I'm looking for a handlebar mounted phone holder so I can use it as a sat nav on my occasional adventures. I've looked around the Web but they all look rather flimsy? Most of them are just 4 prongs that grip the corners of the phone?
Ive never used one before but I was expecting something that covers the whole phone or at least clamps it in?  I just imagine going a bit fast or hitting a big bump and seeing my phone flying past me haha
So does anyone have any experience with them or make any recommendations as to which ones to look at?
Cheers

Anyone know where I can get a decent clear tank sticker/protector?
In the past (after much trial and error with cheap crap ones that peel off) i learnt to use motografix ones as once they are on, they are there forever and they are damn good quality too. Problem is they don't make a clear one. I already have one of the bike but it's starting to yellow and look scruffy so needs to go. Any recommendations?

Saw this on another forum and thought it could be interesting to see/ hear about some of the worst things you guys have ever seen done to a motorbike?

Pics are even better

Here's something to start......

Don't worry it's not a 'my indicators are flashing too fast post'
I'm wanting to replace the (quite frankly) fugly stock indicators but I don't want piddley little invisible ones..... which leads me onto my next point, is it worth getting l.e.ds?
A lot of the cheaper ones I've seen are almost invisible in daylight.
Does anybody have them fitted?
And if they are worth switching to then can anybody suggest some decent ones that aren't Chinese cack?
I do quite like these

Not the cheapest but don't mind paying money for quality stuff.
Any input would be great :-)

 I've just removed the passenger pegs from my gen 2 and fitted a nice exhaust hanger. Now the other side looks a bit naff so I just wondering if anyone knows of a kind of block of plate to cover the holes?
Maybe something with fz1 cut into it or something?

I'm trying to find out the standard length of a gen2 front brake lines if they come straight from the master?
Don't suppose one of you lovely foccers with a gen2 that has standard bars could measure them for me?  Or anyone know the length anyway?
I'm wanting to replace my current ones but I have Rizoma bars that are lower than the stock ones and the lines I have on are way too long but I don't know if they are for the fz1 or not. I don't want to buy another set that are too long haha

As some of you know I have a -2 front sprocket on my bike and as such my fuel economy is shocking (around 80-90miles from a full tank) so I'm looking whether Isles worth changing it out.
I'm looking at a 'track day' AFAM sprocket set which is -1 at the front and +1 at the back so it will keep the same level of acceleration.
What I'm wondering is would that be just as bad or would it improve the mpg?

Just doing some routine maintenance and thought I'd take the radiator cap off to have nose. Now I've never changed coolant before or even looked at it so I'm just wondering if this looks ok?
Seems really full, especially seeing as it's on the side stand in this pic?
Also it's a weird yellowy watery substance. Thought coolant was either blue or green?
What do you guys think?

Anyone have any recommendations for cleaning crap off of textiles? I went for a decent ride earlier and my jacket is absolutely caked in road grime/salt etc
I chucked it in the washer on the hand wash setting but doesn't seemed to have shifted anything?
I'm not sure I can put it on a hot wash so does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks

Just a quick question for those of us that need glasses for driving.
How do you get on with then on your bike??

I have had to wear glasses as long as I've been driving and in the car I wouldn't dare drive without them but for some reason on my bike I don't seem to bother. Mainly because I couldn't fit them in my first helmet and now I'm used to not having them on.

Anyway over the winter I noticed that at nighttime I'm now borderline blind without them so have been trying contact lenses out but for the life of me cannot get on with them 😥😥

So now I'm back to trying to wear glasses inside my helmet. I have the little grooves in this one (Shark Speed R) so they fit fine but they won't stop steaming up. Even with the visor open if I come to a standstill then within 3-4 breathes I'm completely blind. I managed to have them on for the 400 metre trip to the petrol station today then gave up completely when I tried to pull away and couldn't even see my speedometer.

I've tried some of the anti fog solutions that are designed for visors but they only seem to last a ride or 2 before losing effectiveness. I've also tried an old trick with washing up liquid with did well but didn't last more than 2 or 3 days.

So I'm guessing somebody must have some kind of solution to this that I'm not thinking of?

Hey guys I'm after a cheap Bluetooth thingy for my helmet. Nothing fancy just something that will connect to my phone/sat nav and communicate with another rider at close range.

I'm not one for wanting distractions while I ride so it won't be used for music, it's literally just to attach to my touring helmet for when me and my Dad go on longish trips (twice a year max).

I know there are brilliant units out there by sena etc but I can't justify the expense when it's going to see little to no use. On the other end of the scale I'm thinking the £30 Chinese things are gonna be crap.

So I'm just wondering if any of you have any experience with some of the cheaper models or could possibly recommend some?

Cheers

Does anyone know where I can get a full set of the bolts/screws for the rear caliper on a gen 2?
The previous owner decided in all his wisdom to paint the whole caliper without taking it apart and now all the bolts look crappy so I'm wanting to replace all of them with nice new stainless ones. So If anybody could point me in the direction of either the size info or a place I could buy them that'd be great.
Thanks

Just wondering if anyone actually uses these?

I've never used one with any aftermarket exhaust but recently had a leak and just used exhaust paste which has done the job but it's not perfect. Just wondering if it's worth picking one up?  And if so will yhe standard one work with an akrapovic link pipe?
