Hi All I have a Fazer 1000 and I have been looking to put white dials on it but after searching I haven`t managed to find any untill now. I am a member of a fazer site ( http://fazerowners.yuku.com/topic/29682 ) and go under the name of MDCLSC as I was saying I have found a company who will make the sets up but I need to have 20 orders so that there will be at good cheap price if you follow the link below you will see what there look like on I have asked the company if there could put the word Fazer instead of the FZ as the logo and yes will do that if thats what people want also there will put KPH in large on the outer in blue and …

Firstly - before the mods kick my ass - this is NOT a For Sale ad! I've had an approach from a guy who wants to swop his race/track bike for my FZR. Its also an FZR, but apparently was built by V&M for Jim Moodie as a spare bike for the 1996 North West 200 Production race but never used. Its in good condition, ready to race or for track day use. Its heritage can be verified as genuine (so i'm told). Is there much demand for this kinda thing? Or does anyone wanna buy it?? lol I'm kinda tempted to do the deal but only with the intentions of selling it on straight away to raise funds for another road bike. All opinions welcome! Vic

Can anyone shed any light on the two little white plastic inserts on the front/side of the airbox where the two intake tubes,that feed the box,join ie, are they restricters,and can they be junked.ta

hi do any of you know how much a speedo drive for a yamaha yx600 radian. do you also know where i can get them from thanks.

Hi again folks, I just thought I'd update you on the progress of the little Yam Thanks go to Chris66, for info on forks, now sorted and fitted with new seals :-) By the way, I must say I found it strange that you gave the size of the bi-hexagon damper tube top, in "imperial" (ie. 5/8") when the bike is Japanese and mainly metric sizing, but I did manage to get them out with a length of 8mm studding and some 13mm nuts. they were a bit sloppy and would have been better with 14mm. But as I'm not planning on doing them again anytime soon I'm quite chuffed that the job is now done Thanks too to Paul (O.G.O.A.B.) for his invaluable input regarding the re-soldering of…

Hi does anyone have a spare rxs 100 seat around as Iv been trying to get one for ages and I would be most grateful if you could sell it to me at a reasonable cost many thanks

Hi all in the shropshire and surrounding counties it is with great sadness that i have to inform you that the stormy petrel pub (thursday bike nights gone)is closed However on the bright side the raven cafe at whitchurch has decided to have the bike night at there place so we all have a place to go on a thursday night still (thanks Lynn and Pete)and we can be sure of a great bacon butties in place of that clapped out van that was always at the stormy. All the best shiny side up.

i have an rd 125 twin 1975 i think the colour is brandy red but im not that keen on it was wondering if they did any other colours as the pannels need painting as well as the tank if so any one know the paint code and the best place to get it thanks

Hi, I have a problem with my son's (restricted) 535S Virago and I've torn out virtually all the hair I have left in trying to solve it - so I hope someone out there can help: 1997 535S twin carbs and everything bog standard apart from the restrictor. 1. Original fault was not starting after a lay-off over last winter: Stripped down the carbs and changed the petrol pump because the pump wasn't 'ticking'. It was neither of those but the bike started after that - first go as I recall. 2. Now starting OK but:- Poor performance - no power and wouldn't go much above 50 mph in any gear. It seems to reach a flat spot: Inspected the diaphrams and fo…

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.

Hi everyone im stil new to this site and i duno if ive posted this in the right place (: Right i have a YBR125cc 59 plate havent realy done much to it apart from rim tape and stickers i was going to leave it as that but i wanted it to sound a little bit deeper with a nice tone i custom made and exhaust for mine mainly for sound but now im looking at the power side of things the exhaust is pritty much hollow so its letting out enough air and i took the air filter and the cover of the air box for a while to drive about and see if that helps and it didnt realy just badly smelt of petrol (rich) so ive stuck it back on but i have brought a fancy air filter and removed …

Just took delivery of my Hood ND4 jeans, along with the armour inserts - very impressed with the build quality, they are very long for a pair of jeans but I'm assuming that's so that when you're sitting on the bike they're not halfway up your leg. Anyway, I thought maybe some of you might have been thinking about getting a pair of armoured jeans, if you want to know anything about them let me know. Cheers JK

Hey guys, My Dad has been given a Yahama TR1 VX1000 which is shaft driven, but he doesnt have an exhaust for it. We are trying to find one, but no-one in Australia seems to know what a TR1 is. Where can we get an exhaust from? or, will a Virago exhaust fit? Cheers, Luke
