Out on my Cat last night ( lovely sunny evening)..I've had it for 2 months now and am gradually feeling more confident. Anyway going quite fast round twisty country roads here in North Devon, I found that a couple of times when going too fast into a corner ( judged it wrong --let's be honest ) trying to lean over more and grabbing a large handful of front brake, the bike suddenly tried to go straight on, and tried to come upright. I was really lucky on a left hand hairpin (VERY tight), when I realised I was too hot into it, braked hard, and the bike stopped turning and carried straight on over to the outside lane....if anything was coming the other way I'd be "daid as a clat of old earth" by now as we say down here!!! On the journey home I tried braking really hard when going in a straight line and everything was fine I.e. stopped cleanly in a good straight line...but when I tried it when cornering ( either left or right) the same weird feeling cut in again....a bit un-nerving!!!! Any clues anyone??

Has anyone else tried to buy a "headlight lens cover" from a git selling them on E-bay??? I saw a "Thundercat headlight cover-any colour...with all fittings" advertised for "buy it now" £18.99. As my 'cat has orange in its colour scheme, and I've just fitted an amber double bubble, I ordered an amber headlight cover. BUT...when it came, the fixing pads are WHITE, and as you can obviously see them through the ( again obviously ) transparent lens cover it looks shocking. I contacted the seller and politely asked for fixings in a suitable colur, but he refused saying "they're fine". I replied saying the whole idea of a coloured lens cover is to make the bike look better.....not worse. As he refused to budge, the matter went to the resolution service who unbeleiveably ahve today said " the item was basically as described"!!!! If you see these for sale..he does loads of bike models...ask him what colour fixings he supplies BEFORE you bid...don't be a mug like me.
