alterations

Ok, here's the question, do I alter my own trailer to take two heavy bikes or just buy a new trailer? Oh, and of course, a second question, do I need a four wheeled trailer or is two enough? Right, I own a decent three bike galvanized trailer, it takes up to three bikes but with a limit of...

I know there are a few on here who have discovered the "darkside" so will post this in case anyones interested. ;) Used not abused, as new TT "enduro" style seat suitable for the oilhead GS bikes, although not for the 1150GSA which uses a different rear subframe. Under a year old this...

OK here it is: email received from their marketing man Nick Dear Tom, Colleagues have passed on your email to me. I think I may have been in contact with you before, but if not, I’m Nick Edwards, the Make-A-Wish Marketing Officer. I’ve just been having a look at the Longest Day website and...

FALCON BIKE INSURANCE Don’t buy from FALCON BIKE INSURANCE without being very very clear about what you are letting yourself in for. Read their T&Cs carefully before you commit. My 18year old son took out a policy with them. Their on line engine said the policy would be £170, and the...

Hi everyone! I'm still looking for bike to take through some parts of Africa. If you have anything in the garage that might be suitable, please contact me. I'm looking at a budget of around 1400 - 1600 GBP ready to go,. (=less if alterations, additions, tax, mot etc. have to be done) I'd be more...

Yet another addition to the Transalp fold. Have bought an 04 model with just 2500 miles on it. As the basics go I'm fairly impressed though am planning on making various alterations along the way. Would like to make my first point about tyres. I changed the rear to a standard Tourance...

Will a twin disc front end off ,say a 2000 TA600, fit straight onto an older 1995 model with a single disc? Are the fork springs the same?Any other alterations needed?
