The Bar

Guys / Girls, I've just been given a screen that a friend had on his Intruder, but the simpleton sold the bike with the brackets! He's now travelling the world and I'm left wondering how to attach said screen to my 04 XVS650 Dragstar Classic. It has Renegade Styling on a small sticker on the glass but other than that I know nothing about it. It’s your standard cruiser style big windshield and only has two holes on plates pointing backwards on either side. Is there a universal fitting fit you can buy or should I cut my losses and just buy a whole new screen? ANY help would be welcome guys / girls – Planning on doing more long distance riding and the screen su…

I'm sure its been discussed a million times on here but it looks like today's blast around West Kernow was my last for 2016. Work is taking me further away from home and the boss has kindly given me a car on loan for the winter. Road tax is running out as well so may as well call it a day. Tank full/Empty? Battery on trickle charge ? Others?

It wintered all over me from Glasgow to Edinburgh today! So, been thinking about comfying up my Divvy a bit and ensuring it survives the winter as I plan to use it as much as possible. Here's what I'm wanting.. 1) Crash Bars, tempting fate maybe, but they do the job. 2) Heated grips - essential hand mod! 3) Extra lights - not sure about this but I'll probably be doing a lot of night riding. Main lamp on the DIvvy N is good but I could probably do with more. Thinking about something like this.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280525212643&category=25628&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619 I'd be interested to hear if anyone else h…

Chaos reigns at the winter Olympics. After the death of a competitor in the luge, the Irish bobsleigh team are now refusing to compete until the course has been gritted!!

Hi guys and gals Im starting this post as I have so much questions about winter riding and im sure newbies like me would find your replies helpfull....... 1. when riding in rain and wet conditions how much slower should i take corners compared to a dry day as im really going slow and not leaning the bike virtualy at all... 2. In wet conditions aproaching a sharp corner doing 40mph and slowing down whats the best way to brake to slow down? currently i use engine braking by easing off the throtle and braking with both front and rear break and changing down gear and slowly letting out the clutch and slowly accelerate around the corner not enough throtle to go faste…

It's a bummer! So what's it like back there in the UK then?

Its nothing to do with bikes. But! Went out tonite with my youngest for an adventure, hot flask, tow rope, and some basics like a spade, hi viz torch etc to traverse the big hill. Nothing special 99% of the year just a steep hill although its steep in steps for probably half a mile, till it snows. Then only the brave and the stupid take it on. Well take your pick, thats where myself and my youngest were heading basically to give the 4wd system on the rangy a work out to keep it sweet. Well we saw headlights pointing up on one of the steeper parts going nowhere so put pants on the outside and speed to assist. Only to see a focus coming DOWN the hill . It ca…

Hi, I have bought a 91 FZR 600 that has been prepped for the track. I need to fix the indicators on for the MOT. The indicator wiring has been taped up and I have found both the rear wiring and the front right side. But for the life of me I can't find the left side. I have stripped all the tape off to no avail. At the rear the wiring is green and black then brown and black. In the front for the right hand side the wiring is green and black. For the left side i have found on connector (green/blue), but no other. There is a 'male' block connector on its own with brown, black and red wire's going into it. Can someone help with the wiring of the left/front side indicator. …

Hi Anyome out there that can help me. I need help with connecting up the twin spotlights that goe either side of the main headlamp of my dragstar 650 xvs 98 model,where and what to do I connect to please.

Hi All, I am loving my 2003 TDM 900, travelled over 2,000 miles since december. The suspension is a bit lacking, bit it is a 19 year old bike, so time for some upgrades I guess. I've tweaked the pre-load and rebound which has helped a bit; bit less sure about the fork brace though ! The next step is progressive fork springs, I'm looking at a set from Wirth DE, anyone tried them ? Cheers dave

Just seen a BEAUTIFUL bike and thought id share, as I cant afford it anyway. Went to a little breakers in Herne Bay, and he has a Virago 750 that hes restored, he showed me pics of the state it was in when it came in, and hes done an amazing job. If anyone is down that way, worth a look. Just to make clear, this is not a selling post, I have nothing to do with the sale or the seller - was just too good not to share!

2000 fazer 600 or 2000 bandit 600 witch bike would u buy ???
