I'm trying to return my XR400 to standard specs. As it seems that many XR owners remove these items, I'm hoping that someone has a diffuser and snorkel for sale! If you do, please send me a message. Thanks.

A curious thing, ladies and gentlemen... Yesterday I went to pick up my bike from a mate who had done a bit of welding for me (that's another story...) Before leaving his place I checked the lights were working. No tail / brake light. My mate said he had checked all was working after doing the...

I'm running a naked, tatty RD08 '99 Dominator and want to cover up the battery / air box. After weeks of faffing about with paper templates, corrugated cardboard, duct tape, mdf and car body filler. I've finally, almost finished making a pair of prototype side panels. The plan is to use these to...

Any one been fiddling yet I went out this morning for a run but froze so came back early and decided to adjust a few things. first was the throttle free play there's far too much for my liking the two demonstrators were the same that was an easy adjustment, the gear lever was a bit low another...

Evening knowledgeable ones, can anyone explain what the benefits are of removing the resonator tank and fitting an early model snorkel (duct housing). I'm at a point with all the parts needed to do it or not.

I know there's mixed opinion about chopping up 'perfectly good' bikes, and, in the process wrecking their real world usefulness. But, each to their own, I've had a lot of fun fettling this bike. Thought I'd share the result . . . This bike was a standard '99 NX650 with tatty bodywork and a few...

Hi I want to replace the petcock and fuel tap on my AT. Previous owner repaired with a nail and some duct tape. Does anybody know whether another Honda model will fit an AT or is it best to buy an original part. They are quite expensive here in South Africa, but the tap is getting difficult...

Well it was near enough -5 here in sunny surrey last night and this morning when I got the @ out of the garage and gave it some choke and prodded the starter she turned over albeit very slowly untill I heard the dreaded clicks from the starter solenoid. DOH!! Better phone work and explain the...

Funny as f**k just watching QI and ASSIMO just walked down steps and ran across the stage doesn't sound like much to us but its the only robot capable of doing so then it danced with JO Brand, i though it was clever as hell really. Iknow ASSIMO has done other things like conduct the Royal...

This afternoon there was a very brief bit of chanting outside the High Court: it went "FREE DALE FARM!" and was linked to the auld woman who was trying to get a last minute suspension of the eviction notice which expires at midnight. The site is owned by travellers who have converted it into a...

Long time lurker, haven't posted much at all but...... Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Project Frankenbike! I hurt my arm a couple of months back and the xr was left in the garage as I couldn’t ride, it hasn’t been started since then so 416cc has generously offered some workshop...

The rattle around the head is now gone. You know the grey/silver cover that sits on top of the black speedometer housing? I removed that, and then put cut-to-fit pieces of duct tape where the silver bit and the black bit touching. I put tape on both pieces Screwed it back together and no rattle...

It's been a while since I have posted. Life has just been sooo busy, so I have been lurking for ages. Unfortunately, my first post is to put my AT up for sale. It's been a tough decision but the bottom line is that I only use it for commuting (no time to use it for "pleasure") and as I travel...

This cold snap got me thinking about the MUFFS i made for the last welsh invasion. I am designing a mark 2 model so it seems sensible to let someone else have the benefit of my custom made bar muffs. They are a perfect fit over the standard hand guards so would fit the TA as well...

I am well impressed. Just got a prototype Headlight Mesh off BobA and fitted it to my RD07a. They are meant for an earlier model but quite easily and neatly fit the RD07a A few screws and 2 bolts and off come the nose cone - pop this over the lights and undwer the rubber - back on with the...
