I picked up a bike specific HID kit just before Christmas... Longer life, less power usage, much less heat and no filament to get damaged... And of course much, much brighter! I'll be installing in a couple of weeks so we shall see what the difference is like. First, I need to pick up a new RHS oil ...

I got a set of the Wunderlich bars a few months ago, they seem very good. Nice looking and well engineered. They were a bit of a PITA to install though...

Oops, didn't realise I was comitting sacrilege! I think I could probably grow to love the beak... might take a while though! Tbh, I was seduced by the wunderlich bits catalogue. Maybe after riding around for a while I won't mind anymore ... :) Hawkman, as far as I can tell, the mounting system is di...

Hi all, been lurking for a few months now, but thought I'd say hi now I've made the commitment! After research and reading here a lot of owner's experiences with this bike, I finally put a deposit down on an 03 R1150R with 7,100 miles on the clock and a heap of extras :D Picking her up 1st of June h...

I've got the Bike Barn folding cover it's been great at keeping the Irish weather off my bike. It's a very good piece of kit, but if you can fit a shed, I'd go for that instead. If not, it's a great alternative!

just google bikebarn to check it out.
