The VFR got the afternoon off. The forecasted rain held off so the Sad Robot Bike got taken out for 200km cobweb blow-out. Criminy, I had...
Or none of the subfuses has been replaced with a suitable chunk of conducting metal...
That muffler hanger looks like a genuine HRC piece...
Thanks for sharing this Mike. I'll add that to my mental list of things to avoid doing.
I'll second the straightening suggestion; I bought some slightly bent CR6600F4 forks and had them professionally straightened, and you'd never...
All NZ bikes are fitted with Ventura packs, it is a legal requirement. I did have a rear seat bag but wanted to use the seat cover cowl (more...
Did a little bit of an experiment tonight, and dropped the triple clamps down the forks by 10mm. I had found the bike a little reluctant to turn,...
I owned the NC24 back in the day; great little runner, but not sure my older bones would enjoy it quite so much now. The 400 V4s are a great...

Not my handy work! Just a stick on bit I think. But thanks (I think). Nice sunny evening for a ride. The new steering head bearings (tapered...
I started down the road of customisation today. I presume I turn into a version of West Coast Choppers if this continues, can't wait! I needed to...
I think I can answer your question, as a somewhat mature rider who enjoys swift rides on bumpy roads without getting jarred and jounced. The...
The master cylinder thing is real and worth considering. Basically the area of the master and the slave pistons that it operates needs to be in an...
5th gen and 6th gen callipers are designed to work with the same disc diameter and spacing so my GUESS is that yes they will bolt straight on. The...
I've been having a blast on Bumblebee, and have covered at least 1000km since I bought the bike a few weeks ago. I sorted out the SMC weep (just a...
