Hi does anyone have the handlebar riser tool for >2016 models that they would be willing to sell - or loan with a deposit?I'd rather put the 230 quid towards riding TBH....Thanks Nick

direct from r&g at the bike show last autumn.

Thanks - it's Langham Dome in Norfolk NR25 7BP.

I'm on my third year of the round britain rally, 80 landmarks to visit in england scotland and wales, it does throw up some gems....

yep along with the gopro, badly scratched camera lens, and when I took it apart some ribbon connectors became detached. and the moral of the story is.....?

I thought I'd experiment with a cheap high level gopro mount for those highly professional looking results. Here's 2 clips -

Had our with this seat today. Early impressions are good. Only needed it just about inflated to add comfort and anything more inflated felt like being at sea !!

well it was in Dyna mode, I've no idea if the remap works on other modes, but I thought they just affected throttle response?
