i like an openface helmet worn with industrial sunglasses currently I have an airoh bought from an off road shop works great with no lift at speed

been on a great ride today 4 miles and never got out of second gear Estimated at over a thousand bikes ridden in convoy accros sheffield to the childrens hospital James Tosland at the front and police stopping traffic at the junctions and rounsabouts not very chalenging but a great atmosphere and it...

I have one fitted to a rockster.
My son rides on the back and finds it ok
its location does inpinge on seat space though. This was fine when he was smaller but I will have to fabricate something to move it back now he is getting bigger.

you can fit the wider tyre
but why?
IMHO the 170 handles better

Oil is cheep so change it often

I have got one of the MK1 carbtunes with the pot of murcury and have used it on loads of different bikes simple to set up and use has definatly paid for itself although I have had to make a couple of addapters to fit different carbs and yes you can definatly notice a difference when a bike is in bal...

by rock the box do you mean a box hill meet
if so sounds like a possibility

just check the speed rating on the tyre
but any dual purpose tyre will be good
but you need to match thr tyre to thr terrain and your riding
me i like metzlers

just to add my tip
I put the grips on with spraypaint
same idea but not being a girl i dont have hairspray!!! :-)

have you tried just rotating the bars in the clamps
a few degrees of rotation can make a differance

why not just move your feet back a little on the footpegs if your riding on your insteps with the heal of your boots up against the back of your footrest thenwhy not just add a packing piece to the back edge of your footrest. however for better control you should be riding with the balls of your fee...

I went with a top box and rear pad to rest against I found that with the Givi box and kit that works with the bmw side cases it reduces the space for the pillion and hence for the rider using a cheep chineese top box with the givi base plate solved the problem but the box is smaller and will only ho...

here in the Uk the rockster is usually cheeper than the std bike on the 2nd hand market but I like the quirky looks so that swung it for me IMHO The Ohlin shocks will be a great investment and worth paying extra for both bikes have luggage so no difference there and a top box is cheep The most signi...

sounds like a blown fuse or fuse with dirty contacts
when you connect the charger to the power port it feeds power to the opposit side of the blown fuse!

Hi you missed a realy good one on ebay last week in sheffield
sold for a steal at £3450 ref 230318086011

I would use celulose thinners on a rag to remove most of the aresol paint and finish off with T cut or a similar paint cutting compound and then wax polish

It has worked for me in the past

have you checked the basics
has the engine got fuel and sparks?
