Looking for a Givi monolock plate for f arms (mm plate) or a swap for a monokey (m3 plate), as i've purchased a rack for my fzs 600, but i need the monolock plate not the monokey plate....Think they are aluminium

i was considering a new tat  but couldnt think of anything i wanted till i found this http://bodyartmaster.com/wp-content/uplo...ht-tat.jpg im not a member of the british league or whatever they call themselves i just like the tat. a bit too much do you think?

Some lad is selling his son's bike because he can't be trusted, apparently. So I might be getting a Honda CB900 dirt cheap.


Apparently it's been left in a garage for two months and now isn't running. Rather than telling him to fix it and buy it running, thinking of telling him to leave it and buy it as a non-runner so I can hammer him on price. What do you reckon? Service the carbs and it should be alright?


Carbs. Blech. It's the 21st century, people. Get with the fuel-injected cool kids, people.

This weekend coming up is Squire's Bike show and family weekend. With show's including Jap bike's, streetfighter's, custom bike's and other's, there will be stuntshow's and trade stall's and on the saturday morning an auto jumble.
The food's good, coffee's great and everyone is friendly. Come and give it a call.

29/30 September.

It reminds me of a cartoon in an old Punch mag. There's a psychiatrist and a chap on the sofa, and the psychiatrist says "OK so you blew the first day, so today is the first day of the rest of your life!"

Similarly, the switch-over to a new server was a disaster, so today is the first day to post any problems with accessing foc-u.

There will always be times when you get an error, with a single refresh fixing it. But having to do this repeatedly or having to refresh a number of times is not on. If this happens to you please post below so that I can give a full picture to our host.

Thanks for your patience :thumbup

Mrs Robbie has decreed that money is tight so we are going to be going out less but so that we can still have pleasant evenings in wants me to be able to connect my laptop (toshiba satellite 4 years old) to the Samsung TV (she already has got a mega sony sourrond sound system connected to TV )

now I know I work in IT but just not sure what would be best way to acheive this any ideas

from experts or enthusiastic amateurs or from any one that already has done this kinda thing?

Hi guys just wondering what you think of these, I am thinking of buying one to replace the I already have as it has a couple of cracks in it and want to replace it. Also if anyone has one of these for sale ( in good condition) let me know.

I've had my 2003 FZS600 for a couple of weeks now, all going well, but it seems to have quite heavy engine breaking when letting off the gas.  i.e. you want to slow down, let off the throttle, no brakes, bike slows quite heavily, it doesn't coast as much as I'd anticipate.


Now, I don't know if this is just the bikes character, whether it's me just being a newbie rider, or whether there really is something up with the bike. First guess was sticky brake syndrome. However, it does seem to roll freely enough, when pushed by hand and engine off. Can't hear pads scraping.


May well just be me, did only pass my DAS a month ago! and still not riding as smooth as I should be. Just got to watch it in traffic, as the bike slows a lot and I get cars coming pretty close behind, as I've got no brake light on you see. :-(


Any thoughts?

I've got a 2003 FZS600, which is fine for me, however my wife finds it a bit high. She's a bit of short ass at only 5'2", and with feet down can only touch floor with tip toes... I use the bike most of the time, but now and again, my wife would like to take it out. We were thinking it would be a good plan to get a second seat that's cut down a bit for her. Dead quick to swap over and would help her get her feet flat on floor.


Is there anywhere I can get another seat off the shelf? Or would it be a case of getting another official seat and customising it? Any recommendations for any one who can do this?

Bought a used 3 line set, just fitted but I'm not 100% happy.

They are Goodridge and use the original splitter, but the one from the splitter up to the master cyl was longer than the original, by about 4 or 5 inches.. I struggled for ages trying to sort out the best route for the hose without it either odscuring the rev counter, getting stuck against the fairing or trapped on lock.

I have ended up with it coming up in front of the bottom yoke, like original, then round the upper part of the fork leg and into the master cyl. It does not foul anywhere and stays the same distance from everything when turning lock to lock, but it seems odd to me and I am just not sure if it is OK to be overly long...?
