How do you all find them?


Do you feel safe or vulnerable?


Itching for a pair similar to link, not sure which ones but I suppose I need some feedback before splashing out!


Cheers in advance 

Hiya fellas,


Looking to change my daily ride from a '98 Tiger to an 05 Triumph Sprint (mate selling and it's mint). Trouble is I've never got on with clip ons so would be looking to change the bars to give a similar riding position to the Fazer.


Never done this before so any advice welcome. Would be looking to have the bars no wider than a standard Fazer boxeye.


Any ideas if this is a good move.....rough cost?


Cheers in advance for any help.

My boy who's 9 was scouted by Reading FC yesterday and invited to train at their Academy. Chuffed to bits doesn't come close. Proud of him and really pleased for him 

Hiya fellas,


Hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction.


22nd October I bought, on a whim, a Schuberth C3 from Infinity Camberley for £400. Was going to wait for the show but couldn't resist.


Anyhow, the helmet leaked at the top and the visor had massive amounts of condensation, including ON the pinlock insert itself - no condensation between pinlock and visor so was sealing good. Took it back the following week, explained it all and they fitted a new pinlock and added some Silicone around the visor seal - next day, no more leaks but still condensation all over the inside including pinlock....this is with the chin and roof vents fully open. Popped back again to be told it would have to go back to Tranam who it seems supplied the helmet to Infinity and are probably the UK importers.


The guy told me he couldn't get much done the following week due to the NEC show - "not a problem" says I, I'm going Wednesday so will take it with me. Before I went, I took a short video on me phone one night to show them the issues.


Gets to the show, shows them video ("never seen that before" says Mr Tranam & the manager of Camberley branch) and explains it all - helmet has to go back to Schuberth as expected.


I get the helmet back yesterday and Schuberths answer is "Nowt wrong with the helmet, the pinlocks absord moisture so you need to carry a spare with you - obviously the pinlock is not drying out enough overnight." I explained that reasoning was complete bollox but agreed to give it another go.


Knowing it would still be shite, I strap the box with my old helmet to bike and go for the 7 mile to Infinity Camberley (raining). Gets there and sure enough can barely see through the visor.


Had a chat with manager who would not commit to refund saying he would have to talk to Tranam due to "a 2nd hand helmet being no good to him".... I explained as politely as possible how much use it was to me. Result is he will call Monday after speaking with Tranam..


Now....my way of understanding the law is that my contract is with Infinity and not some friggin importer! They have also attempted to fix the issue in the shop and its been sent back to the manufacturer so to me, they've had their chances to fix it and failed. This in my mind equals helmet not fit for purpose and money back please.


Can anyone advise any further on where I stand with this issue and any consumer rights I can hit Infinity with should they refuse a refund on Monday.


Any help as always is much appreciated  [size=78%] [/size]

Hiya fellas,


As per title, are these any good & a worthwhile investment.


The last few days running up to London & back with the Tiger, I've noticed it getting that little bit slower to turn over each start - to work and from work.


I always run with the headlights on (dual H4's) and have also been using the heated grips each way. Now the battery is about 14 months old & it's charging at 14Vdc so alternator all good.  The battery is made by GS and is a CB14L-A2 (short notice buy from local KTM dealer) which meets my CCA of 140A.


Question is - is it time for a new battery or should I be plugging into an Optimate or equivalent every night.


Don't want to buy a new battery @ £50 odd when I can get the below for less money. Orrrrrrrr did I just buy a cheap shite battery instead of a Yuasa?

Any advice as always is much appreciated

A brand new Schuberth C3    from Infinity Camberley.

It's a cracking helmet - no more rain down the inside of the visor, comfy as hell with excellent fit, top notch ventilation which works a treat and its quiet as fook. Best £390 ive spent in a long time.


And i still didn't get any chain lube  [size=78%] [/size]

As per title really fellas,


Have a Caberg V2R Chrono which to be honest is shite :- too noisy and the visor leaks from the top. Will replace soon but in the meantime I need to find a way to remove the anti fog coating. This is a relatively new visor and bought to replace a badly scratched (outside) one.


The pin lock never worked so that soon got binned (had a Caberg Ego before with same pinlock/leak issues....long story, back to Caberg factory etc with no joy).


After the rain running down the inside, I had no option but to wipe clear the marks left behind. This has made it worse and looks like someone has hacked one up and spread it over the inside surface. Lost count of the number of times I've tried to clean it with a V Wipe spong & Fairy liquid - just can't shift it.


Any ideas how to clean it off so I can fit a fog city sticky insert like I've had before. Any advice much appreciated fellas 

As per title really fellas - any good tips on getting my helmet to look good for the ladies again!


To me its just a paint job with a clear laquer (i think) so in my eyes no different to a car. 500ish miles a week of motorway and London has taken its toll (8 months old and 17k miles covered) even though it gets a wipe over every day (still trying to get one of the girls to spit on it and rub it but no takers yet for some reason  [size=78%]).[/size]


Anyone using regular car polish? Was planning on using my car method of the 3-stage Meguirs (Clean, Polish, Wax)........or is this a big no no!


Any advice appreciated in advance .


Cheers

Hiya fellas,


Picked up a '00 FZS6 while my Tiger 900 was side lined for a while. Love the little Fazer, cracking bike for commuting & scratching. Got a few questions which I will add all over the site and looking forward to a good laugh at the same time


Cheers
