Front is also a BT 023 but nothing wrong with it so plan to keep that on for a while. was leaning towards the T30 as would be a closer 'match' to the 023 on the front. probably one of them silly trails of thought to keep tyres same brand when in reality probably no benefit keeping same tyres.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Pirelli Angel GT tyres, anyone tried them?
« on: 14 June 2014, 06:56:15 pm »
Currently have a Bridgstone BT 023 on the rear of my thou and will need to be replaced soon.
I had intended to get a Bridgstone T30 put on in the next few weeks but recently been hearing about this new Pirelli Angel GT tyre. Just wondered if it was worth a go? Is much different to the T30?

Or any other tyre I should consider? I only tend to go out for evening and weekend blasts. Hardly ever commute and tour once or twice a year so bike is more a toy so prefer a sporty tyre over a long lasting tyre.

thanks,

Yes not a problem

Hi Paul,

Should just be a straight swap for OEM flasher.
Located behind battery in the middle.

At 6 euros it's probaby as easy to do individual orders rather than messing about with distribution and payments, let us know when you have some ready to go, I definately want one.

fair point.. I guess it depends on the locations of people. If I had say 3 people locally who wanted one it would be worth it.

Hi all,

Recently purchased this but just not for me. It looks like a good quality cover and has no rips or tears etc.
Looking to get back what I paid £60 if possible.
I put it next to the standard seat as a comparison (standard seat not for sale)

Would rather collection due to size and weight but I can stick in a backpack or in the car and meet if no too far.
Or at buyers cost can post but I would guess it has to be around £10 or so for postage.

Many thanks,
Fuzz

Looks very nice, good luck with the sale.

Hi Christian,

I did not expect you to join the forum lol.. But you will be a very welcome addition I am sure of that.

Now I know you are an independent seller and probably only making minimal profit from your multi-gauge. The last thing I would want you to do is make a loss on selling to us. But is there some kind of way you could get multiple units to the UK reducing the cost?

Either way, when you do have stock in let me know because I will have one regardless.  :D

thanks,
Fuzz

Rack now sold. cheers for meeting me Flak, hope you had a safe ride home.

87
I have decided to remove the Givi plate as I may keep that in case I need it in the future. Rack is still for sale though. Going to Dorset this Friday and will be down that way for a week if anybody interested down that way?
Still £40 for it which I think is fair.

thanks,

No fairing cutting but you will need adapter plates to fill the hole up a little.

You do get in the indicator kit from Yam resistors and some adapter plates, but the supplied ones are too small for the Gen1.

89
please ignore the state of my garage that is today's mission lol.

I did say 'some'.. For me it was just peace of mind they they are CE approved and the correct colour etc. for Mr Plod and MOT man not bothering me.
Also they do look very cool and suit the Gen 1 well I think. But then I am sucker for buying OEM where possible.


91
Yes you will unless you fit in line resistors to make the current draw up to the same. They will either flash very rapid of just stay on.

I think I ordered this one from memory when I fitted my LED indicators.

by the way some of the cheap LED indicator kits are crap.. really dim and can hardly see them. I went with the genuine Yamaha ones

that way I knew they would work well. expensive but they are good.
Should be safe with Oxford and the like though.

I emailed Christian (guy who makes them) and he said the following
Unit price is 140EUR, shipping is 6EUR, paypal is 6EUR (or via IBAN/BIC).


So at current exchange rate £114 each.

I mainly want one to stop me going for the phantom 7th gear lol.. The extra features are nice, like how many litres of fuel left and proper temp gauges are a bonus.

IF he will do a group discount (and its worth while) the only issue is getting them to you guys.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Multi-gauge Multi-buy?
« on: 20 May 2014, 11:09:54 pm »
Hi all, I have been enquiring with Christian about his Multi-gauge's. He has advised he does not currently have any stock but will have some by end of June.
It then occurred to me.. has anyone asked him about a group buy and if he can supply any discount on the units or even shipping?

I guess ideally it only really works if we can then coordinate getting them to individials when delivered to blighty.

Any thoughts on this or is it even worth my while asking him?

thanks,
Fuzz

General / Re: Recommend Me a Car
« on: 20 May 2014, 07:02:52 pm »
Corsa with the 1.3 CDTI engine is good on fuel and only £30-35 tax a year. My mrs had one and easily did 400 miles on a tank. Only a 44 litre tank from memory. think they have about 70bhp so also go well enough.

Personally having had to work on a few French cars over the years I would avoid like the plague.. Poorly designed when doing work on them. but then if you are having someone else do it that does not matter.

Somebody commented that cars are boring after riding a bike.. I assure you driving an Impreza as my daily drive I can tell you they are not. Probably the closest you can get to a bike in car terms. Noisy and more raw than most other modern cars.
But then 16mpg and £490 tax is a kicker lol

« on: 19 May 2014, 05:27:22 pm »
Hi Paul,

Many people will bleet on about linear springs being better as you can match the spring weight to your weight etc.
Personally I have the hyperpro fork springs and spring on the rear shock and love the setup. They are progressive springs and I think on the every day roads they are a good upgrade over stock. as such they are nice and soft over pot holes and bumpy roads and firm when pushed.
It just comes down to personal preference and cost.

Also hyperpro springs come with the recommended fork oil.


Found this graph that will give a guide to what spring rate you require if you go linear

Guys, great day. Had John Reynolds on the rides and he followed me out :) (was paranoid about stalling lol)
Free bacon roll helped me forget about the weather.

Still time of you can make it. I had a go on GSR750 and a GSXR1000. Could have ridden more if I had wanted to.

General / bluetooth headset suggestions needed please.
« on: 05 May 2014, 04:31:40 pm »
Right me requirements are a bit specific  :D

I have a Garmin Zumo 220 satnav. I want to be able to hear directions via bluetooth and have some form of music. Unfortunately the Zumo 220 does not support this feature. What I require then (if it exists) Is directions from satnav and means to connect MP3 player, phone or have a built-in FM radio.
ALSO I do not want to use them shocking speaker pad things that come with most headsets. I would rather use my in-ear headphones thus cutting out any wind noise etc.

I got a scala rider bluetooth thing with the zumo and its crap. cannot hear it at speed and the pads dig into your ears.

Only means I have at present is an old Nokia bluetooth headset that I have linked up to the satnav and can hear directions via my in-ear headphones. Just missing the music element.

If you just want to use 1 device the below item is awesome.. Music or satnav directions.


Yeah I know I want the moon on a stick  :lol
