Hey folks. My band is Zico Chain, im the drummer. We have released 4 records and toured Europe and UK for about 10 years, in 2013 we opened for Iron Maiden at the o2 arena, enough about that. A few years back we printed and sold a few thousand hoodies with a design on the back similar to a biker patch, influenced heavily by the Sons of Anarchy show. (see pictures). Aswel as the hoodies, it was printed on my kick drum head, and even had drum cases designed with it printed on. I have heard over the years that it was riskey and would upset bikers. Ive met a biker gang in Nerembourg Germany who were initially a bit miffed until we explained we were only a band it it was merch. Ive heard of a biker group in Essex filling thier club house with sons of Anarchy hoodies robbed from local fans of the show wearing the merch, and also talks that Zico fans in the same area have been told to take thier hoodies off. Ive not experienced that myself, might just be hearsay. What are your thoughts? Was done conpletely innocently, as sons of anarchy was taking off, and we sold a butt load of hoodies!! Now ive discoverd you lot are more friendly than I expected, thought id ask your thoughs. Thanks chaps

Top man. What a nice thing to say.

Thanks for the advice man, I think ill take it :-) i think im just gonna keep it standard and just wait for the bigger bike, cruiser style. I dont have the knowledge, ability or facilities to be messing about with stuff. The bikes great, if it aint broke....!

yes DT that is excellent thankyou, you really got stuck in!! :-) So are you saying that i need to keep my tyre width to tyre wall height ratio the same if i went for a fatter tyre? 3.50 = 100/90 would mean 100mm width and 90mm tyre wall height would it not? Not 75mm as in the quote below....

Cluld you expand on the sidewall ratio point?

Ok thanks very much DT!

Thanks guys , on the back is 3.50 16 4PR - was hoping to find out what these numbers refer to within the manual but no such luck So maybe best to get a wheel that could accomodate a wider tyre rather than squeeze one on the current rim?

How easy is it to put a fatter rear tyre on an SR125? Is it just a case of putting one on or do I have to adjust other aspects also? Is there even room for a fatter tyre? Apologies for the lame question, but you guys have prooved do be most decent fellas :-)

We can fly the SR125 flag... Prob bringing up the rear ha!

Really lookin forward to my first rideout!! Anything happening Easter weekend? Im hertfordshire way but have bike will travel!! (Might still be on L plates too)

Ive played Chinnerys in Southend many a time over the last ten years, filthy little rock club, just the way I like it :-)

How come noones replied to this yet? Is it L plate friendly? I know the route is but can anyone show up ? Could be my first ride out!

Hello, welcome, im quite new to this too, been riding an sr125 for a few months, I want to learn the mechanics but dont knwow enough yet. Thought id keep an eye on this thread for hints n tips along the way

Makes me think I should clean my carb! Cue up to the 'how to' youtube vids!

Yeeeah!

Thats pretty much what my sr125 does too. About 100-110 miles per tank. Im nearly 15 stone too!!

This looks awesome. Really impressive man!

Checked out those other bikes, thabks for the info! Whats the story with the Viagro then?!

Thats awesome, is that a 650? I sure hope I can call on you guys for advice when im buyin! Whats the equivelants of this from say Suzuki, Kawa or Triumph etc, and whats drawn you to these specifically?

Yup thats awesome!!

HELL YEEAH!!

I think a dragstar 650 would do me nicely!! Got any pics? Hit me up when you sell!! Im just in the process of swapping jobs, if all goes my way I want to be buying this year.

Great! Thanks for the info man! Looks like theres a road star and wild star too, but up in the 1600 engine sizes...

Im really into these bikes, since being on this forum ive looked into each bike that you've mentioned and these are totally the vibe im after! Is the XVS and XVS Dragstar the same bike or a variation on a theme etc? What other variations are there? Who owns these bikes? be really good to hear what you think of em!

I love this! I think I will be following suit with an XVS950. Looks smart... Maybe an XVS550 as it will be my first bike after my little learner 125SR
