Wow, that seat is MASSIVE!

yeah you need to put photo's on something like photobucket or flickr

I'm quite chuffed at busters at the moment, good service and decent prices...

Urm, What's clinking against what? That don't sound normal to me...

haha, good one!

What bike have you got?

Nice, have you seen "

That is one cool way to stick it too the school bully, and also your daughters so called friends for allowing it to happen...

Can you show us a pic of what you mean? I think what you're on about is a heat shield, and the presence of jubilee clips make me think it'd come off before... Why not make one yourself, it'd be nice and unique that way!

Haha, good one. I take it you're getting a refund then?

I think I'll hold onto it in case I need to put it back on.... Have you tried eBay?

I don't think they will fit, If they're the ones I'm thinking of they're made for hollow spindles... despite the sellers promises that they will fit the xvs650.

That's the seat that came with the bike, I'm thinking of taking it off and putting a rack on insted though...

Been washing mine today too: (yes, that is the reflection of my road/neighbours houses you can see in the tank) I used: Muc-off ACF-50 and Stardust Eclat polish p.s. If you're gonna tap an M8 you'll want to drill a bit smaller than 8mm, 6.8mm should do nicely.

? ? ? ? ?

Right, The kickstand "trip" switch exists to stop you driving with your kickstand/sidestand down (a sensible move eh?) The trigger for the switch is a little bit of metal at the pivot of the sidestand. My first thought is to make sure this moves with the sidestand (Mine came a bit loose, but worked the other way - I could put the bike into gear and ride with the stand down -Dangerous!) Torque up the bolt to be sure it's not loose. You should be able to start the bike with the sidestand down, as long as it's in neutral (tip:since you're light isn't working - move the bike backwards and forwards without using the clutch to make sure you're in neutral)

Well, not ALWAYS... just when they're in a good mood. (If they point it means you're doing something wrong)

Death?

Was it something we said???

Welcome to the forum...

You could try the "wanted" section??? Or failing that ebay?

Oh dear... was it me? in "He's home!"??

Will the money make much of a differance to you? Can you ride to work?? If you take the bike to work you could take the 100 mile detour home... Sod it! ride where you can, when you can!!

It's been nearly three weeks now, Have you run him in yet? How many miles have you done so far?

I asked my (now ex)wife what she'd do if I won the lottery... She said she'd divorce me, take half my winnings then go and live in barbados. I gave her a fiver and told her to fook off lol...
