Hi All, Anyone got any recomendations for a legal slip on can for the 08 R6? I have (until now) a standard bike, but having went out yesterday with a mate who has got a CBR 600 and another with a Ducatti felt totally embarrased by the pitiful noise of mine!! Cant be having that - gotta do something! Dont want anything illegal and dont want a full unit, just want to slip the current one off and replace it with something a bit more manly!

Shall I buy a 1 piece or 2 piece leather suit. I would mostly be riding around town and probably go for a cruise in the country side and coast on weekends. Which one would be better and why? The following are my main criteria: 1) SAFTY 2) Comfort 3) keep you warmer Hope this makes sense.

Would this be possible to fit on my XT125x because i don't like how far my domino throttle grip goes back. I think it must be a full turn or 3/4 turn. If so would something like this fit. or would a 1/2 turn be safer to use. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Quick-Action-Throttle-Grip-Set-1-4-Turn-Monkey-Dax-PitBike-Pit-Dirt-Bike-Start-/271156163097?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3f222ab219

This is the second time my dragstar has done this, cranks over fine but no spark, I checked everything, and I mean, "EVERYTHING"...... except the ignition switch, I assumed because it was cranking over then the switch had to be OK. I was talking to a guy who has the same bike the other night at a bike meet, he said that he had the same trouble, but if he turned the key back ever so slightly while cranking it over it would start. So next day I took the switch apart and sure enough the wiper had been dragging plastic on to the copper contact and plastic is not a good conductor, so, cleaned the tracks up with 2000 wet and dry and no more bad starting, and I guess thi…

I just got a 2001 vstar 1100 classic. I didnt expect it to have the ghost flames. I do love them, however I noticed that they are NOT on the front fender. Does this seem right. They are on the tank and rear fender. I dont really trust what the dealer might tell me. PS howdy this is my first post.
