    Talking quick intro......then the begging begins!!

    Hi all!
    Well after originally riding a dominator in 89 or 90 and deciding I must have one of these I've finally got my hands on one,and I'm real pleased!
    BUT
    as with most things which inhabit my garage it needs a couple of little bits,the silencers have seen better days (and loads of bandages!) and the rear shock has had a hard life too!
    also the indicators dont flash or work at all....any ideas of problems or is it just flasher unit worn?
    Any ideas what I can do about this little list let me know
    cheers
    Phil

    great choice I'm sure the relationship will blossom in time

    What you need as an aftermarket pipe.
    A lot of folks go with the Laser ProDuro...i did.
    If you search for posts on here by "Rubberchicken", he posted a w/s that sells A grade exhausts - might have a tint scratch or dent in it - but they're cheaper than wot I paid :angry:
    Also te rear shock can be replaced/rebuilt...there's a Spanish guy on here from time to time who plugs his "Air Supension" units or there's always people like Maxton who might be able to help. Also Rubberchicken (again ) posted notes on where he got his sorted.

    Have you checked the fuses? ..silly I know, but might save a few quid/days trying to source a flasher unit.


    In summary you've come to the right place for Dommies.
    HTH Good luck.

    When my Dommie's rear shock blew, I got a Hagon fitted as a replacement.

    Hi matey

    Can highly reccomend the Laser Produro Exhaust. Wieghs less than a single Honda muffler, is stainless steel, cheeper, and nicer sounding I got the road legal version as I consider it pointless fighting the system and it bolts on without any need to mess about with jetting, and can't say I got any boost in performance, but the power does come in a little lower down the revs making it better for mid range stuff.

    Hope you like yer bike, now get out there and ride ya crazy kids!

    Hehe, I think so.
    I'm actually about 500 metres from the boundary with SE9 (Eltham) so I bareley qualify as Sidcup
