baffle out + earplugs would be my solution. Mind you, I run the same Laser slip-on and have the street-legal baffle in....

I just ordered some T5 bulbs from ebay for a quid per pack. One of 2 and one of 10.

From the measurements, it looks like they will fit. I am one bulb down so I can test bulbs by just pulling the beak off

News later this month when they arrive.....
