If you're in the market to replace your lid, take a look at the official government safety test website to search for the one you're after.
Also makes very interesting reading for your current one too.
For me, it's safety first every time but hopefully with a bit of style too. As I also hate spending money for the sake of it, I'm pleased to see that it's not always about how much you spend.

Ayup chaps, im looking for a some feedback and info as to your set up on the above  !
Now ive seen this on pats page and have the various pipes to do the job.
6mm pipe: as per pat's but note the pipe is huge of the spigots
5mm pipe: this fits better
Do i do the 4 link-up method or 1-4 / 2-3 method
so my Q what would be the best method or the best tried method by yourself.

Hi all, Since I got my R6 shock converion last year which is amazing, my front forks have felt even worse. I have looked into full rebuilds with cartridges and at the other end of the price range, Hagon springs.
For the mileage and riding I do I have decided to buy K-Tech springs so I can specify spring weight and new oil and seals. I really fancied the fully monty cartridge conversion but there coming in at £480 ish and that's a whole lot of wonga and tbo I don't think I need it for my 'steady away' making progress style.
The big question is, while I am keeping the standard forks with upgraded springs for my weight/style. Which grade oil should I use.
Standard is 5w, but some people say thinner as damping is slow on standard, others say thicker. Some say standard oil level some say a bit more oil.

Is there any others out there that have tinkered with the oil as they have been on a budget/ being pragmatic.

following an article in Practical Sportsbike magazine i have bought some stick coils and have made up an harness,just got to fit them now,it is an easy mod and will get rid of the ht leads,and as mine have 70k miles on them i doubt they are as good as when the bike was new,so has anyone else done this mod? or is anyone considering it?

anyone got some TOP TIPS for cleaning and keeping clean stainless exhaust downpipes 

I was on the A10 to cambridge, and there's quite a few T junctions on this road with speed cameras near the junctions.

We all know that dual carriageways with a barrier in the middle, speed limit is 70mph.

Going through the junctions I slowed to 60mph, but I am sure I didn't see any speed limit signs that or I missed them.

Question - what is the speed limit on a dual carriageway where theres T junctions????

Thanks.

A stunning lady walks up to the bar , she signals the barman to bring his face close to hers , running her fingers through his hair she says softly " are you the manager ?" "no" , he says. Can you give him a message ? she asks stroking his face & allowing 2 fingers to slip into his mouth so he can suck them gently & sliding them seductively across  his teeth & round his tongue . " Tell him there,s no fucking toilet paper .! 

Anyone fitted risers along with straight bars like the FZ1? i think it looks great unsure of the room though

Anybody tried to recover a seat themselves , staplers are not that expensive so thinking of having a go on a spare tatty seat that I have bought. I suppose the covers are specially shaped so I would need to get a specific Fazer cover? I would like as single racing type seat made ideally. Something to brace my backside against
Any usefull imput appreciated
