After passing my DAS 10 years ago I got a Yam Diversion XJ900 which was ok as im tall, then had the Fazer 600 which to be honest towards the end I did suffer with leg cramps on longer journeys and currently have a Kwak ZZR 600.

Im looking to replace it later this year for something which is better for someone taller (I'm 6'3) suggestions please?
I would like a GSXR 1000 but I know that will end in trouble. What do tall Foccers ride?

As a result of "only wanting to paint my cam cover" I am now in the process of stripping my wheels to be blasted & powder coated. Fine, done a few before but the rear wheel arrangement is new to me. I am guessing I will need to cut/destroy the left hand rear needle bearing assembly in order to remove it so was wondering if anyone can recommend a supplier & rough price for a replacement?
Found these. Quite a difference in price.

I have a local bearing supplier near me but don't rate the chances of them having this this one.

I am after a rack for a Fazer 1000 Gen 1 either genuine Yam rack or Aftermarket.

Having a discussion on a bike forum generally poulated by old farts about famous bikes. My argument is their idea of a famous bike is tainted as a result of their age so I thought a quick debate on a youngsters forum, where some may dare to fit brighter but illegal bulbs in their headlights, would show different results.

What do you consider to be a famous bike?

I've been on the lookout for carbon can( for my black bike ) for while now and have bagged myself a slightly used Akrapovic .The only thing is it's a full on race can and I think it's going to be a little loud for the neighbours when I come home fromwork at 6 in the morning.

Has anybody any experience with an aftermarket  baffle that's any good?

Next stop Ivan's :lol :lol :lol

Myself and a couple of mates are going to the above event for qualifying day. We have roaming grandstand tickets.
Just a few questions really.
Has anyone been to the new circuit? Which is the best grand stand to watch from?
What time do the gates open? Silverstone haven't published this yet but would like a heads up guesstimate.
Any other useful advice would be really appreciated.
Many thanks
