Given that a CB500-X can be had for £5,000 brand new. the cost of upgrades (all of which are bolt-on) can be had for £2,220..... I'd say paying £1,780 for fitting is a bit rich!
Nice looking piece of kit through!!

Re: 650 GS Dakar
Two things I look for when buying 650GS's (have had a few now): 1) Waterpump. With the engine running and up to temperature, check under the left side of the engine casing where the two coolant pipes meet (this is your waterpump) - there should be a small 2mm hole visible. Check there is no water or...

Re: Panniers.......... or "Enduro" Trailer?
Well then.... this does seem to have struck a nerve :whistle: To clarify, I've never exceeded the pack capacity of my panniers and rarely ever carry more than an additional roll bag on the back.

Panniers.......... or "Enduro" Trailer?
Hi All, When off on the bike, I tend to stay in the same place for a day or two and then move on. My trusty 650GS is, lets be honest, a mediocre trail bike at best. Even without luggage it can be a lump on the dirt. Add luggage to this and it gets even trickier. I've seen a couple of people with cus...
Re: Insurance
The trick here is NEVER to insure with Bennetts...
Genuinely great initial offers but their renewals are hilarious!!! :woohoo:
They once increased my premium for installing an Alarm on my bike, as the saving I achieved was less than their admin costs - go figure.

Re: Rain and visors
I bought a set of gloves once that had piece of a "Windscreen Wiper" built into the thumb/index finger web of the left glove. Very useful!
