Will be interested to hear your opinion on the werx..  Compared to the stock screen

I believe the term is Collision,  not Accident
or so i was told on a course,  RTA is out the window and RTC is the latest

ive had a couple sent to me,  nothing much of intrest to see...  just a walk round and some commentry oddly..  one said i had 3.0mm tread on my rear tyre then a couple of months later a different tech said i had 3.7mm tread on the rear tyre i feell sorry for them having to...

Well my first suggestion is get a secondhand stock screen (there should be plenty available),a Jigsaw with a plastics blade and cut it down bit by bit to the height you'd like.

Hi Frank
Glad you like it,  told you they were better than the stock seat.
Did you make use of the Miguel mount and pouch thingy

What would happen if the key fell out of your pocket (without you knowing)  say as you were on the motorway
You pull into the services for fuel so stop the engine.
Are you goosed or would the bike warn you prior to stopping the engine?

I'm with you there,  fetched mine home and it's been parked up ever since
I'm itching to get out on it

Just traded my 2014 for a new one..  My bike plus £7200
So I'd say you had a cracking deal..  Or I had a crap deal (probably the latter)  :alas:

Your only getting around 2.5k miles out of your tyres?
Christ..  I couldn't afford to ride if I had to change my tyres so often
