My bike has shorty after market levers fitted. I don't like them and would like to put original levers back on. Would anybody would like to swap or sell me standard ones.

I have a 2014 Rear Shock which was removed when new and replaced by an Ohlins. I'm having a clear out (House Sale) Not wanting anything for it but whoever wants it has to pay postage

I've not been on my bike for 18 months after a minor heart attack. I've had 3 stents fitted and up till now didn't feel fit enough to get back on a bike. I'm feeling better now and with the weather slowly improving in the NE of Scotland thought I would have a look over the bike. During the...

Having a clearout. Original exhaust removed when new by previous owner who got an Akrapovic fitted. Offers plus postage.

Having a clearout. Sargent Seat from my 2013 MT09. Excellent condition. It has the DTX Grippy Cover rather than the Carbon effect as I found with the original I was sliding around with my waterproofs on. I'm looking for £250 ono plus postage.

Thanks Folks, it's given me a few ideas

I was fitting a GIVI Rack to my 2014 MT-09 today. Whilst putting the bike back together I noticed that where the Indicators and Tail Tidy number plate light wiring goes through there are quite large holes. I'm in the NE of Scotland and it rains a lot! We all know useless the rear Hugger is for...

"And is there anyone who's dose a tail tidy to fit number plate up by rear light" Hi Corsasri, I have a 2014 MT-09 and it was fitted with an R&G Tail Tidy when new and looks smart. Only issue I would say is there quality. I was removing my Renntec Grab Rail this weekend and saw that the paint...

I had an accident end of last year and my bike was written off. I managed to get a replacement bike and it came with a lot of extras including a Renntec Grabrail. I swapped the original seat for a Sargent seat which I kept from my old bike. Unfortunately I didn't notice that with the grabrail...

My Insurance money eventually came through and as luck would have it this came up locally. Same age and mileage as my old one, it's a 2014 but not ABS. Has a lot of extra bits. Akro exhaust, Screen, Shorty Levers, Powerbronze Bellypan, Renntec Grabrail, Tail Tidy, Radiator Guard and an Ohlins...

I think I can safely say the adrenalin has subsided. I was telling a biker friend what has happened and we both mused how extraordinary life is. As mentioned in a previous post a few weeks ago I did a trip to the West Coast with 16 other bikes. The weather and the roads were fantastic and we...

Thanks for the advice folks. The drivers insurance company phoned me directly and admitted full liability and the police charged him with driving without due care and attention so hopefully the claim will go smoothly. I'm with Carole Nash and have Legal Cover so hopefully will be able to at...

Thanks. Maybe I didn't make it clear. I was on the main road and he intially stopped at the junction after the two in front of him had already pulled out. I had already spotted him and slowed down. He then decided to pull out and stop in the road as you can see in the picture. I tried to go...

Didn’t get very far with my run today! Car pulled out in front of me at the Toll of Burness Junction just a couple miles North of Ellon (Aberdeenshire) Nearly got round him. Saw the two cars in front of him pull out so I backed off and sure enough he pulled out and once he saw me, stopped in...

Did you remove the filler neck? If so how does it come out. Don't fancy drilling in situ leaving metal swarf in the tank. I'm off to the West Coast of Scotland in a couple of weeks and might need that extra 0.8 litres
