Can you fit crash bungs to a Fazer 600 S2? There doesn't seem to be a place to mount them, as the frame ends halfway down, then the motor hangs from there (if that makes sense). Jon.

I reached the first little milestone in my young road riding career (100 miles). I marked the occasion by running out of fuel. I was lucky to be at a parking lot where I coasted in, to switch the tank to reserve. and fired her back up. Incidently, I was on my way to get fuel, my first ride in moderate traffic.

Today in Chatham, Ontario Canada the temperat…

Last week I bought an AGV S-4 helmet. It cost a load of money so I was expecting it to be good quality.

Has anyone else encountered this problem or found a fix. I would advise anyone considering buying a helmet to avoid the S4 as the problem may be generic. I feel sick having wasted £130. The visor on my previous lid (Box cheapo cheapo) never c…
