Re: :WAS goodwood breakfast club NOW MDS STRIKES AGAIN
Dick Tym
I thought that it would be too big for me as the R1150GS certainly; was. I just happened to mention to the salesman that I really fancied a GS but size was a problem so he said try sitting on one. before I took it out he fitted the optional lower seat which was a simple clip off clip on job.

Right side driver peg assembly
ksufanatic342
Ok...So I have decided to go back to the stock footpegs. Issue is I
can't find my right side pegs. (Got the left just no right.) So, I was looking or hoping someone on here might have a right side assembly they would sale. Most importantly I need the arm and the rubber. (I have the brake lever and all the bolts.) Email me with what you have, and prices. Thanks |

Re: pipes
ksufanatic342
As far as I can tell this exhaust/muffler is what I have on my dub.
They have the baffles removed, guy cut the ends off, removed the baffles, welded the ends back on. Very nice sound and mount to the stock headers no issues.

Yes, why not make a mount and use your own 640 x 480 30 fps digicam? See:

Re: NHC: onboard videocam?
'Gift' is the phrase you use. Get a US lister to buy it for you...They can then post it as a gift...Something the retailer might not do.
640 by 480 pixels at 30 frames per second is not great...My digital camera can do that. Images look rough on a TV screen but if you use Windows movie maker and once your edit is done save it to your PC as an AVI file. It'll be huge, but it'll be the best quality you'll get and you can then ake compressed versions of it and compare them to find a compromise between quality and size. Also, check that you get a PAL version....our TV is 625 line at 25 frames per second, the States use NTSC which is 480 TVL at 30 fps.... Jon My te has MPEG2 portable recorders which record to hard-drive/card....Full DVD quality but the units are the size of a big paperback book. We have loads of colour bullet cams at work...I might experiment one day and do a ride down the lanes to Salisbury..... James I am very interested in what you have to say about the ATC2000 bullet cam you ahve just bought. I have been thinking about getting one of these and spent most of yesterday afternoon researching them, told you I was bored, and, whislt some footage looks poor, other footage looks fine, whether this is the way it is compressed in order to be hosted I have no idea. I can order the cam from the states for 49 plus 18 p&p, however does anyone know if I have to pay import taxes, customs at this end or can I just get the seller to put SAMPLE on the packet, as Ia hve heard this gets around any problems? --- In W650riders@..., "James Franklin" <jimw650@...> wrote: short legs (which won't even hold the mount to the tank) which protect thetank.

I've long been a convert to the trail bike riding position. My first 250 was a pukka competition bike with that classic sit-up and beg position and for urban street use and traffic splitting, there is nothing close. The only time it falls down if you don't have a screen is above 90, but that Beemer has one. Too big for me and too ... er...inelegant looking but understandably one of the UK's best selling bikes.

Re: :WAS goodwood breakfast club NOW MBS STRIKES AGAIN
开云体育I was very lucky, although I didn't realise it at
the time.? My Mum had saved up about ?350 so I could buy a car when I was
18.? When I announced I was going to buy a GP100 she didn't object at
all.? It wasn't until years later that my Dad told me she had never liked
his bikes so I can't imagine she was pleased with my decision.? Mind you,
it's only in the last couple of months that my Dad has admitted that he had a
Lambretta before he owned the AJS and Panther that I
remember.......

Re: :WAS goodwood breakfast club NOW MBS STRIKES AGAIN
Dick Tym
开云体育When I was coming up for my 16th birthday and
wanted to ask my dad if I could have a bike (Those were the days when you asked
permission from your parents) I leant against the mantle piece on which stood
the trophies that he had won for trials riding on his Red Hunter.. It made it
harder for him if he wanted to say no. fortunately he said "Of course you can".
the only proviso was that I didn't buy a scooter

Re: :WAS goodwood breakfast club NOW MBS STRIKES AGAIN
开云体育Lots of questions, Laura!?
?
Greenlaning/trail riding is not the same as trials
& trials is not the same as motocross.? Have a look for the TRF website
for an idea of trails/greenlaning.? Trials is more about getting around
sections and you lose points for having to put your foot down.? My Dad used
to marshall at trials events and we used to get "dragged" around with him;
although I enjoyed it I'm not so sure about my mum and brother. I want to try
trials and trails - they both appeal.? I told my Dad I wanted to try
trials, thinking he'd be pleased but he was quite worried.? He reckons its
a family trait that Clarkes don't bounce when they fall off, they just go
splat!? I'll just have to try not to fall off much, then :-)
?
We're off to the BSA international rally in Belgium
next Friday.? Unfortunately, I haven't got my BSA sorted and Jon's
developed an alarming rattle from the engine the other day so neither of us will
be on BSAs -?just have to?hope we won't get kicked off the
site!
?
I'm average height (5'5" ish) but shortish legs -
just long enough to reach the ground though.? The F650 isn't really low
like a cruiser.? I think I've seen a few favourable reviews of it by women
riders.

Re: Couple of newbie questions.
pete7953
Thanks for the input,
Well, I'm 12.5-13 stone and 5ft 10in. The bike has the original AC03 front and the rear was the original AC04 mileage approx 5000. I've just replaced the rear with an Avon roadrider as the AC04 appears to be unavailable at the moment, according to my local dealer. The shimmy problem is the same with both new avon and worn rear ac04 tyre. I've also tried various rear shock adjustments but have had no luck. --- In W650riders@..., Salvyrider <salvyrider@...> wrote: a rider larger than the average Japanese, for whom the bike was originallydesigned.

Couple of newbie questions.
pete7953
Hello everyone, just got my W650 a few weeks ago and a couple of issues
have arisen. probably been dealt with before but who knows. Handlebar Shake: when throttling back from 50+ or so mph, the handlebars give a wobble/shake at between 45-50mph, ok if you've got both hand on the handlebars, but if for some reason you don't, there is a noticeable shimmy until the speed drops to 40-45mph. Thought it mught have been down to a worn (very) rear tyre, but a new one has made no difference. Momentary cough: sometimes, the engine gives a 'cough'. It alwaqys recovers instantly and then won't happen again for the rest of the ride. Any suggestions for these issues, or are they all like it? Thanks Pete |

Re: :WAS goodwood breakfast club NOW MDS STRIKES AGAIN

开云体育That is a bit unfair. the accessories I was
thinking of are things like panniers heated grips.. also options such as ABS
& traction control. I believe that the Norge comes in different versions
with different amounts of equipment. The standard GS is still well
equipped.
at least this way you don't have to pay for
equipment or options that you do not want. BTW The low seat option is free if
specified when ordering the bike.
