Bagster seat cover

I have a '99 metallic blue and the blue on the seat cover didn't match the bike colour,although my tank cover is a perfect match. I ended up dying the blue part black which really looks good, so check the blue BEFORE fitting it.I used an electric staple gun and found the instructions easy to follow....

nitro lids

I have used a nitro N800 for over a year and have found it to be an excellent summer helmet with good interior ventilation and a removable lining.It has fitted very well and the padding still feels snug and when touring in France this year in +30 degree heat I really felt the benefit of the top vent...

Don't sound a good combination at all,but I've run a BT010 front with 020 rear using a 120 60 on the front for the last couple of months and found the front turns in quicker with the 120 60 which I had previously found to happen on a CBR

You won't regret buying a VTR 1000 but there are a couple of things that you should know. In 2001 they put on a bigger capacity tank (19 lt ) and gave the bike a lcd fuel gauge rather than a low fuel warning light. Those of us with pre 2001 bikes are only getting about 100 miles from a tankful. The ...

front tyre

8) been out all morning on new 120x 60 BT010 the front is definately turning in quicker than it was before. It makes the front seem a bit more lively on slower corners but at the same time the bike felt more settled in and out of the fast bends (90+) ....that's the only way I can describe it. I will...

Front tyre

I've just been offered free !! a new BT010 front to replace my shagged BT020 the only thing is it's a 120 x 60 does the lower side wall profile give sharper steering or am I heading for the hedge !!!
