Hi all Just giving my Ace a good going over and one of my jobs was to get all the crud and surface rust off my exhaust system and give it a good spray to keep any more corrosion at bay. Having just stripped out the exup valve and given that a good decoke and polish, imagine my disheartenment when the wire attachment on my drill just uncoverded a 3mm hole in one of my downpipes. So I wondered if anyone of you chaps knew if somewhere like racefit et al did new systems that kept the exup valve? Failing that, i'll have to finish getting the worst off and see how much of it needs welding.

Hi everyone, I have a 1998 Thunderace with a 3 bolt end can. I want to replace it for an after market one. There isnt a lot on ebay for these so was just wondering nif there were any other bikes out there with the same fixings to broaden my search. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone ordered from D&D graphics before? I ordered a kit 22 days ago and it still isn't here! Has anyone ever had any trouble with them, and has anyone got a phone number for them? Have emailed them but no reply, the owner is "Beanie" from the CRM250 forum.

My mate and I decided to have a bimble around the Lincolnshire wolds today as it is so picturesque in the sun. We took all the back roads which are pretty narrow and occasionally get stuck behind the odd tractor moving from field to field....but today it was 40 of them in a convoy! After following them for a couple of miles we decided to stop and have a drink and a smoke to let them get off the road. We then set off again and took our intended route turning left at a cross roads and right into the back end of the convoy again! this happened twice before we finally got past them all! ~We found out later that they were all going to a show two villages over. Luckily were we…

Well a few weeks ago i was reading BSH and seen a lot of very nice bikes (as you do) and in one of them spotted a 650 Draggy bobber that the bloke had basically just took the rear mud gaurd off and stuck on a set of different bars on it, its now for sale on Ebay and he's giving it the beans with saying its fully custom made etc etc which is great for him and im sure he will sell it as it was a nice bike. Now, it got me thinking If he was able to get a pretty much stock bike (bar a few bits taken off it) into BSH could i get Betty in that mag? Well after e-mailing BSH and attached a couple of photos i just got a short and sweet e-mail back from the editor sayi…

Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this. I have and XVS650 Drag Star and I need to find a replacement rubber bung (not sure of the correct term) that the screws for the speedometer screw into. Thanks

Just bought it, love it. But I know with most bikes/cars several years of a model's parts might fit it. i.e. mine's a 99, what other years will fit? I'm wanting it black, but I think I might be better off just to buy all the painted parts and then sell mine. Should save me some since mine are in pristine condition and I just want to switch to black. Anyways, advice?
