I managed to put them on, but they hold on to the fork with just one small bit of double sided tape, will not bother with a refund but will replace them shortly with something a bit more decent. cheers Joe

thanks mate I think they are the one, I wrote to Highway hawk and they promptly responded they said you need to glue them on, what a joke..... thanks for replying. Joe

Hi long time no post has anyone fitted Highway Hawk fork cones on the 650 Classic, I can't seem to make them fit ??? thanks Joe

Did not cross my mind to clean with WD40 will try that, so far I have only touched them with a dry cloth nothing else but some friends told me to use wire wool which sounded wrong to me ( thanks god) we don't really have road Salt issues here in Malta, nor do I ride in wet weather ( just to keep the bike clean) again it does not rain as much here, but still the spokes get so dirty and they still loose the plated surface as I have seen on other bikes. Will give it a shot with WD40 this evening. cheers Joe

Anyone has some good advise on cleaning spokes without too much hassle I can't seem to get them shinning and they do get so dirty.... cheers Joe

Stu thanks will check them out Joe

Bobbitch thanks, regret they don't ship outside the UK, in fact when I needed the saddle bags I had to go via third parties.

Anyone can advise on good on-line shops that sell original Star Yamaha chrome accessories for the 650 classic. I always tend to get from the US but now with the Dollar Vs Euro and with the UK Vat going to 15% I think I will have to reconsider 

In my case if I could change the fuel tank and mudguards to chrome I would, albeit I don't like the cleaning bit cheers

I was about to say the same thing why would one want carbon fibre on a cruiser, thought that the more chrome the merrier hehe

thanks saw it read it but too complicated for me, I guess my mechanic who charged through my nose will have to sort out, albeit i did increase the idle rev a bit and it feels much better.

you can get pull back risers for any size in fact I need a 1inch riser and 1inch pullback eventually, suggest you measure cables etc before you decide in case you don't get enough pullback. There are also various sized bars but I still think you would need risers. Joe

i did some good riding over the weekend, they are bloody loud, ye did find the baffles, I am not touching unless someone tells me how to put in something better to quiet them down, according to my OH I have f....up the bike hehe Performace wise I am not happy either after rejetting and putting on the HC the bike seems faster on acceleration but have to shift more frequent, doesn't feel like a cruiser anymore......and yes the vibration is another killer although now at least I am not feeling the terrible vibration on reaching 100k ( kilometers) now it is vibrating all along heheh Cheers

Ok silly question coming up how can I tell if my brand new V&H cruzers have baffles or not ? they are bloody loud...

I have been strongly advised not to use Autosol but something lighter and les abrasive..........starting from the yammi dealer to my mates........
