Thanks. Fairly sure the original wasn't Chinese, but strange perhaps for the black plastic surround to just break. Then I rode over it. Anyway, thanks, Bay of E had one and I got that at a good price. Mint and not Chinky.

Motorcycle Sport & Leisure - Touring on a Street Rally. Page 72 of February issue - Just sayin'...

Hi - Am after a whole headlight unit for a '15 model, if any one has one... I don't like to look of the Chinese ones on Ebay! :/

Hi - I see that most/all posts about using a ZX10 rear shock. Can anyone please tell me if newer versions can be used? For example, 2010-2015. Thank you. :)

These have now been sold. Thanks to all for looking in. :)

Hi - I have for sale a pair of genuine Yamaha soft panniers(and bars) with a genuine Yamaha luggage rack. £160 including postage to anywhere within the UK mainland. Photos on request as I don't think my dumb arse MacBook lets me post them... Thanks. :)

Over the last few years I have stayed at the following hotels across Europe. All I can recommend. My bike has been safe at all, yet sometimes parked right outside on the road. Here goes... Hotel Restaurant Adler, Bahnhofstrasse 101, 08468 Reichenbach im Vogtland, East Germany. - He closes the...

Hi - Just been looking around, thinking I need to return to a twin as I find the MT-09 closer to a four. I have had a couple of KTMs but am short and they are basically just too big for me. Looking at the BMW R9T, it ticks several boxes, but I'd like to know how well it would perform for, say, a...

I find I never need more than two fingers over the brake and probably cover it most of the time, definitely when I'm crapping it. However, that said, when just bumbling around, will often just use one finger to brake. I am using after-market stubby little levers. As for the clutch, I can pull it...

Opened this thread with sole purpose of recommending Simon from S-Tec. Glad to see you've been Simon-ed! Cracking re-map!

Interesting reading, all of the above. They are surely there to slow us down, not catch us discreetly. Same old argument. Fund raising. Last week I was riding through Germany, a static camera flashed in my face, so I smiled knowing I was safe...Except I wasn't. A mile or so up the road a police...

Am so excited that I have to tell someone, so its you lot. Leaving for two days ride to the MotoGP race at Sachsenring from Harwich on Wednesday evening on my '15 Street Rally. Just been re-mapped to perfection by Simon ([email protected]). Cherry on the top is that I shall be in the VR46...

Hi - Just to ram it home...I had another re-map for my '15 Street Rally from Simon last week before a few days zipping around Wales. This has transformed my bike entirely. Up until then, I hated the snatchy throttle at closed to open, so rode around in B mode mostly, switching to STD or A only...

Hi - Although I'd only had the bike a few days when I went to Simon, it became more smooth throughout the rev range and less of a snatch at initial throttle. As for fuel consumption, I have no idea. Occasionally I scroll through the dash menu to find the average consumption, but don't believe...

Thank you very much for that. Confirmed all that I needed to know. :)

Hi - Can anyone please point me in the right direction for recommended replacement chain/sprockets, and where amongst my bike's paperwork where I can bloody find sizes of all!?

Hi - I have a Street Rally and would like a small screen, but can't find any either, ok or that will fit. So would like to try and modify a Yam one to fit over the existing plastics, but really don't want to splash out the exorbitant price for a new one without knowing how it may fit. Am...

Christ, I am thick! Wasn't thinking of rain running down the sleeves, just being blown up the sleeve from the glove! Less rain on the glove than the sleeve of course. I'm so used to just getting soaked all over that I haven't cared or thought about it very much before. Currently I am using...

Thanks for that, Steely. Can't stand faffing around, and gauntlet gloves get the rise out of me. Shall persevere...or maybe get a neoprene cuff sewn into jacket. Sounds all very boring but I've become fed up with carrying wets and trying to decided when best to bloody put them on! Always get it...

Hi - Can anyone recommend some waterproof textile gloves with a large gauntlet opening please? The sleeves of my textile jacket are quite wide at the hand end and, although I can tighten them with the velcro strap, they still scrunch up a lot of fabric. I have tried on several pairs of gloves at...
