I would like to customise my FX650 and wonder if anyone has fitted alloy 3 spoke wheels [like those on a Suzuki GS500] to their Honda. If this is a doable how complex is it or is there an easy way of fitting wheels from another bike which need little modification. Any photos would be helpful.

Thought I should stop lurking here. Hello. It was once a 1987 Transalp. I bought it off a mate. He had it modified. Then I put my hand to it. I like to fiddle and change things. So one day to the next the bike can be changed. What it looked like when I bought it. I have had to...

Hi, I thought I'd be proper about putting my handlebars back on and tourque them to the correct setting. 26Nm according to the haynes manual. Before I got there, feeling a bit strange this, the bolt snapped off in the socket! Fortunately I was easily able to get the 50% of the bolt in the...
