  1. Nice write up unfortunatly, 8th gen doesnt have the cbs system and is a different set up.
  2. Any chance of seeing this out of the road and in the dark. As in no street lights what does it look like from a riding position?
  3. The other thinking to this, is to ask the question, get others to do the research and post the answer with links up for you. I should maybe try it sometime, but then again I'm old school and prefer to ask only when I have exhausted every other means. 🤣
  4. Attached mine under the nose, I drilled the black panel after removing it. Tried various sticky solutions to no effect and a few brackets (on mirror stems) but they looked crap.
  5. Take it out for a long run so the engine can heat up properly and burn off the condensation.
  6. Well done. I'm just over the 32k mark on mine. She is getting used more than she used to these days.
  7. Becaust the good ole USA got a model without a centrestand, and no doubt Honda would have to deal with a resulting liabile case. Thats the only reason I can think of.
  8. I'm a bit closer to the West coast, out on the Ardnamurchan peninsula nr Fort William. There was one other but he has sold his now. Enjoy your new steed.🏍️
  9. Well done on your new purchase. Make sure you get the stuff Grum listed. Whereabouts on the West Coast are you?
  10. Replaced a set of worn out Pirelli Angel GT (1950 miles, Yes 1950) with a set of pilot powers that I got at a very reasonable price . Bedded them in today. Not having used sports tyres in over a decade last set being Bt016, I quite like them but no doubt will kill them off in no time.
  11. Fitted a new battery Motobatt as the original from 2014 was on its way out. Pirelli angel gt fitted tomorrow if its a good day.
  12. Wish my front cover looked like that. Despite a fender extender the British winters have taken its toll.
  13. Two bolts and stops need to be added to the front. They should come with bike. Instructions are in owners manual. Removing & Installing Body Components u Front Seat ❙ Removal 1. Remove the rear seat. 2 P. 64 2. Remove the mounting bolts and collars, and then pull the front seat back and up. ❙ Installation 1. Install the front seat by aligning the recess for the current seat height position (low or high) with the front stay. 2. Install the collars and mounting bolts. 3. Tighten the mounting bolts securely. 4. Make sure that the mount positions of the recess and the adjust plates are the same seat position. 2 P. 92 5. Install the rear seat. Make sure that the seat is locked securely in position to pull it up lightly. For the front seat height adjustment, see “Changing the Front Seat Height.” 2 P. 91 Front seat Recess (low position) Mounting bolts Front stay Collars Recess (high position)
  14. Put the optimate on the battery that I thought had died a while back (I had stuck it on the charger and brought it back to live) and removed the Innov k2 to put on the Bmw
  15. We will be passing your way in just over a months time.
  16. Nice Video ,doesn't look like Denmark to me more Spain.
  17. Took the battery out. Dead as a door nail not bad considering it has been neglected for past few months and is. 5 years old.
  18. Last week. Got together with a few mates for a week of enjoying the fantastic roads we have in Scotland. 4 of us for 6 days followed by another 10 arriving on Thursday for a further 4 days. 5 vfr in group 4 of them 8th gen.
  19. Tweaked the suspension a bit the other day. Got rid of rear chicken strips yesterday.
  20. Pretty easy to do. 2 tools correct sizes Allen key and a fine edge trim tool although have done it with a screwdriver. I was was going to do a how to next week when I get home as I have been trying out a few screens.
  21. Replaced a faulty zumo cradle.Can now hear directions, listen to tunes and if needed talk on the phone. putting the original screen back on for another test before doing a screen review of several screens.
