Happy New Year everyone Thanks to Admin for a great forum ... See you all out and about soon Mark & Karen

Eyup matey .. welcome to the forum ... where in Lancashire are you??? Probably bumped into you at some point around and abouts

You didnt specify what model etc ... 11k for a 4 stroke is nothing ... but for a 2 stroke its a different ball game altogether ... I may be looking for a 125 for the lad as he's 17 soon ... so what is it exactly matey ....

Hiya Buddy ...Report it to the police ...cos if its his Dads or his bosses car, the little scumbag might just say, it was your fault And then it would be your word against his in court .....

Eyup Dave ... loving the prillia Not got any pics of the XJ yet as its a winter project .. but you'll usually see me riding this little beastie If ya see a B&W 14 and the rider is wearing pink and orange leathers ... its me shakey

sorry folks ... got posted twice ... cos I am a dimwit

The ride will go ahead whatever the weather. *********************************8 I hope this helps the cause .... details were passed to me by 2 very wet and cold members ....

No idea on the shock matey ... but I've got +30mm Hagons on my XJ900F and they work a treat So I guess its a case of suck it and see The XJ900 is a lovely bike to ride .... go for it!!!! After all, the throttle goes both ways

I'm nearly 50 years old... I have always worked ... I have NEVER claimed anything from the benefits system ... This sort of thing makes my blood boil .... I work 6 days a week ... and bloody hard! And for what??? Feck all! Thats what!!! I work for myself ... and let me tell you, its not easy!!! All I seem to work for is to pay utility companies for overpriced gas, electric and water at business rates!!!! And thats not even to mention the bloody council tax!!!! I'm swamped with the bloody things .... and to hear that this family is taking the pi** like this is a total insult!!!! It doesnt seem like it pays to work hard and take risks ... just sign on and you'll get everything!!!! Sorry, rant over .... Off to sign on!!!!

Ay up matey ... a few photos would help ... and a more detailed description .... I suppose at the end of the day, its worth what someone will pay for it .... are you thinking of selling it??? Are you in the UK???? Regards, shakey

Hiya Buddy ... I've got Oxford heated grips on my GSX1400 which work really well ... yer hands are toasty warm ... but dont turn em up too high, or they will blister your hands. I'll be fitting a set on my XJ900F very soon, as winter is now setting in Regards, shakey

Ay up matey ... just down the road from you near Blackpool ... me favourite butty spot is Caton, so not so far from you I'm currently ridin a 91 XJ900f, the predecessor to your Divvy ... might see you out and about sometime! Regards, shakey

I think me knee sliders have moved up me leg again .... they're chaffing a bit!

I always wanted a Headmistress like that

Hiya cloudy, I'm a noobie here too. Good luck with the bike mods

New balls please!!!!

Looks like a dancing cactus!!!!

Hahahaha! Hmmm ... been thinking, and if you're after a Hot Date then try this.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5th November .... Bonfire Night .... . . . . . . . . . Its the hottest one I can think of :lol:

Hiya Jim, well, I'm picking the new shox up on sunday ... so lets hope they work How does a small fairing make that much difference? It wont make the front much lighter? And as i usually ride 2 up, there will be plenty of weight on the back too .... hopefully it will balance out So, phase 1 of "project XJ" is under way........ loads of stuff to do, mainly smallish stuff, but I'll keep ya posted Have fun & be safe shakey

Ahh ... fanks ... tell me more please Jim I was wondering if I fitted the 30mm longer shox, if it would make for sharper cornering ... without the higher end speed problems.... Cant say i've had any problems wiv tank slapping in standard form yet mate.... but I'm intersted to learn more....

Great entrance Goff.......... Good times

I've just watched the video ... and to be honest, as someone that rides most days in all kinds of weather, I've got to say .... anything that gets the attention of a cage driver and saves yer life is good ... these things are bound to get ya noticed Thumbs up from me

I was just wondering ... as there are loads of streetfighters that have their arse end raised up wildly ... if anyone knows any reason that the shaft arrangement of the XJ had any such limitations???? I would have thought if anything that a higher rear end would have helped the "turn in" .... a possible bad side effect could be a steering wobble at high speed or " tank slapping" .... Has anyone got any thoughts???? shakey

Hiya mate ... nope, definately twin shox shakey

Hi all, I'm still very much of a newby here and still finding my way round ... so forgive if this is posted in the wrong place ... I have a 91 XJ900F and the rear shockers are pooped... so need to find some replacements. Does anyone know if shox from any other bike will fit? Just been offered a set of used 330mm Hagons at a very attractive price .. these are longer than stock ... will they fit? Will raising the back totally wreck the handling or help it? If these are no good, can you suggest anything else .... I'm on a tight budget ... so nothing exotic please Your knowledge and help would be appreciated... Fanks, shakey
