Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
It’s pretty good for a 25 year old bike. Main thing was the plastics are in reasonable condition because they’re like hens teeth. All the smoky bits are still available. Sent from my iPhone... |

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Re: SV650S project

Re: SV650S project
Definitely the easiest way to do it. However, if you’re motivated to do the work just because you want to do the work (and I can relate to that) then crack on. Get a decent socket set. Top... |

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Just got this delivered yesterday [emoji3] Aprilia RS250. Same engine as the RGV but in a better chassis. A bit more roomy too - handy for the middle aged gentleman! It’s not a project at the... |

That’s a good shout. It’s hanging at 90° and doesn’t look great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
I’ve fixed the Optimate to the garage ceiling so I don’t trip over the trailing wire two or three times a day. Only took 10 minutes but now feeling unreasonably pleased with myself. [emoji3] ... |

My new bike : Fugly or Rolling Art?
Just swapped my R Nine T for this 2018 Husqvarna 701 Vitpilen. First of all you need to tackle the looks. It’s not like anything else and definitely not for everyone. Personally I love the... |

Re: Why would rear dampers only be listed for '03 to '07
Not aware of a difference from 08 on. You could send Ohlins an email. They list it the same on their own website but might be able to tell you if there’s a particular reason for that Sent from... |

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Nice. I was just reading Bike’s write up from last month and they loved it too. They reckoned the R was a better all-rounder for the road than the RS. It has a clearer dash, that you might like,... |
