Just a word of advice. I have to change my tyres due to my neglect of checking the tyre pressure. it has created a flat squared of spot on the front tyre. not good obviously. so i just thought i would let you know. as i had no idea a) it was under pressure (no queens lyrics please!) or it would have that amount of effect. but maybe im just a bit of a thicky dumb shit!!! other than that just had the beast serviced and apart from new rear pads and the need ffor new tyres everythign else is ship shape.

I lost a key from a boozy night out, so having only 1 key left i thought it would be wise to get a pair of backups made. called up the dealership, gave them my key code, eng no, frame no and he said it would be no problem, pick em up the next day, so i did. Only problem being these new keys are good enough to open the petrol tank and not start her up! They dont even look the same at the bottom of the key as my original. Any ideas?

I am getting ready to put new aftermarket exhaust (complete system) on my 2006 v star 1100 and I was wanting some input from the v star 1100 community or anyone with some knowledge of the subject. I am looking for deep sounding exhaust with high performance. I would also like an exhaust that is not inclines to blue as easily as others. Any suggestions, please feel free. Thanks.

The seat is not really improvement over staock but BEWARE!!!! If the easily removable backrest is stolen, Mustang WILL NOT sell you another backrest. You have to buy the entire $600+ seat just to replace a backrest or any other part. They are not even polite about telling you, "we sell seats, not parts." I wrote this warning to Cruiser Magazine and RoadBike Magazine. Art Freedman at Cruiser contacted Mustang and they lied to him, saying the backrest was available. Sorry, but the company does not tell the truth and, when you have been ripped off once by a thief, they rip you off again in your time of need. I will definitely never buy another Mustang product.

Hi I'm after as many close up pictures of a DT50M as i'm rebuilding one but it's been so many years my memory aint what it used to be (and I can't remember what it used to be) I could do with some close ups of where the front footpegs mount, a close up of the speedo and mounts, headlamp and mounts, infact the more info (written or pics) the better. I know that a lot of TY50 parts are interchangable but if anyone can tell me exactly what parts i'd be grateful You can email me on [email protected] Cheers Dave
