BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

Myold bike which was at Haslemere Motorcycles. Has now been sold (to a gent from London) so I was told today, it went last weekend 14th.
Got the new wheels first service today and there was SUNSHINE Good day. (Suzuki V Strom 1000 GT) Now need to go places.

Take all the paint off and polish the alloy. Once done looks good and a quick rub over now and then is all you need.

May I suggest that you are wasting your time. If you use the boxes you WILL get marks on them however careful you are. That's the way it is.
They keep you stuff dry,stop it from falling onto the road. What more do you want . Go on a trip with them.
Have FUN ..

Rice .You would be most welcome to have it returned to your good self. It has served me well. Will PM you.

Strange I had a Cagiva V Raptor. I know what you mean about the throttle the early TL type engines had very different ECU's to the later and latest ones. Tried lots before deciding on the Strom. Favourite was the Moto Morini Grandpasso.Very expensive and Italian ie unknown untried and I have been ca...

The time has come to say my farewells. To all those on this site who have made the last ,nearly five years entertaining,informative and helpful.
Cheers to you all keep safe and enjoy your bikes..
The Rock is being replaced by a V Strom 1000. Brakes what brakes!!

If all else fails. Get a centre punch make a dimple in top outside edge. Put the punch at an angle so the force imparted drives the plug in a counterclockwise direction. Using a big heavy hammer on the punch, that will drive in and round, the plug will loosen. Undo plug, buy a new one to replace. Bi...

Looks like someone fitted an optimate type connector for charging batt under your seat. Gaz H how easy was the terminal connections on the Oddesy battery. I have just ordered one and was thinking of making two posts from bits of angle to bolt to the battery with a hole in to take the existing leads....

Looks good defo fastest colour!!

The Moto tech ones look the same as the ones I have 1" up 1"1/4 back.. Got them from Nippy Normans UK site.. Great service /good price..

Another advantage of the tip on the cat mod, is that you can fit a full size box on the left side!!

If you want to see some fitted and find the wrinkles for fitting them. i'm in Hants near Fareham..

Pull off the instrument cowl/cover. Remove screws top and bottom of housing self tap screws( 2 top 2 bottom). The dip beam light has a clamp around it. you loosen the Allen screw located about one o'clock (looking from the front of bike at the lens) this allows the lamp to turn a bit. ( i think it's...

Mechanicaly, the lesser angle is kinder to the shaft. Went for that long ride to London for the riders rights demo, against road pricing for bikes.. The seat seems slightly more comfortable with the different (shorter) arm. The steering is more to my liking. Bonus all round I think..

Have just fitted R1100s/GS arm to Rock. Steering realy good now, seems more lively. The other things the seat seems better,perhaps due to being raised a tad at the rear?? I have allways thought that the angle of the std Rock driveshaft looked a bit strange with the kink in the end,thats gone now and...

Hi. To reset the light for other side riding. Remove the cowl (nose piece) in front of the clocks. Pull lit off three lugs go into gromets to hold it on. Then remove two top and two bottom screws in the headlamp cover take cover off. On the dip beam look for a socket head screw located on the ring c...

Hi. Not sure where you are but try Nippy Normans for some bar backs. They come in various sizes, so you should be able to find some that suit.. RR

I fitted some Hepco and Beker ones, in black with the handguards gives a sort of urban cool look. also make good leg rests for long trips. RR

Hi. I have travelled many many miles with Remus and panniers whilst in France. NO problems. RR

hi. Givi do some very good boxes, they also do a very neat mount and bracket which fit realy well onto the pannier rails. Only fault is that it mounts right on the back of the seat, Makes passenger room quite limited.. I fitted 52 ltr case, ugly but the thing has hardly been off the bike for two yea...
