    Stealership nightmare ii

    Why not simply pop clip off, remove master link and stop in to see them - asking they check their rivetinmg tool - as it appears somwhat flawed ... you could then use said link to in some way enforce your frustration and lack of satisfaction ... should be able to pick up a service manager by the...

    New front fender...

    There are two brake line supports that secure the feed to the second brake caliper - they simply unclip out of the fender, and back into the new one. The other retainer, which secures the primary feed from the master cyclinder down to the first calipers in the circuit is indeed, as you rightly...

    Cleaning stainless steel

    I use Mothers metal polish on my Yoshi RS can,s doesn't require too much elbow grease, just a little patience and plenty of circular motions :-) Wal Mart or pretty much any hardware store seems to stock it.

    What to expect and what to look out for?

    Well it's worst time of year to be buying in blighty - everyone has the bug and wants to enjoy the week of sunshine that is summer. So costs of used kit goes up accordingly. Wait till December if you can when a few months of rain will have resigned most rides to garages and sheds, and the...

    Fork sliders

    Price sounds even better than I paid for my last set when I picked them up. A veritable bargain. I'd also highly rate their frame / fairing protectors - solid items. I got a pair free back when I had my 02 blade as they were the first set to be produced and my bike was the prototype rig.... in...

    Fork sliders

    I've used R&G products on my last 4 bikes all across their range from the can shields to the frame protectors and swing arm bobbins. I had the fork protectors on my last Gixer1K and whilst I never had need to call upon them, they looked tidy enough to reside on the bike and instill at least some...

    My fellow Americans.....

    Well let's hoep they get the backlog cleared as my 16:00 flight out of London Heathrow tomorrow is all that stands between me being reunited with my Busa babey. And to know I have a TRE and HID kit arrived and waiting my attentions is only making the potential for delay more frustrating. I'm...

    Mirror mod...

    Excellent advice cheers Brendan. I'd been considering a hot air device to heat the plastic without direct flame. The painted items look superb btw.

    Mirror mod...

    Any pointers or links on how to remove the glass in the first place? Wanted to try an idea with signals in the mirror glasses / as well perhaps as brake lights. Need to grab some old units to maul but any advise on procedures for disassembly without trashing the glass would be most welcome

    Best rear wheel lift

    I love my Abba Stand - makes work on front or rear end a breeze without any assistance or concerns over things toppling. http://www.abbastands.co.uk/

    Brakes

    I run the EBC HH variants - difference over OEM was night and day - could not dream of going back to factory pads after such a simple transformation. Just got to get used to the constant "wizz" sound they produce, which is a small price for such a leap in stopping capabilites.

    Riding boots

    I like some of the Alpine stars, though find them to be a little mishaped to my calf. I've on my second pair of Daytonas, and though they're expensive, I truly believe they can't be beaten for protection and fit on the bike. Almost bullet proof inner carcass, ankle protection second to none...

    Lowering bike

    For rear I'd recommend the following sequence: Remove rear belly pan plastic (4 allen head securing bolts, all accessed from beneath bike) Remove exhaust midpipe and muffler assembly each side. (this is optional, but allows far more access and leverage to get a stright socket on the dog...
