That's cool. Damn clean too. Nice.

can you imagine the look when someone finally tells them ..... brilliant

Ah ha! Beamish I think you may have the perfect fix right there. Them's nice. Thank you for that I reckon I'll give them a go.

A nice selection of bikes you have there Swagger :thumbup: I bet the XT1200Z makes for a nice ride now the colder spell is almost with us. Chris. Thank you for that. I do appreciate that I'm very fortunate to have them. They will be with me for a good while and they'll be very heavily used. I do ab...

.... they can fetch 100 on egay - have fun trying to find a reasonably priced one! I don't mind the cost ... I just don't want to buy a naff one with similar issues to mine. I knew that I'd need to replace mine when I bought the bike. It's not critical but I'd like to make it look good. I'll probab...

Or may be not

It'll be difficult to photograph but I'll give it a go. I think I'm asking the question as to whether Firestorm headlights corrode or generally degrade from the inside. If not, and I can't see why they would, I can buy a secondhand one without fear of getting a similarly f*cked up variant. This bike...

My headlight has weird marks on the reflector .... the black internal bit at the front also has marrks on it. Looks like something has been rolling around inside ... looks real second hand. Question. Has anyone else got a similar marks? I'd like to get a second hand one off of ebay but am nervous th...

Right me lads. I'm gonna get some pattern part units. Trouble is there are two types. Some that are the size of the OEM's and some that are a little more slender. My sense of order goes for the slender ones. Does anyone have them are they OK?

Oh I dont think so! There's no such thing as too many bikes ... you're welcome to try them if you get over this way.

Seriously, if you have any kind of ability re airfix modelling give the Plastech and ABS plastic sheeting a go. You can achieve brilliant results.

If the tab has broken on the body panel you could build a very professional repair using 'Plastech' products. It's not actually a structural fixing point so as was said you could dog it.

Good man. Put it down to experience. I know how unpleasant being duped can be but there are positives to be had from it. Hope you get it confirmed that it's the full power version. Enjoy making it your own. Now get out there and ride it and have fun. Good luck and keep smiling.

That's a similar concept to the MT-01 .... big air cooled V Twin in a very capable frame. I like that look a lot.

There .... had some of the bikes out for a play yesterday. Here's me favouite one at the moment. Going out again now for a play in a minute.
