Re: MotOz tyres in the UK?

Yes that is what I had found, I just hoped someone may have been bringing them in on the side. Anyone?

Re: liquid chain?

I'm intrigued, anyone know just how this works? Does it form a rough grippy surface layer or melt into the snow?

That brings a tear to the eye! My first motorbike at the age of 10 was a Yam TY80. In the summer I often used to climb out the bedroom window at dawn, sneak it out of the garage, push it up the road, and go riding ...

Re: Tutoro chain oiler

Another user here! A great product; no messing about with vacuum pipes or electronics, just find a mounting point and plumb in the silicon pipe.

I did not have space to mount it at the back because of luggage racks etc so mounted to the front and feeding onto the front sprocket, as per the trials ...

MotOz tyres in the UK?

Anybody know of a UK importer or seller of MotOz tyres? I tried the European ones listed on their site but to no joy.

I would like to try the Tractionator Adventures as they are being touted as a viable alternative for the TKC80 but actually last more than a week ;)

Re: Rotopax...did you use it?

Ok the vapour loss is not something I had heard of, do all the bladders have this problem or just some certain brands. I had used some previously in the desert for a 4x4 but maybe diesel is not so evaporative.

I was hoping to mount a bladder in the same place as Dave mounted his Acerbis tank that ...

Simply bolted to a mounting plate that came with the pannier racks. I'd like to play about with the mounting plate so that I can mount both soft and hard luggage and still keep the aux tank on. I also want to fit ...

Re: I'm looking for a tank bag for F800GS... Are Wolfman any good?

I'm looking for a smallish tank bag for an F800GS. Had Enduristan in the past but recently been looking at the Wolfman range. Anyone got any experience of these?

I have the Wolfman Explorer Lite 13L bag, only used it a few times but it is a very well made piece of kit and likely to last for years ...

Re: Peli cases

I used a Max case from Trifibre to make a neat little topbox. They are a bit lighter than Pelicase but have the same IP67 waterproof rating. And are very much cheaper.

To mount it I bonded a sheet of aluminium to the underside, drilled holes through to line up with those holding my pannier rack ...
