    Hello from London- Suspension Question!

    I went with a Nitron rear shock and spring. More than happy with it except for the cheapo bracket they supplied for the reservoir mount. I replaced that with a couple of P clamps attached to my top box frame. I was familiar with Nitron for their quality work with Lotus.

    Anyone still here?

    I'm still here Blanchy. I was driving around your neck of the woods yesterday. A few weeks ago I I saw you and your bike on the M1 cruising into Wahroonga but again, I was in the cages didn't wave or nod.

    Nolan N87 Review

    I tried on an EC-spec N87 at the weekend after reading the WBW review. Good looking helmet but I couldn't get the chin strap to sit comfortably. Sizing also seemed a bit small. I take an L (with slightly loose fit) for my old Arai Vector and an M for my Bell. I had to go XL for the Nolan. If...

    Picked up a new toy

    Cool looking car. I'm guessing the Dodge marketing department doesn't know the various meanings of Scat (and I'm not talking Jazz vocals).

    Bar mounted phone holder?

    Go mad on the RAM mount website for their bits: RAM Mounts - Mobile Mounting Solutions for Phones, Tablets, Laptops, Camera & more For the power socket, look on eBay or your local electronic components or bike bits retailer. Twisted Throttle has this one: BikeMaster Dual USB Sockets with...

    Bar mounted phone holder?

    Ram ball mount on a bolt that replaces one of the bar raiser bolts, Short RAM arm, RAM X-mount. Separate but on the bars is a power outlet for 12v and USB. I connect the phone or SatNav using a short USB cable. It works quite well, even at 100mph. I like having the 12v outlet so I can run a...

    Looking for a footrest spring

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. Yamaha, in their wisdom, doesn't make it easy to pull the footrest assembly apart. The pin that goes through the footrest and spring is basically a long cold rivet and I'll have to grind or file it off. That still applies if I decide to buy those eBay footrests...

    Looking for a footrest spring

    The spring in my left footrest spring has broken :( Any of you guys who have changed your rearset or footrests interested in doing a deal? The parts catalogue doesn't show the spring by itself and I don't know how common they are.

    Dustin's Official 2016 Trip Report Thread

    Nice pics and write up. My memory of Fort Bragg is that it is a bit ugly. Go a little further south and stay at Mendocino. I remember staying at a nice motel just South of Mendocino in the early 00's. It was the first and only time I've ever seen hummingbirds. The motel owners had feeders out...
