Yamaha YBR - Waterproof USB and iphone mount (satnav)
I use something like this. not sure if you need this one, your battery is 6V? I recommend you to fit it on the ignition, not directly to the battery.

Cruiser Tyres XVS950A
I don`t know what those numbers mean but I know the tyres are not regular tyres. if you give your mechanic exactly what I post you can`t go wrong. personally I don`t know anything about avon tyres. I prefer to stay with dunlop because those are recommended by yamaha for our bike model... dunlop and bridgestone was tested by Yamaha on this model.

Cruiser Tyres XVS950A
I use dunlop, change it already 2 times, someting like 11.000-12.000 miles with a pair. you don`t need to buy them online, go to a service (eventually on this service where you do your MOT and they can order and fit them for you, this is the way I chose. I use this for rear 170/70B16 Dunlop K555 and this for front 130/70-18M/C 63H D404F

Thoughts on the "j bolt"
I have mounted a BARON lower kit on my bike, in 3 stages (standard, 1", 2") ... don`t remember how much I pay but under 50 pounds delivered from US. I think using a lower kit is better than macking holes in your frame.

SKULLY AR-1 New Generation Helmets
the idea... ok.. the idea is good JUST in some circumstances... what happening if you drop your helmet? everything inside ( the electronics, and display probabbly will be ok... but the helmet can be damaged and you have to change this... so... if you really want those toys, the better idea is the other version that you fit on any helmet you have (outside mounted, like a handsfree). I prefer to have my 450 pounds GPS, my 370 pounds helmet, my 150 pounds scala raider intercom , my 50 pounds scan rider mirror, my 0 pounds crap phone, and my 80 pounds custom mirrors... all those toys cost over 1000 pounds but is doing more and better than this piece of shit art is doing. I think a display in front of my eyes will not be a pleasure... maybe will make me feel like robocop + I think any over 300 pounds helmet are better than this helmet, so, why I want to wear a crap helmet just for some toys inside of this?

SKULLY AR-1 New Generation Helmets

Euro tour
was the floorboards hitting the ground here, drewpy. anyway this don`t was the most scary moment ) the most scaring moment was when a retard coming from opposite side, was starting overtaking a car with 1 mile before the place I was, but when he pass me he was still in the parallel line with the other car, of course on my road side... I had 80m/h when he start the overtaking and when he pass me, I had under 10 m/h, with no place to go in the right side because was a 1m depth channel ... and the f idiots, both of them, pass me with over 100 m/h I think. I guess the other idiot accelerate and don`t leave him to overtake but freak, when you see that, you start using your f brakes, don`t go to kill the biker in front of you. this is the major problem in Romania, most of the people drive ok, make you feel safe, and BOOM.. you find a retard like this and game is over. and you have big chances to find one like this. BUT, like always, if you ride like you are invisible, you will survive ) in UK is not the case, because most are bad drivers, and never make you feel safe so you are concentrate all the time on the road ) bad drivers but a lot more civilized and not so retarded like some romanian drivers. when I enter in romania, I was forced to wait 2,5 h because was an accident with a bus... a car start overtake the bus, the bus driver accelerate and don`t leave the car to overtake, the car was forced to push the bus in the channel to avoid the collision with the car was coming from opposite side and this is how you ruin some lives because you are a f idiot bus driver.

Euro tour
@ bippo, in germany and austria I chose the camping sites, in romania both, camping sites or "pensiune" .. something like inn`s in UK, or bed and breakfast. one night at pensiune in romania is something like 15-25 euro depending of the region and rank. this is in germany, on the river Rhine https://www.dropbox.com/s/2k6kqn1cx0wjv7v/2014-07-10%2012.59.47.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/jy3a86pfpvythof/2014-07-10%2014.13.24.jpg this is in austria, somewhere... lol https://www.dropbox.com/s/8t7x26s97vmret2/2014-07-12%2005.57.43.jpg and my neighbours in austria: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wdvxoh76w3cmwao/2014-07-12%2006.05.44.jpg and this is in romania: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g6otnoxhgqkt4nq/2014-07-15%2020.22.54.jpg

loud pipes or not
I don`t think load pipes save any life, at high speed you will not be heard unless you pass them. at low speed I don`t think you can die and also you can avoid a lot easier the accident.. well, in most cases. also most of the accidents are happening because of both implicated... I think is about over 80% but I can be wrong because I read this long, long time ago. is sound nice when you start the engine but on a long trip can be annoying... for me will be for sure. can be good on filtering but revs a bit my bike standard equipped is enough to make stationary or low speed traffic to hear me. I also think the load pipes will make the police looking after you... and some bike hatters. and those can cause you some discomfort in traffic. you can annoying also normal traffic users but you will be the kids nr1 attraction on the road. at least, is just about what you feel. if you like load, put load, but helping you in any way? no.

Hardly Draggin' Son...??!!
maybe he just like the tank design? I don`t know how this tank was looking but I know the dragstar tanks are ugly. and this can be a good reason. another reason can be because he need a tank and this was cheaper or he can`t find a dragstar tank. you complicate to much the things ))
