Not in daylight but loads of lighting in the garage!

Thanks for the video Stu. A really good looking, clean bike too.

I bought a set from motorworks Fitting is fairly easy if you follow the instructions! I never 😂 I didn't like the idea of drilling holes in the side panel behind the emblem for the wiring so I ended up removing all the silver trim and feeding the wiring through there and through a hole already in t...

Did you see any wild Haggis? When my children were young I had them persuaded that haggis were dog-sized creatures that lived high on Scottish mountains, and to deal with the inclines they had legs on one side longer than the other, so the males ran clockwise around the mountain withe females antic...

I’m looking at them at the moment.

Motorworks and Sportouring do them around the same price bracket, approx £120, with a possibility of Amazon and Aliexpress cheaper.

Interestingly, I was speaking to a Police motorcycle rider yesterday and his approach was the same as above. When under training, in a national speed limit, (without taking the pi$$), exceeding 60 mph seemed acceptable, especially when overtaking. Yeah, right. :lol: From personal knowledge I can pr...

Are there any other fittings in the box? You may be able to get an adapter off EBay that will act as a spacer to move it away from t...

I actually like the RS version

Don’t hold your breath!

I added every extra and the grand total came to -

You’d never waste the words ‘graceful’ or ‘pleasing to the eye’ on it would you? It looks like it was designed by a 14 yr old kid who’s been subjected to too many episodes of Transformers. I’ve just read that a top spec will be around the £30k mark, if that’s correct I wish the new buyers the best o...

The fact that the wheels are going to be lighter made me wonder how they’ll achieve this, given that it’s fairly easy to bend or cause a flat spot on the rim with any of the huge and ever increasing numbers of pot holes that blight our roads. Either way it’s a bit of a moot point for me as I can nei...

I assume that’s the real deal and not an AI mock-up?

If it is I’ll settle for a 1250 thanks.

Nice theory…
