The rubber on the footrest appears to be coming away from the metal part at the end.

Must be where the passenger has caught it. Is it repairable or a new one needed.

Thanks Bob

Hi...had not loaded it with anything.Just took a test ride to make sure it was secure. To be honest not sure when they appeared maybe when I had the 28 litre one on. Loaded it with overnite bag when we took overnite trip to Scotland. Has not got any worse suppose you can buy a new plate, at a price....

I have bought the gps cable..does it have live and neutral marked on the wires dont want to wire it the wrong way round
Re the active mount draining the battery,can you remove the tom tom cable that goes into the dock
Thus remove he mount from the bike

Thanks for all your advice.

Cheers bob

Hi, I have just bought a Tom Tom Urban rider,it does not have the active mount. If I was to buy the active mount which is the best way to wire it up.I believe there is a connector in front of the tank which you can use. There is a connector you can buy from Nippy Normans which you can plug in,but ho...

Thanks for the info guys.

Hi,I was thinking about the street C-Bow softbags.my pillion would struggle to get on the bike with the bmw hard panniers.so they might be a alternative I have the bmw pannier rails fitted to my bike. I don't know how they would fit as the info is a bit vague.also they have not been out long enough ...

The website for the panniers is Moto 24 here in the uk.
not sure how to post links sorry about that.

Cheers Bob

Hi Guys,anybody got any info on these new panners from Krauser.
Can't seem to find any product reviews maybe because they have not been out long.
Here in the uk they are priced at £239 or thereabouts.
There is a website called motolegends which sell them.but info is a bit vague.

Cheers Bob

Hi Guys,

I have fitted barkbusters hand guards to my 08 R1200R,

Great buy, very easy to fit and a reasonable price.excellent bit of kit.

Hope that helps

Cheers Bob

Thats a shame its a great car!!


bob

I can only work on u.k gallons...come on you have got to admit 64 mpg is pretty impressive for a biggish car with 180 bhp....if motorcycle companies put there minds to it you could have better mpg with good performance figures..don't really know price of fuel in U.S but here it is over £6 a gallon!!...

Not really,even petrol cars here in the U.K can achieve well over 50 mpg

Cheers Bob

the best I have achieved on my R is 58 mpg...

Just a thought i have a BMW 3 series 320d, yesterday on a run from Bournemouth to Newcastle (356m) i achieved 64 mpg.

Whay can't bike companies make a bike with similar or better M.pg
