Re: :-( Selling up :-(

Sad to hear. Might be worth you adding if any of them have a UK V5 as that could encourage someone!

Re: Cast wheel

Don't throw it away. If you don't want it in your collection of bits that will come in useful to someone I'll add it to mine! I'm near Coventry so not far.

Re: National Road Rallys

I've done it twice in the past. First time on a VF750 (even won a prize!) then on an FJ1200. did feel like I was cheating on the FJ as it was too easy! I entered in 2020 but we all know how that went!!

Re: My New Corsaro...

In practice though a 21" tyre has a very similar rolling radius as a 19". Not a lot of people know that. Well, quite a few do but most just assume that a 21" tyre will be 2" taller. I did, but I don't anymore. Okay, I'm going to bite. I'm not seeing this. Assuming similar tyres ...

Re: Early 350 sport Road test

. . . thankfully I'm in lockdown due to covid so I had peace and no complaints about not helping with work around the house or grandkids lol, I wouldn't complain if my isolation was stretched to 3weeks lol. You wouldn't be the first person to red pen an LFT or "accidentally" mis-report a ...

Re: My New Corsaro...

As the Can-Am will originally have had a 19" rim and Avon Roadrunner or Dunlop TT100 (legendary off road tyres!) how are you sorting the steering geometry out to allow for 21" rim and knobblies?

I am, of course, expecting details of meticulous calculations and millimetric accuracy.

Re: Early 350 sport Road test

Have you tried searching for it on eBay? I must admit, I tend to use eBay as a way of finding Bike mag road tests in my own collection. Search for what I'm looking for to find the date then see if I have it!

Re: My New Corsaro...

Impressive progress. It seems to have leap-frogged the bed blocking Can-Am (just said as proof that I am paying attention).

Re: Engine/Frame numbers

If you are trying to get your first MOT, or first for a while, take the V5 and turn up early as they can have a lot of trouble getting it on the system due to frame and engine numbers not exactly matching. Particularly with non official imports leading zeros, spaces, characters like * all cause trou...

Re: Kanguro X Headlight

Thanks Pete. I'm away a couple of days so might be slow coming back to you if you do message me. Could you measure unit width and height?

That one on ebay is a CEV 254, I think I need a 244. I've already bought one that doesn't fit so don't want a collection!

Kanguro X Headlight

One benefit of being on the MRC stand was the chance to compare my bike with several others! Although I have the correct headlight fairing (I think) I clearly only have a generic rectangular headlight in it. It's a CEV and part number seems to be DGM 37521 PMXL A. I've posted in the Bits Wanted sect...
