If it fits XVS1300 will be interested. My understanding is there are differences between the hyper for 1100 and 1300, so need to know what is. Do you the prod. number?? Can check the techy stuff to see if it fits. Cheers MIG

Thinking of fitting a Hypercharger on my little bike. Anyone fitted one to XVS1300 ??? Which one and how did you rate it ??? Cheers MIG

Just tried 'CIF' lemon cream (got to have bike smelly nice LOL !!!) on chrome, works a treat and its far cheaper than expensive chrome polishes. Don't go nuts with it though and keep it off matt paint surfaces ! MIG

GREAT choice of bike !! I have one, its the dogs nadds :-) Yep you have to keep the clutch in slightly and slip it as it does pull alot in 1st gear, hence 'kangaroo petrol syndrome'. The bike is a little less unforgiving than a 125cc, you'll get used to it. Don't you just love :-) it when you touch the throttle.... and it just pull's like a bat out of hell :-) !! I don't have a screen on mine 'I'm too cool LOL !!, but read on t'internet that you get a lot of turbulance behind the screen, one way around it is to cut it down slightly. Don't know if this is applicable to you. Where abouts you based ?? MIG

Hey Baresi, sounds like you have to much Oil in your engine. That pipe is an oil over flow pipe to get rid of excess oil in the engine so it doesn't damage it. Have you checked you Oil window level ??? Oil should be just over the middle about 2/3 This should fix your problem, if it persists take it to a garage if you can't resolve the problem.

Sunny weather! Medway, KENT Anyone up for a ride today?? Will wait till 10.30am then I'm off. MIG p.s. reply here LOL!!

Great guys thnx ! 1- We now have Belgom advised by Gof ;-) 2- Autosol by the granny's butler :-) 3- Blue Job (I wonder what the marketing guy's assistant was doing in the meeting when they thought of that brand name ?) We have two good ones, hmmm decisions decisions ... .... the good thing about all this chrome, who needs to go to the gym after polishing ;-)

guys, I looking at buying some chrome polish.. What do you guys recommend ?? I came across this stuff online wondered if anyone had seen anything better or has had expereince with this product?? www.blue-job.co.uk MIG

Well those positive vibes you're sending certainly are helping in my part of Kent. Sunny !! Hence, will put some miles on me'bike today too :-) When I think summer I think: girls/women scantly clad, sun, heat, leathers, smell of oil, burning rubber tyres, more girls, shinny chrome, more girls, empty open roads!! and finally .... nice cold beer - Summer

Yep apparently snow from wednesday :-( Hope not, cos have a nice ride this weekend riding in my new bike all the way up norf' ayyee !! Finally got my new bike, although bought it a couple of weeks back, had to wait for the new reg date - 2nd March. It was torture couldn't sleep properly cos of excitment. The bike goes like a rocket, really tempting to take it passed 55mph !! But ..... can't haavvvee ... to .. waaiiitt........ only a week due to trip. It'll be 400 mile round trip, plus bits here and there it will be ready for its first service next week woahoo !!! Yeah crap weather !!

Thinking of getting some Cobra pipes with a FI2000 unit for my XVS 1300. Although I'm also weighing up the Vance and Hines pipes too, but like the sound of Cobra's. I can get hold of the Vance and Hines in UK. The US of A have all the good stuff. Can only find suppliers in the USA for Cobra, anyone know where i can get some in the UK ?? Its all about the ££'s right now..... What you guys think Cobra OR Vance and Hines for an XVS 1300?? MIG

Try these www.myspace.com/bordel they might be up for it.

Heel/toe the way cruisers should be. :-) I heard through the grape vein they are working on a 2.6 litre version of the Rocket III !!!!! .....wonder what BHP that will be and how fast... 2.3 will already do 150mph !

Saw a 950A on saturday. Nice bike if you want the retro look. As far as the differences without the obvious power and liquid cooled engine. Its more in the lines and size. The speedo looks cool following into the lines of the fuel tank. The seating is lower and you are more inside the bike (oh err!). From what I've read on another forum somewhere you do miss that extra bit of cc which makes a difference in power from mid to top end, apparently. Obviously the top speed is less about 90something. Thats all I know about 'em, but like pointed out already by the nice folks on here you can buy a 2008 XVS1300A model for roughly the same price. MIG

Hi guys, Anyone know what the updated differences between last years XVS1300A model and this years 2009 model ?? Example:- in 2008 we know the clutch noise was sorted out from the 2007, the clutch assembly package was replaced. I can't find anything different so far from last year 2008 to this years model.... Anyone shed some light ?? MIG
