    Fit from new also depends on how well your head matches the helmet shape. The best fitting helmet I have had was a Schuberth S1. The never Schuberth models are for more "spheric" heads. A Shoei I had needed some manipulation to fit.

    In the fall of 2023 I was at a bikes/parts market. It was strategically combined with a flea market. At the entrance you could see many couples arriving together but then to split up, one going for clothing and things for the home and the other going for parts for old bikes and cars.

    And that Moto Guzzi - what can you tell about that?

    Nice photos. Looking at the pictures I found myself flowing away on a wave of nostalgia, and then SMACK!! a VF1000R right in your face 😁.

    With the exception of the traffic light it could be a fun place to visit if I go to England again. Especially as they are all in the wrong direction 😬 🤕

    I even see a single plastic bag with a Honda parts label 😁

    Aha!! Now I realise why - there are two Gileras 😅

    I didn't notice the suspension before - friction damping is ... exclusive 😎

    I'm sorry to hear this. We are all fragile. My best wishes and sympathy to his nearest.

    The red phone may refer to the hotline. To anyone old enough to know what that implied. Considering a late 1980's bike a red phone is apropriate.

    Thank you very much for the thorough description and good advise. Seeing such new downpipes almost make me tremble and feel warm inside 😁 The appearance of the rear down pipe looks familiar, except that the (at this stage) leaky zone is where the pipe from the front joins the "Y" although not quite as bad. I have a gun gum repair holding fairly well - at least the remains of this season. In any case it sounds like its soaking time and if the front nuts are nice and come loose a little copper grease to have it stay nice. This is not going to be sunday morning in the front yard. From the extents of the job I will - besides having replacement parts - start looking for a nice room where I can do this without stress, as it may be a project taking a few weeks if I do it myself. Again, thank you very much 👍

    My VFR is a 1989 RC24. While it has many similarities with earlier model it differs in several ways when going into details. Many detail differences I have learned about here and some differences are easier to see, such as wheel sizes, front fork, instrumentation, fairing and exhaust. For years I was fearing that the day my downpipes wore out would be the end of my days of motorcycling so I started to look around for replacements. Some years back I replaced the collector box when these were available at David Silver Spares, so this is in faily good condition. Unfortunately very few - if any at all - made aftermarket replacements for the pipes and if so they were discontinued decades ago. In my search I was lucky to find a set of original downpipes in a serviceable condition which I immediately bought and stored in my secret vault until the day ... I am now in the Gun-gum phase of my old (34 years, as a matter of fact) down pipes so I am thinking this swap may be a project for the coming winter. If any of you have some experience with replacing downpipes on a J/K I will be grateful if you will share it here.

    Thanks tsmitty. It was mainly a look to get feeling for how accessible the studs are and your picture gives that quite well. Man, do these downpipes look clean and nice condition. Thanks very much Fastdruid for the offer.

    Maybe an egoistic request, but ...: If rear fender and heat shield is off, would it possible to have a picture from behind to see the routing of the rear downpipes? Mainly because I am preparing myself for a rear downpipe replacement on my '89 😁

    It could be a bad connection in the loom/connector ...? Suspicious about both dying at the sane time.
