The Bar

Lads & Ladesses, Just after some advice on bluetooth sets from anyone on the site familiar with them. I commute daily by bike and would aften make & receive calls on the bike through the course of the day too. I've had a Viper helmet which has bluetooth embedded but it wasn't the most reliable. Does anyone have any experience of good quality headsets ? That way I could talk the missus ALL the time ...... yeh! Cheers

Ok so I admit it I am an old fart who when he wants to make a call used to look for a red phone box on the side of the road. Now apparently you can use one if these magical mobile jobbies that also wipes your arse and makes the tea (not in that order I hope) anyway got a new(ish) phone and it has this bluetooth thing and I was wondering if anybody on here might have some (clean) suggestions as to which B/tooth headset might be best to use on an OLD XJ 750 that makes more noise than a tractor at about 60MPH, my lid is ok and quite sound proof apart from the odd whistle from the wind now and then, it is a tight fit (no good slopping about is it) so I imagine that the head s…

Well peeps i finally got round to changing the yokes on the FUCR (cheers again , Tommy!) but they dont fit! thats the last time i trust a google search for advice..., i need a set of top yokes with 36mm stanchions, 185mm between the stanchion centres and a 63mm offset, the XS ones Tommy donated are more like 55 offset (stupid me should have checked...) . does anyone know which bike has yokes that fit the above description?, also the stem on the XZ frame is quite long, and fitting a whole different set of yokes is going to be a pain in the ass ,

is anyone going? its on the 20th (saturday) and 21st (sunday) of may (next weekend) at the east of england showground in petaborough. im going on the saturday if anyone wants to meet up for a hello and a wonder round? its brilliant if you've never been before. i went last year and got quite a lot of stuff at good prices hope to see someone there Tom

Has anyone had there chroming done at Bob Cooper's in Coventry recently as I have your RD header pipes and you have mine. I picked up my chrome on the 19 May and there was a set of other RD stuff on the bench. The one's I got are off a newer model as there quite short and totally different angle compared to the spare set I have. PS. My bike is an RD350B I hope your on this site...

has anyone on here made a bobber? if so, what bike did you choose as a doner? cheers peeps

Just bought a 1999 yamaha v star 650 that I am looking to turn into a bobber take off the front and rear fenders and put a solo seat on and a different set of handle bars on

My stoopid, son tried climbing on to my bike today whilst it was parked on the drive and as a result I now need a new brake lever (£19 off wemoto) and a new plastic side panel cuz he tipped it over (he's fine other than the thick ear he got when he banged it against the palm of my outstretched hand). Any idea where the best place would be to look for a side panel other than paying yamaha OE prices? Cheers. Si.

HELLO I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME OR DIRECT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION I HAVE A 94 YZF 750R I JUST BOUGHT IT THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN I'M AT A STOP OR RED LIGHT WHEN I TAKE OFF IN FIRST GEAR IF I DONT REV IT TO ABOUT 4000RPM IT BOGS SPUTTERS AND SOMETIMES IT TURNS OFF ON ME NOT SURE WHAT IT IS IT ALSO FEELS A LITTLE UNDER POWERED BIKE RUNS SMOOTH ON FREEWAY COULD IT BE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL THAT SHUTS OFF GAS FLOW?

Peeps I has a problem, due to technical issues I am now having to re-enter (giggity) every password for all of my accounts for the first time in about three years. Yeah, slight problem with that, have no idea what my password is and the email account I used for registration has long since been deactivated... Is there a mod out there that could help me out here?...

So currently Im trying to rebuild my dads fz750 that he raced back in the day at daytona, pocono, and such. I think I have most of the parts I need and thanks to djcrow on here I have a manual to help me as well. The bike is currently in pieces and my task is to put it back together. My problem is that all of the bolts for the bike are in several diffent drawer, none of which are labeled So My question is what advice do you guys have so I can figure out what bolts go where? the manual has many pictures but most are not detailed enough to tell which bolt goes where. So please give me any advice you have! Im just trying to get this thing running again like back in the …

me again.. decided to change the reed block on my rxs. already had a spare and fiber reeds installed on that. so i went about doing that. I noticed that most of the bolt heads were 10mm but 1 was 11mm they were all sorts of diferent lengths 1 was barley long enough to gain purchace on to the actuall cylinder.. so im wondering what bolts should i get for it. il probably get them from yambits if they have them. but i need to know which.

Look's like today's the day for new recruits. I've been lurking for some time now - just thought I'd break the ice an' say hello. I've returned to biking after a 15 year lay-off bought a shagged foxeye in view of a quick spruce up, and got kind of carried away with an over the top refurb (or it will be - when I can organise my lazy arse). So, do the new blokes get the beer's in?

I know, I know - bit of a surprise that I can actually read!! But this book is well worth a look. Its a collection of pictures of Road Racing, and it highlights just how amazing these guys are and the stories back up the opinions about how friendly the atmosphere and riders are. Especially good is the story & pics about Martin Finnegan (RIP) Highly recommended. P.S. - I'd still love to see Stoner try the Roads - he'd fill his leathers!!

hi, i recently bought this months superbike magazine and to my suprise there is a pull out section on the cadburys boost yamaha team from back in the day! I have a 1998 boost yzf750sp and dont really know how many were made and more importantly how many might be left. Does anybody have one of these bikes as i have a few questions. I know mine was won in a competition. should i buy an old shitter to throw up a track? any info would be handy. thankyou

Ordered a pair of boots of the internet and they don't fit :-( They are UK size 8 and I can't get them done up around me legs. It's now the seconds pair I have tried :-( I have no idea either if I have wide feet - 9.5cm width so quite confused where to go next. Not looking for anything expensive, just want something under £100, that I can use for commuting and walking around the shops etc. Help
