----i have had loads of stuff from U.S, with no probs but recently got caught out -ordered a stilletto seat for xvs 650 from los angeles motor cycles (via ebay they would not mark as gift & ihad to pay £59.00 to customs before they woul release it--nice seat though & still cheaper than any where in UK!!

hello & welcome mate--where you at

yep it is great -had been racking my brains as to what to do/use -what a brill idea- will be attempting to make 1

DIDN'T have much trouble at all but i did take brake pedal (all bracket ) & rectifier off first----also made a small plate/brackt to pick up on front hole so both hole on original mount were in use not just rear. p.s what sort heat shield did you get as like u said original sh*t-- textile trousers melted & nasty marks on leathers- but a small prce to pay

as goff said no probs with re jetting - fitted spot on 35 mins- sound awesome-had loads of posative comments --even from acouple of harley riders!!

Free bike parking for motorcyclists could be scrapped nationally because information needed to oppose the move has been kept from riders, according to campaigners. Under law people have six months to object to new parking charges for motorcycles becoming permanent. But public notices telling riders vanished within days of the charges being introduced. A campaign group says motorcyclists across the country will lose long-standing free bike parking bays and urges riders to sign the group’s petition on Number 10’s website at Deadline to sign up by: 06 March 2009 http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/bikeparkingfees/
