    Dark Side Tires for 2013 Roadster

    I know this is an old post but I was wondering who voted for the Dunlop Direzza DZ101 and what they thought about it. I'm currently getting one fitted because that's the only directional tyre I could get hold of.

    Tank slapper

    Thanks for the replies, The problem is all sorted now. It ended up being the steering head bearings. The dealer told me they checked the steering head bearings the first time they had a look at it. A different technician at the same dealer adjusted them today & fixed the wobble.

    Tank slapper

    I don't normally do this but I took both hands off the bars to adjust my helmet whilst doing 70kph & the handlebars started wobbling from side to side gradually getting more violent. I tried it at a few different speeds & it only seems to do it below 75kph. It's fine at 100kph. The bike is a...

    2017 RDU Location???

    Depends on the dates chosen whether I can go or not but I voted for Nyngan because I find that the smaller towns are more friendly than the bigger ones. A few of us stayed at the Cabins in Nyngan a few years back & they drove us into the RSL club for dinner & picked us up later. Some mates...

    Thanks for your time in explaining your mod. I have decided to return the QR brackets to Mittzy & stick with the permanently attached back rest. :)

    Easy Brackets - Fitting

    I just checked, one is T40 the other is T45. And there isn't any torx keys in the tool kit, just Allen keys.

    Quick Release Sissy Bar Kit 3rd run

    So you used the original spacers that Mittzy supplied between the rear fender & the QR sissy bar & you used different washers or spacers between the QR sissy bar & the K-drive brackets? Any chance of measuring the width of the spacers you used & the length of the new bolts? I'm a bit worried...

    Big weekend

    I done a ride from Newcastle up through Kyogle & out to Deepwater the weekend before you. It pissed down all the way from the Drake hotel to Deepwater where we stayed on Sunday night. (Karaoke night) We only made it to Tamworth on Monday as it was still raining & freezing cold so we found a warm...
