Dare I ask how much this very necessary work is likely to cost?

Good for you. I followed a suspension adjustment guide form a well known magazine on my old kwakker. The bike was transformer, turned like the tyres were razor thin, great composure in the corners twice as accurate, until you hit a bump at which point it the rear end would try and spit you out of th...

Ha, thats made my day!

you could have a look at these guys, I've never bought from them myself but recall they used to do complete kits for specific bikes.

which should take some of the pain out of things.

They all look a little young to be harley owners. Maybe a Dragstar apiece. Whomever at Yamahoho thought that was a good name for a bike needs a kicking.

Is that just chaps or will have jeans on underneath? Can I hear YMCA in the background?

young Lewis is a very talented fella . . . but which other leading sports 'personality' can you name who's seemingly incapable of making a public appearance without his effin father? WTF is the ITV's obsession Anthony Hamilton? why would he be of any interest to anyone beyond his immediate family? ...

Think native American.

you could still have renthal bars with 'blade stanchions. In fact renthal bars with any forks. Thats the advantage of building a special. However i would suggest that if you find a suitable set of forks and yokes then you don't have to worry so much about wheel spacers, caliper fittings and wheels e...

be fine until it goes pop. Not that I'm jaded or anything from my experience with a speed triple :mad2 .

I did something similar last year involving a myopic prck who couldn't even be bothered to stop after he clipped me. Anyway, I was slightly less lucky than you as I dented the tank also. I've elected to ride it around 'grazed' until it comes time to sell. You may have to take the DS approach for the...

got to be happy with that then. Microns are much better quality.

I can see how an optimiser helps but as I ride mine virtually every day you would think it wouldn't need one. Park it up most nights at 7.30pm and then start it the next day at around 6.30am. Anyway, the battery is now as flat as a witch's preverbial so the optimiser will be on this evening anyway. ...

Anyone else having trouble starting in the mornings? Yeah, although I'm much better after a cuppa. :mrgreen: its very odd. somewhat frustrating as I ended up getting the train in today which as a potential one off is a very expensive way to travel, I guess this is what is referred to as 'character'.

fugging cold.

Anyone else having trouble starting in the mornings? Fine when its warmer, even when its wet, just crap in the cold.

Also is the firestorm susceptible to carb icing? Had a couple of less than fun moments with it cutting out towards the start of my ride into work.
