Re: Screen wanted
There's a Wunderlich Touring Screen for sale in the erm, 'For Sale' section. If it's the Marathon screen they're bloody good in the winter but perhaps a bit too protective for summer.
Re: Torx
It's worth buying a few spare M5 flange head screws for the bodywork, at some point you will loose or misplace the odd one or two. I bought some Stainless Steel ones from Ebay and they're look every bit as good as the OEM ones.

Re: Adaptive cruise control
I've had adaptive cruise control on three cars (all Toyota) and their system does seem to work well on motorways & dual carriageways, if you like sitting in a queue! It's all too easy to suddenly realise, hang on a sec, I've slowed down and been following this car for, for hmm, how long without ...

Accident, Insurance Companies & Afterwards
Really worth watching and taking onboard about what to do after an accident and the pitfalls / dubious methods of how some insurers operate.
It's UK based, but if our lot are doing it, other countries will be as well:-

Re: Not Flu
I had it, my wife had it and loads of people I know have had what I've been told is called 'a six week' cold. It knocks you for six and is miserable. Hot milk & Brandy (sorry let's get the proportions right, hot Brandy & milk) helped me sleep, but really time is the only cure.
Get well soon.
Get well soon.

Re: What did you do today?
Went for a short ride, Shropshire to the Lake District for a cuppa and to chew the cud with some like minded souls from the Iron Butt Association. Overcast but okay on the way up / p*ssed it down on the way back! All I'll say is thank goodness for Gore-tex.

Re: Water Running Down the Inside of Visor.
Similar to Docter T, I used a thin strip of foam tape along the top edge where the visor intersects on closing. Its important to be using the right stuff. In my case, the closed cell type foam...its quite dense and will not let the water thru ! The stuff I uses four decades ago is archaic, but I ca...

Re: Water Running Down the Inside of Visor.
The helmet is about a year old and I've just put a new visor & pinlock on it. It leaked before, it still leaks now! Reading up since I posted I've read about a paper test between the visor and the seal to see if there is a gap. I'll check that when I get home. Interesting comment about RainX etc...

Water Running Down the Inside of Visor.
Hi All, I have a problem with the rainwater running down the inside of the visor of my Neotec II. I've tried adjusting it, applying the silicon lubricant, vent open/closed, but it still comes in, dripping in pretty much from the centre. It then gets onto the Pinlock and the water seems to get stuck....

Re: Hi from GB
Mine did and they're not all they're cracked up to be when paired to certain engine types. You have to remember quick shifters were developed for the track, to work at revs and to compliment a close ration gearbox. What we've got is a big twin, spread out gears and as 'Jeffem' said "it’s a big ...

Re: Time for New Brake Pads
As above, been told my rear pads are low.... 12k miles, is that about normal? That's almost exactly what I got out of the OEM rear set on my '18 R1250RT. My mechanic said you'll generally get 2x Rears to 1x pair of fronts. At just over 22,000 miles I'm still on the OEM front and the replacement rea...

Re: Heated Items
We as warm blooded animals can only produce so much heat and insulation can only trap so much of it. Helmets do a reasonable job at protecting the brain from the cold, but for the rest we have to protect the body at about +36c from a winters day air temperature of let's say +5c, all in the space abo...
