White flannels that Ikea sell for 19p each (in the textiles section). Just bought 80 and they are good for cleaning and polishing duties. I know there are lots of options for rags out there but I find these are great to use. I can only face going in there once every couple of years though go on...

As you all know ACF50 is great stuff but a pain to put on the bike as it comes out the can like a hose, not a spray. Most of the time I buy it in a bottle and use various rags/brushes to apply. What I am wondering is, has anyone used a proper spraygun such as the small touch up types the car...

Well, I've had my TA for a week now and done my commute to London from the Island. These are my first impressions - if I'm wrong in any of this, no doubt I'll be corrected! I came from a V-Strom 650 which I had got when I downsized from a series of BM GSs. I'm very fond of V-Stroms and reckon...

I have gleaned many useful bits of info from this forum in the past, so I thought I may reciprocate. A few words on DIY panniers for the TA. Frankly, new hard panniers and fitting rack are an extortionate price, so a DIY solution seems a good idea. The panniers themselves are not a real issue...

Appologies in advance, I have to rant before I go looking for fingers with a pair of croppers!!! :evil: I will move this to the sale/wanted if it turns out to be a viable option. Had my 2001 650 TA (52k) stolen by some Corby toe-rags recently, (very young as they dropped it with a full tank...

Its so easy for anyone with a non-functioning speedo - its not necessarily the cable as i found out. So i finally got round to taking the front wheel off today, after disconnecting the brake calipers (hang them with cable ties out of the way), and the speedo cable. The speedo drive hub or...

Hi folks, bit of help needed here. The insurance folks (or whoever they have contracted this out too) have valued my mint (before the bang) 98 AT (in popular,slimming and faster black) on 10k miles at £2775 Shocked I dont think I can get a replacement bike for less than 3250, but I need to...
