I just looked at the Clearwater Site and installation of their light system really impressed. Thanks for the heads up on that site Benchmark  :beer: :beer:

Hi Harold, it may seem like a dumb question, but is your box a new one fitted to an 08 bike or are they both 08 models and you bought it as a package? If it's a new box at that price I would be taking it back to the dealer. If an 08 package drilling holes maybe a solution but you compromise waterpro...

Hi Jeff, from a Welshman in France welcome to the forum since you have frequently hopped in and out there's not much I can say about the advantages of coming on here. However, with your knowledge and experience I am sure we will benefit from your involvement. Welcome.

Those that are shorter in the leg will find it difficult especially if the camber is steep or r...

Unlucky Mercator after no such bad luck I was riding last Wednesday around the French countryside on unfamiliar roads which to say the least were challenging and very interesting. I got to a junction in a small hamlet coming off a clean road onto a newly surfaced road with grit where I had to do a t...
