Thanks for the replies guys

What's the total mileage on the bike? Is it still on the original rear shock? Two-up with luggage is obviously no problems as long as the rear shock still has some life left in it, but if it's getting a bit tired (and original ones are pants) I'd change it. A Hagon's shock would do as a more budget option, or obviously there's the R6 shock conversion, Nitron etc if you wanted something a little better, and have the money to spare.
Forgot to mention I had the R6 shock mod done last year aswell

purplebear7 where abouts on the island are you ? the ferry was 320 euro return (would be much cheaper with a Residency Certificate) staying on the island for two weeks and taking 3 days to travel each way

So last year we decided to ride from Yorkshire to Mallorca and after talking to various people I opted to get the bike fettled. Fitted new throttle cables clutch cable, plugs chain sprockets and brakes , oil and filter changed
and a pair of metzeler z6 roadtec , we covered around 2,500 miles and haven't ridden much since after having a shoulder op. My question is, As we are going to do it again this july would I get away with just the oil and filter change, the tyres look barely worn in but as its fully loaded two up on hot rds I don't know if I should change before we go. But then again surely you should get 6k out of a pair of tyres if you don't ride like Rossi shouldn't you ?

General / CBT info
« on: 25 October 2014, 05:18:05 pm »
Hi, anyone know if there's a maximum number of pupils per instructor for a CBT road ride, a mate of mine went for his today and at lunch time the ignition key for his scooter he was riding disappeared (which he left in his glove in the unit). They said they didn't have a spare key for it and he couldn't ride the other scooter because he wasn't used to it ??? so they've told him to come back Thursday and bring extra money to pay for a new lock set for the scooter.

He's wondering if he's been stitched up as there were five pupils and only two instructors.

Not sure how old the OP's bike is, but I was told my 2003 could be left in Spain and effectively written off if I had to have it recovered back the my home in the uk as the costs could out way the value of the bike ...

just something else to consider

Motorcycle direct want another £30 off me to change my address mid policy , but no policy reduction for keeping the bike in the back garden as opposed to parked on main road..... I so want to say fuck it I wont bother ... but no doubt my conscience will get the better of me....

Went for the R6 shock .... wish id done it ages ago , I'm no Rossi but the ride is transformed and two up is a delight not a dread (well apart from having the wife on the back)

Took mine out today for the first time today after fitting the shock. FUCK ME what a difference was two up me and our lass are no light weights but the bike felt like we'd lost a few stone compared to stock.

If your dithering about wondering if you should or shouldn't do this mod just do it , you wont regret it.

Thanks Luke , oh and I notice now you get a shit load of sexy yellow ones in ....  :'(

Cheers guys, like the sound of the shotgun lock seems like a good deterrent.
Shotgun would be useful too if you catch the scrotes trying to nick it...

If your meaning a gear position indicator, I put the acumen dg8 on mine with a plug n play loom. doesn't take long to fit just plug in the back of your speedo and find somewhere to mount the little display.

Can anyone recommend a quick release tank bag system about the same size as a Baglux Alpha, and are there any draw backs to them ?
