What I don't get is that if a veggie comes round for tea they expect you to knock up a veggie meal to suit them, :b , but if you go round a veggie's house they won't knock up steak and chips to suit you, doesn't seem fair really.

Thanks for the replies fellas, still haven't made my mind up though.

Have you tried the MRA Varioscreen


I had one on mine when brought, I'm 6'2" and found standard screen was better, it came with bike so cost nothing to compare them both.
No matter how I adjusted it, it didn't work for me.
It might be good for you though.
Good luck with the work, summer is coming :-)
Haven't tried it yet mate but I've got a Puig double bubble as well as the original so hopefully one will do the trick. I had a Varioscreen on my  Varadero and that was pretty good but had one on my new model crossrunner and that was a complete waste of money. Need a bit of decent weather for some experiments.

I'm after full givi pannier mounting Monokey  kit (not boxes) Beowulf rad. guard. Black Ultra low renthals and bar, set of Yamaha frame crash protector slider thingys[size=78%]. North East England so I can pick them up preferred. Nothing tatty please.[/size]

Got a few things now so I've updated my list.

Anybody fitted these to their Gen. 1  or does everyone go for the ultra low bars. If you have fitted either did you keep the old cables and hoses. First decent ride on my 1000 at the weekend (after the 3 w s, waiting for it, work and weather) and the original bars are proper sh1te, not sure who they were designed to fit but it certainly wasn't a 5ft. 10 bloke with normal elbows. I definitely need less sweep, maybe a bit more height and a little bit closer to me I reckon? Apart from that, and the weather, what a lovely bike to ride.
All info. gladly received.
Cheers Gents.

107
Still after the MRA Varioscreen, givi pannier holders, radiator guard, frame crash thingys and a big dose of riding skill if anyone is stripping their bike for sale or has some surplus.
Cheers

Yes mate, brand new set still in the wrapper, haven't fitted it yet due to something called work getting in the way.

I've given up giving up because when I give up I realise that I miss what I have given up so I un-give up. So the answer is don't give up.

115
I've got a black bellypan with brand new OE fitting kit knocking about. Was going to put it on ebay. If you're interested make me a reasonable offer.
Hello Dazza, £80 including Royal Mail postage (I live near my local depot).
Yes, that's reasonable if you pay by paypal gift. PM me your delivery details and I'll PM you my email address for Paypal.
Right mate, I'll have a go at this pm thing, can you get back to me if I fail please.

300+ miles form Somerset, I used to live in Yeovil  so  a bit far to travel to look at a cheap bike really. Good luck with your search mate.

Fazer wanted for me to use to commute and ride out close to somerset. Money needs to be close to £1500 but anything considered. The sooner the better as i am starting a new job this month and travelling by car is not n option.

What is out there???????????
hello mate. Thinking about selling my 600 due to imminent arrival of a 1000, situated near Newcastle, where abouts do you live 2002 £1350.

I had a vario on my Varadero and it was pretty good but had one on my new model Crosssrunner (expensive mistake that bike was) and it was a complete waste of money.

I've got a vario, love it. How's the bike feller, all good I hope?  :)
Hello Ogri, you've got a grey one, my favourite colour scheme. Still waiting for it at the moment, Owen has a lot of work on so I won't be able to get it until the back end of next week, quite refreshing to deal with a shop that won't rush something through to get a bike out of the door. I'm in no rush because it's still cold up here so whatever suits Owen and the delivery company is good with me.  It's hard work not buying stuff for it 'cos I don't want to tempt fate, a few wanted adverts hitting the forum soon hopefully.
