    What's this end for?

    I was ordering a few bits from MSP and I thought, for the price of a beer I would also get the ABS coupler. My question is, anyone know what the other 2 spade connectors are for?

    A cheap alternative bag that fits the OE side cases.

    My wife got this bag of Amazon and it seems to be a near perfect fit for the side case, at a fraction of the cost of the Yamaha ones I have. No shoulder strap but the material, zips and stiching seem very strong and it folds away to near pocket size. (I have no affiliation with this product or...

    4000 miles on Michelin Adventures

    So far they are performing well, taking everything the Italian back roads and old A roads have to offer. The previous PR5s where starting to square off by now. I don't do off roading, but the weather and subsidence damaged surfaces are a close second. I'm now back in the north of Italy on a lot...

    Cool O.E. luggage.

    I have a 2011 that came with the O.E. cases and have been pleased with the way the insides stay comparatively cool. Do the new black boxes have good insulation, or problems with cooking the contents?

    Another Spoke question

    Have any of you had one break and do they usually snap at the rim, or hub end? I see some advocate wiring spokes in case of one failing.

    As the spokes can not be bought seperatly and the full sets come to £250, I was thinking about a small groupe purchase and split them into spares sets. Myself and 3 others, that would be £65 with delivery from MSP, plus p&p at cost. About £70 in total.

    The price of genuine spares in Europe.

    After looking at a thread from a USA member about replacing the upper r.h. cowling, I thought I would take a look at the U.S. spares website. For some parts ot would be cheaper, even with postage and import duty to get some parts from over the pond. For example from MCP...

    A cheap(ish) answer to my stock seat numb bum.

    I already have a King of Fleece seat cover over a gel pad that is ment for the Tenere seat shape, but it has never been that comfy on a long ride. My problem is the front of the seat is too narrow for my 6' 1' 200 lb frame. I tried the Sargent seat, but it felt like my junk was sitting on a...

    Anyone fitted a Steelmate T.P.M.S?.

    I have fitted a set and the sales blurb says you can set the low-pressure minimum monitoring level as well as the high, but the instructions only mention how to do the high maximum. When cold my low pressure on the front flashes at 34 psi, not the 29 psi the unit is factory set at. So in the...
