ACF-50. It's the only way to go! Had my bikes treated for the last couple of years, this stuff is worth its weight in gold. Downpipes look like new still. I had three bits of metal in my garden for three weeks, one with nothing on it, one treated with 365 weekly, one with one treatment of acf. Even ...

Xbox- pah! Anyone with ps3?

I see a lot here have x-box, anyone using ps3?
I'm sad enough to be one of them, (i'm not going to slag off the x-box, not going there!) but love it!

LBP and GTA iv so far, loving the online stuff!
Hope to see you there?

Check all the other fuses as well! Plus make sure the battery terminals are done up properly, v-twins regularly shake them loose!

Also check the connection to your starter motor for rust and coming loose, same with the earth strap.

That's all the most obvious ones, but then I'm no electrical boffin!

Hi again, I must be like a bus, no posts for years then three in a day! Acceleration wise, the storm always 'feels' faster. That's probably the most politically correct way to post it on here! The kwak will put your eyeballs further back in the head though once it gets its stride. We've had them bot...

Hah! that's what I sold my storm for! Lots of grunt with the 9, obviously not quite as torquey but like you say, top speed...! The low down grunt of the 9 was what made it a viable alternative to the storm. Both capable bikes, but, and I'm sure this will please most on here, the storm wins the grin ...

You have to! I ran up around 30-40k on my storm doing the commute, track days, general ragging. Couldn't fault it at all. Petrol consumption on the motorways not that much different from most things, it's when you wring it it gets expensive! The difference between the fazer and a storm is huge. I've...

You can at least get an amber pinlock for it if not the visor?

Sounds like you've got a Monokey system, male connector on box= monolock. Male connectors on rack= monokey.
E250 plate should do it.

NWS was an engineering company who moved from hugger production to other things. Pyramid bought all the equipment to continue making their huggers. And yes, GRP is far better, less flexible than ABS, but always seems to work better on a bike. Also the NWS ones seem to fit a treat as well. Kev is rig...
