  1. Hi Ian gone I'm afraid... Stu
  2. Hi Jim they have gone I'm afraid... I'm not they would have fitted though... they use the OEM mounts and are tight on the bottom of the screen. ( work v well though! ) Only bits I have left now are a brand new standard back box... I had two... and drilled one, this one is the original off the bike. I have a HAL back rest and rack Some rear foot plates... I brought cheap then upgraded, I cant remebr the make, but they dont fold up. and a few other bits and bobs... a rear seat, and all the fittings I took off to fit the oem painiars... Oh and last bit is a set of leather "throw over" paniniers I used before the OEM If any of that is any use please let me know All the best Stu
  3. Hi Dave, Well i hope you are enjoying it! They really are a great bike! I wish I had the cash to keep both :-) Yep the roadhouse is a Slip On... if you look at your pipe, you will see a sort of clamp at the end of the header pipes, the 02 sensor is "up stream" of the back box... to take off your pipe, you undo the clamp, then there are two bolts underneath the pipe that holds the back box one... undo them, and the pipe pulls off, the 02 sensor and header pipes stay exactly where they are. The roadhouse 2slips on exactly the same way with same fixings... Simple :-)
  4. Hi Dave, Welcome to the Forum, have you had you bike long?.... I think they are one of the best cruisers around... even better with a nice loud pipe Pipe cost me £380 from Alchemy six months ago, so i was thinking about half price £190... is that fair? Stu
  5. Guys, I'm ashamed to say I have sold my Midnight Star I took a test ride on a BMW K1300 GT and got a trade in to good to turn away... So before it went I took back some to the add ons. Before I stick on e bay I though I'd see if anyone here fancied first refusal? I have A Road House Slip on... Is a easy fit, 20min max... it is LOUD... now you can get a quite baffle from Alchemy, but I just loved the noise An almost brand new standard back box... I brought a dented one from ebay and drilled that rather than risk drilling the new one.. so if you fancied drilling yours this would be a great way to do it ( the dented drilled went with the bike ) A Yammey "Short screen" this is OEM, 14".. I also had a OEM 17" that went with the bike A set of Bucks Lowers... I imported them from the US... frankly they don’t look great, but they really do a good job of removing the buffeting you get with the standard screen.... Also have the rear seat and all the standard fittings I took off to fit the OEM panniers... I can’t see why anyone would want em, but maybe some could have damaged the original stuff... All the stuff listed is in good nick, and I'm happy to send any photos if you want em. Sorry to the moderator if this is in the wrong bit... but it seemed to make sense to put the post here. If anyone’s interested drop me a PM or leave a post... no sensible offer refused! Stu
  6. not a chance... Mr sucker takes it away to dispose off.... in his own car I bet! must have only had a couple of ltrs of desil let... so just a bit smoky..
  7. Well I guess its me... cost me £300 to fill up my car! Started off OK... when to Tesco’s with my 5p Off per litre... 72 litre’s later.. big smile, that’s 72 * 5P £3.55 saved Lovely check out lady "Hi there what pump where you on" Me " 14 I think" Her "Ok that’s 72 litre of unleaded £75 pounds please" Me " no that must be the wrong pump, my cars diesel ".... " Oh S*it it is me" !!!! RAC to the "rescue"... ah filling up with wrong fuel is not a brake down its your error.. not to worry we can send someone out to fix it £150+VAT So one hour later, Unleaded £75 Fuel out £181 Fill up with diesel £82 ( I used my 5 p off voucher on petrol Doh!!! ) So that’s the most expensive fill up I’ve done in my car £338.....

  13. Its a Keis vest... got it from Bike Bits in Yatley.. just up the road from you.. also got the battery pack so I can wear it when I walk the dog! Below is a pic of the wife with hers on I looked at the Exo stuff, its a bit more cash, and I have the Exo insoles for my boots... didnt think that much of them.
  14. £90 quid with a "free" temp controler... It gets warm in seconds... I see you are in the frozen North... I bet you could use it all year round
  15. Treated myself to a heated vest this weekend... Ok Ok I know I am a Soft Southern Jessie, but hey I an old Soft, Southern Jessie Got to say they are bloody brilliant, Its got both a battery for off bike, and a connection the bike battery... I did a gentle 100 miles on Saturday the jacket set to medium, I had to stop after 10 Miles and turn it down to low!! I whore it to work thin AM, the thermometer on bike said it was about 6 degrees... set the jacket on low and it was toasty, all the way in.. Works well with the heated grips, warm hands, warm body warm hart! Nice way to travel!!!
