    And the victim this time was Yam100RX-S who decided to be as disruptive as possible running round the site hurling abuse. As all the others in the past (and there's been a lot) will tell you.....we don't tolerate people trashing our house. Yam100RX-S.....you are the weakest link....Goodbye!

    And this time it's Peabody! After persistently hurling Pro Yank anti Brit racist slurs all around the board.....he then did the same to one of the moderators via PM. Consequently he has now left the building for good! As an aside, I've been very busy with work commitments lately and haven't had the time to watch developments on here as closely as is necessary. From now on things will change......and the trash will be thrown out on a much more regular basis! If any more dickheads appear just PM a Mod!

    The Mods have been discussing the situation with JMW and have voted unanimously to ban him. I have carried out their instruction. So.....Ladies and Gentleman....Boys and Girls..... JMW aka Jackanory Jiro has left the Building! Any tearful farewell messages should be posted in this thread! I'll begin by making an award that is most deserved!

    Can anyone tell me if FZX fork yolks will fit my FZ 750, or any other yolk that would fit to raise handlebars above yolks (as i want to street me bike). Or even another set of forks/yolks that fit straight on. Are R6 or R1 compatible ? Also i want to change rear end & improve suspension & fit wider tire. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm having terrible trouble reading the forum for weeks now it has taken ages for the page to load - if at all. This is first post since forum has moved to new servers I think. So I'm gonna make it a long one! How you getting on with the Oxford Grips OG?! I've fitted some to my T'cat and well - Awesome is all I can say. I was on A57 (two weekends ago) from Sheff when silencer clamp bolt fell off and silencer twisted round and stuck out a mile (grounding on right handers). Shit myself. After my Brother rescued me I nearly drowned going through deep water near Bamford (Water coursing off the hills from the melting snow). Shit myself again. Was great though, looked …

    Well, as some of you may have noticed, there have been one or two slight, minor, hardly noticeable changes to the Forums... I'm sorry, I'm English, sometimes we don't realise that Sarcasm Mode is engaged! So, long and short of it, I blame Alex, he broke it!!! lol No seriously, there's been an upgrade to Invision v5, and it obviously hasn't gone as smoothly as possible. I got this message from Alex last night: Hi Paul, Hope all is well. I've seen your comments on the board but can't respond! The upgrade to v5 of the forum software has been a disaster. It was fully tested in the same environment, applications etc. I also waited for two revisions after the v5 went live t…

    Hi guys, thanks to those of you who have been giving feedback via the feedback tab on the left of the screen, and for those of you for putting up with it. It's not going to be up for much longer as the new software will be out at the end of the year. In the meantime we are still trying to collate as much feedback as possible about the use of this forum/functionality etc to ensure that the new board is much more user friendly. We are looking to simplify the forums and add additional areas so please let us know your thoughts.

    I've been away for a week and have come back to people just posting random workshop questions in the Bar and New Members Sections. Given that I keep getting ribbed for being a bit strict on just removing them, I can't be ar5ed to clean them up anymore so my new plan is just to add people who do it to my ignore list forever.

    Hi everyone, the forums are about to be updated shortly, unfortunately there will be some downtime. AND a loss of branding until the templates are sorted out, I believe the new functionality and ease of use will be worth it. If any one has any issues please let me know. I will be updated our facebook page once all is running correctly so please go there to check for updates. Cheers Alex
