The Bar

Hi all I just got my new/second hand XJR1300 (not an sp) I also got the twin headlamps that fit straight on to it. I think they would look real good on it. The question is what happens to all the wiring and plugs that you find in the original single headlight ? what do you do to make them look good without all that excess wiring hanging around many thanks Dr Devious

Hi All Just introducing myself , just bought an XT600 after passing my DAS a couple of weeks ago, have been doing some off roading for a while on my TTR250. Looking for inspiration from other riders.

hi all new lad from the midlands uk new to bikes just brought a r6 so ill be sticking around

I have just been going though my emails and found I had a PM from somebody on this site. Turns out that its a spam email, but it reminded me that I was signed up to this site. I am currently yamaha less, having sold the RD250 and the DT125LC I still have a hankering for a V-max though! Co-incidently I have just found a load of old Yam bits at the back of the garage in a box, these might be looking for a new home soon. Cheers all! Phil

Just fitted new Exahaust to my XT600, burning my plastic plate ! Any good recommendations for an alloy plate ?

Hi everyone. quite a while to wait until im 17 but im starting to consider my options in regards to personal transport. The DT will be going soon after my b'day and i've been quoted £250 to insure me on my Jawa 350 (TP F&T) which would be ideal as it shouldn't take more than £100 to get the jawa tarted up and running. however, im starting to consider getting a small car as i dont quite fancy freezing my tits off by riding through another winter, Ford Capri 1600 Laser would be nice but thats £2,500 to insure and no doubt will need the floorpans welding back in at some point or another. so i looked at the insurance for a Peugeot 106, bit more reasonable as i…

Hi guys, Im after some more valuble advice from you guys out there. I have a Fazer 600 s late 2008 model, its been run in, nearly 3500 miles already, but now i seem to be getting a lot of vibration through the seat when i hit between 57 mph and 66 mph. After, and before these speeds no vibration at all, very comfortale riding. The vibration is coming up through the seat area, very nice if your a woman im sure, but not for me.

Hi everyone. I bought my first bike on saturaday. Its a 1996 fzr 600r (foxeye) which i bought private. I absolutely love it by the way! Its got fsh, 20k miles, recently serviced, 2 new tyres, new brakes new stainless downpipes, great condition for its age and it only cost me a grand! Its pretty much perfect except for one thing thats bugging me. The pillion seat on it doesn`t seem to fit down properly. It is as if it is missing some fixings at front of the seat. I slide the front of the seat in first then push the back down and it clicks and locks in but there is nothing to slide the front part of the seat into so when it locks into place the front part of the seat kin…
