Hey Garyb, how did you find the weight reduction affected performance???, has it increased the mpg figures? Also, would you like to purchase a full set of Blue silicone coolant hoses from me £150.Also - what engines did you have in those sun loungers in the background
Booked it in for next Weds to have this little glitch looked at, so hopefully it'll be sorted ready for Ivanising time. Went to Swindon for a bite and a cuppa, nearly home when I noticed my bike was nodding at everyone Got home to find one of the main fairing bracket bolts had fallen out! So every time I hit a bump, the whole fairing literally nodded up and down! Fortunately there are two bolts, one above the other, so it was still firmly secured to the bike. Didn't have a suitable bolt in the garage, so went to the local stealers, who came up with what I needed. I think I'll have to go over all the chassis nuts and bolts to make sure there are no other little surprises like that waiting for me.

Ya know, "Make sure your fairing won't fall off" is a Yamaha recommended pre-ride check!!
Made it a bit lighter!
put some foam under the black bits on the inner fairing to stop the worlds most annoying buzz at certain RPMs. quick ride out and all is well

2 wheels, steel body - pulled by 33hp? What exactly is it you need to put in a trailer? (if it's not a personal question of course). Have you really thought this thing through? I have moments of confusion in my life, but this....
Seen me heading for home with panniers?!? The bluddy bags are wider than my bars, and make it handle like a tractor!!

I genuinely dont know - no experience of riding with a trailer in tow.
