Yer I've seen a tutorial on how to do it on the http://www.650ccnd.com site but my skills on that kinda thing are very questionable lol Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk

Hi guys I have found this online int he states:- https://www.denniskirk.com/phoenix-products/forward-control-extension-kit.p576896.prd/576896.sku from Phoenix Products, anyone know if something like this is available in the UK? thinking of my next mod lol

I get around 61mpg on a daily commute not too bad ey!

cheers matey

cool thanks guys, fingers crossed wont be loosing that again!

Sorry I did check my haynes service manual and online but nothing popped out and thought I should check first (I think its plastic :s)

got the parts finally, was pretty quick compared to some places though! Quick question on the timing cover bolt, is there a specific torque strength I need to set it too I don't want to break this one!

Yep I've emailed them as one of the allan bolts looked really chewed up saying I wanted to get a refund, explaining about the Shin Yo's exact match. Not had a response yet from 9am this morning. If I don't hear anything I'll send em back recorded and speak to CC company.

Looks like they get someone else to make it cheaper and then stick their sticker on... Email below from motolux or HH Info Motolux [email protected] (sent by [email protected]) 7:46 AM (42 minutes ago) to me Good Morning, You have two stickers, we buy these parts in ourselfs and add the HH sticker to the package. rgds, Michael. Not happy about that I could have got them for half the price had I known lol Im probably not going to be buying any highway hawk stuff again.

Got them from Customized Choppers. Com prod paid 28 per mirror I think. Seen those Shin Yo ones a hell of alot cheaper though lol The only explanation I can think of is that Shin Yo make the mirrors but also sell them on their brand too?? To say slightly confused is an understatement lol Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk

Hi Guys! Has anyone bought any Highway Hawk kit recently? I just got my mirrors through and the packaging looks suspect has another "copy" makes brand in it. Shin Yo. as well as stickers. Does anyone know if they work together on this stuff? or they are the same brand? Thanks in advance

Drewpy - I didnt think of that! Damn Ill go buy a bottle of wine for the misses tonight, kill two birds with one stone, will have a look into breakers today too Thanks cynic, will look into those too

Cool thanks will give them a call tomorrow, looked online looks like they may have to order the part in. Going to keep looking through eBay etc just in case I find something I can get by tuesday

Hi Guys does anyone know where to get parts at next day delivery? On my crank case the flat head plug snapped out for some reason. Tried http://www.yamahamotorcyclespares.co.uk already and they are saying it could take from 10 to 30 days, but I use the bike every day lol Any help would be great part numbers are fits: Yamaha OEM number: 90340-14153 http://www.cmsnl.com/yamaha-xvs650rrc-2003_model11209/plugstraight-screw_9034014153/#.UxzVM158wY0 fits: Yamaha OEM number: 93210-14369 http://www.cmsnl.com/yamaha-xvs650rrc-2003_model11209/o-ring-2h9_9321014369/#.UxzVql58wY0 Thanks guys - any help would be great

Think that's the best colour by far have you had the chance to ride out yet?

I have the same problem. The weather doesn't help! I can't seem to get it of and I'm not a massive fan of the chrome anyways. Have you thought about getting it powder coated or painted? Don't even know if that would even be cheaper than re-chroming. Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk

I've seen them cheap (£200 cheap!!) on http://www.motorcycle-superstore.co.uk/6983/i/vance---hines-shortshots-staggered-exhaust-system so very tempted to buy them now, I think the wife my kill me though! haha

Nice, you'll have to let me know how it rides. Thinking of this as my next bike! What colour did you go for?

should really try and flip my current ones really then to see what clearence from tank and elbow issues, didn't think of that lol

I like the black bit not sure on the flame arms, want to keep it simple was thinking basically the same as the standard ones with slightly smaller mirrors and in black. possibly shorter stems if I'm putting them underneath the handlebar.

Haha yer along with the black exhaust I'm searching for. I think I have found some with a conversion bolts slightly confusing lol but I'm sure ill get there.

Hi guys decided to get some new wing mirrors, was really forced to! Lorry took out the left hand one they were quite bad anyways with pitting and rust on the arms. decided id like something like the under handlebar ones but havent seen any, what does everyone else have or recommend? not a massive fan of the chrome though.

Hi Guys, I did a quick search to see if this was already posted sorry if it was I didn't see it. but in order to get a better tax rate etc for bikes I think its a great idea. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/48869

Thanks guys I'll bear that in mind. I have found someone who could make one for me who does them for Harley's so could potentially have anything (obviously for a price!)
