Re: Crash bobbins - which ones do you rate?
Cheers for the answer, you have touched on some of my concerns in your discussions., [like the possibility to save a section of the faring, but damage the frame]. And your comment about hitting your knee looks a valid concern based on the side view. Your photos have me asking 2 more unrelated questi...

Crash bobbins - which ones do you rate?
Looking to fit some crash bobbins to save the body work if the worst happens, but some of the ones I have seen look more cosmetic than structural. Whos got them and how do you rate them for strength, ease of fitting, looks etc? And if some one has been unfortunate enough to test them, I would like t...

Re: AMQ46's storm
whats the bike ride like with the wp shock :?: Its a fairly basic emulsion type shock from WP with only rebound damping adjustment [12 clicks] not the top of the range fully adjustable. But it has adjustable ride height [so no need for spacers] and I had it valved and sprung for my weight by Revs R...

AMQ46's storm
Slight bit of pimping today! No not just giving it a damn good wash after the France trip, or taking off all the duct tape that I used to make sure the paniers dont scuff the paint. I also fitted the Moriwaki style belly pan.............Very pleased with the way it looks, just need to add some white...

Re: Maybe a VTR owner
My god!!..........I just looked at the web page on the RD! that was a labour of love , or complete madness. Did you do that or did you buy it like that? the world needs more people who think like that! I have a mate up in scotland who thinks the air cooled RD400 is the ideal starting point for a dra...

Re: Maybe a VTR owner
My thoughts as well.........Get the storm and keep the stroker as well! you can never have enough toys, and that one looks like it has had some serious mods done, shame to let it go.Beamish wrote:Could you not have kept the RD? That looks like a great bike.
Can I have it to add to my collection?

Re: It's Goody!
Had a KDX E2 as my first greenlane bike, and I wish I had kept it! only fault it had was it would eat through the gears on the LH side powervalve with vibration. before I sold it I ended up fitting a steel gear in place of the aluminium cast part, that seemed to work. Had it tuned great for the lane...

Re: Firestorm touring conversion - long range tank
Got me safe for 150 miles on a tank, but only needed it once on a sunday when the little village petrol stations were shut in France.
Was a bit worried that the ferry people would make a fuss, but had no problem other than swinging my leg over all that lot in sweaty leathers without falling over!

Firestorm touring conversion - long range tank
As my riding companions were all on BMW GS1200's, FJR1300, ZZR1200, I was getting a bit worried that my fuel range would leave me stranded at the roadside.

Re: It's Goody!
Goody mate, It looks like we have at least 3 hobbies in common and nearly 3 bikes in common! Looks like the trials bike is a beta rev3, that was my first one [till the mains went] and my green lane GG is a 200, and you have the 300. and I am guessing there is a Firestorm in the collection or you wou...

Re: France, many speed traps once away from the ports?
Just came back from France last night after a long week end of "making progress" on the back roads of Normandy & Brittany. As Timbo ponted out, if there is a static camera, it is preceded with the sign in his photo and the camera was always about 500yds after the sign but could be on e...

Re: 2009 summer meetup.
I would be interested in the trip North. I need an excuse to get back up that way on my bike, and would be good to put a few faces to the names on here. Would need to fit the dates round Music Festivals [going to see the Damned and Joe Jackson at Cornbury in July], Bike trip to Brittany with a load ...
