Put it back on your bike with a nicely shaped caption saying,
"Yes! this bike is Foccing Taxed and Insured" :lol

That sounds like another "Adventures Of A Taxi Driver" scenario :lol
Although in fairness i had a very similar occasion, mid scan for a hernia with all the gel and stuff, skids down, and a load of students walked in and THEN the nurse doing the scan asked if they could watch and learn?
Erm, yeah okay then!
Fortunately mobiles weren't so available back then. :lol

All the cost for no measurable benefit.
Not in performance but you should get more MPG, cleaner engine mainly EGR valve and less likely to screw the injection pump due to better fuel that lubs the internals.

If it costs more, it must be better - right? :lol :lol :lol :lol

the diesel I put in my bike!!
after driving works vehicles all week loaded bike up with all I needed for a rally then went to fill up,, automatically put black pipe in bike not green!!
didn't even register until 2 miles down the road & bike died!!
lesson learnt? no did it to new bike but noticed after less than half a litre so switched to unleaded and filled to brim :rollin next fill up was that expensive super unleaded ran a treat after that

Long gone, really good bike completely spoilt by horrendous screen turbulence, can't believe the press didn't make a lot of this, worst bike I've owned by far.

I rode an xlv1000 Varadero a few years back and at speeds above 50mph the screen turbulence was so bad it rattled my helmet and gave me a headache after about 10 miles.

[/quote]I had a 2002 Mk1 Vara and a 2008 Mk 3 Vara and MRA Varioscreens on both helped a lot, my crossrunner had 4 different screens and a Powerbronze screen adjuster and I still sold it. It had factory panniers, fog lights and lots of other stuff, lost a fortune. I see Honda have now fitted an adjustable screen. Anyone thinking about buying one should have at least a 2 hour test ride.

I still have the blue anodised disk holder on the back of my 600, I have the words 'Fazer set to Stun' set inside it, a play on words from Startrek.
