There are some obvious "clicks' on here. And it is quite UK biased. I hang around a few of the FB sites but not to much. There does seem to be an amount of "in the know" chatter but as many of you UK riders ride together that is to be expected. The search engine is not brilliant so wh...

Thats why I was thinking of a rubber liner. How much bigger did it make it? Would like to fit a couple of small drink bottles and maybe a small jacket.

Has anybody cut out or modded the black tray under the seat? Looks to be a stack of room under it that could be used for storage. Well on mine as it has an aftermarket undertray. What im thinking is to just cut it out after the little rise after the battery and line the top of the undertray. Maybe w...

Ask to get it back. Ive got my girls one and will make something out of it when she is well enough to go back riding.

For me its worse as I have an aftermarket under tray so the key is under the the bike.

yes i have lost the keys a few times.....

Haha cheers. The only things I'm worried about are my rearsets and getting in people's way! My RC8 dreams are on the back burner as they need costly servicing every 5 mins :thumbdown: For track all you need is the suspension set close and good tyres. Dont worry about getting knees down etc. Just ri...

Sorry that should be 1000ks.

A mate wants me to do a 1000 mile ride with him in 24 hours. I need to carry some luggage, water, food etc. What have folk done to there Hawks for comfort? Am thinking an Airhawk seat under a sheepskin I have but that may move around a bit much. And thinking lowering my pegs for this ride and traini...

Legit idea though. Problem is most of our bikes are raised. Good way to get rid of some weight as well.

Can you just plug in a normal ICM?

Problem is more where to put the filters i would have thought.

Wow, that paint is reacting badly to something on that rim.

I ran a gutted air box for a year with external filters and found even with them covered up like tony says they get blocked so as long as you clean them there fine . Just treat them as a serviceable item and all is good Filters for the carb diaphragm you mean? At this stage they will remain stock a...

Was out last night on a little trip round and found a car on the wrong side of the road what would you do I chose the hedge bikes busted a little and I well i am okay. to top it of the driver didnt stop drunk texting no idea Good on you. You did the right thing. Glad you are ok. Bikes can be fixed....

Yep, it works perfectly well, with one suggestion- use clear hose. You will be able to see any emulsion that builds up if you ride in wet weather. To combat this, I cut a clear lid from an aerosol can to fit over the filter and keep it from road spray. Ideally you fit a catch tank tee piece at the ...
