I should also say that I fully intend buying another one when I get my 2nd winter bike

It just makes sense

July 11, 2018

It uses the bike battery but if thats disconnected it switches to its own internal one, theory is on lowest settings the internal one lasts 24 hours....But with the settings I use (more power hungry) it lasts about 4.5 hours on its own battery

Also worth mentioning its compatible with both 12 & 24 volts

Its never affected my bike battery, even though basic settings its actually a silent alarm system that actually texts you If someone touches your bike

Cant help with SIM question as I use a £5 GiffGaff one with 500 txts and 100MB ...you will typically only use about 2-4 Mb a month

You use either txt reports, or use their free 1 year GPS tracking site....which reports everything

I wont be renewing my membership because it records speed, miles,distance, even when the engine is ON/OFF although if its nicked you can literally track a moving bike down to 5 meters

For the price it is great value

EDIT:

the companys after sales is of the highest caliper and they will bend over backwards to help ....I am impressed with that

they will even set it up for you if you give them access

Ive had this one 11 months and its excellent,

Has loads of features but takes a while till you understand a lot of them

Its also Tiny! think an overweight TicTac box,

Even has a listening microphone so you can hear what is being said near the bike. :shock:

Its always on

Sleeps if the bike isnt moving and wakes up when it feels vibration/movement

Deep Shock is an option for longer storage.

I Confirmed the time with CCTV

even when you walk down the street there's a chance for something to happen, hell, even in your own home...

A couple of weeks ago I slipped on the floor and came inches away from hitting the back of my neck/skull on an outstretched draw

A friend of my Pillion died the week before by simply falling over and broke his neck when he was drunk,

The point is "when your time is up its up" ..It might be walking down the street...on a bike or something else pointless, you could get hit by a drink driver while crossing the road!

Just ride better and gain experience, then the close calls are rare, and you develop a sixth sense,

or buy a Crosser and have cheaper fun than the track

While I imagine the initial shock and pain at first ..... Did you find it strangely arousing ?

I think [mention]Six30[/mention] might need some sort of therapy??

What’s wrong with the middle finger?

Its just not me, Im the Quiet One ....I believe people that shout and act like that are cowards and dickheads

There are 2 riders in my town that think they are in Sons Of Anarchy on their HD's with their WW2 German helmets (true I swear) ...they just look like Bully Idiots as they do it to EveryOne!

Not sure but may even be illegal?

Stupid Bitch in her car on the phone taking corners wide and all over the place

Im usually a calm biker but I lost it and screamed at her whilst revving my engine and using the horn, even did something I dont agree with and gave her the middle finger :cry:

I have the "proper" sockets for my bike like yours and there is No substitution really,

They are Impact Quality not like normal sockets (want to grind an impact socket? I dont)

Suzuki wanted silly ££££ for them and I found a guy on Ebay that makes them at a fraction of the cost,

They have been used a lot without a scratch on them

I don’t know that much about them apart from they’re a talented racing family.

Im same as You....I dont know enough about the family, except more than a couple have died following their dreams

Although I did watch a Documentary about the Dunlops a few year ago, I cant remember that much about them

July 7, 2018

Sad News

Do any generation of Dunlops get discouraged from Racing?

How many have died on 2 wheels now?

This is a Review of Aftermarket Chinese fairings..........yep you read right "Chinese", although the company is actually American (I Think)

I researched and researched for about a year before I decided.

Chinese Fairings have a bad reputation....quite deservedly too!

Ive read horror stories about holes having to be drilled for fairing bolts,

zip ties needed to pull parts together,

melting plastics,

paint peeling, bubbling not matching and generally looking crap after a few days,

and much worse!

Needless to say that put me off the cheaper companies.

EXCEPT for "auctmarts.com" I read reviews from years ago that had been updated every 6 months...one went back 4 years and the author claimed they were nearly as good as OEM and looked the same 4 years on, he Praised the paintwork a Lot

This company is also open to customising fairings/decals to your needs,

and yes the Decals are under the Clear Coat

The general speak on the net is that you get what you pay for...which is true

Now to Auctmarts Fairings

The company website is in USA and you pay in Dollars.....but the painting is done in Hong Kong,

Im not sure if the fairings are made in the USA or not

Their Reputation is pretty good But communication is not so good once they have your $$$$$,

Understandably that concerned me,

So I fired off a few emails complaining that I had heard some bad reports about their reputation online

(truth was I had only read good reviews)

I was sent an Email where they apologized for there slow work and 2 days later received pictures of my newly painted fairings,

They were a bit slow with the Whole process , taking 5 weeks (normally 4 weeks) from paying to delivery BUT it was ALL worth it. after all its not a 5 minute job!

The shipping from Hong Kong only took 3 days from Flying them out to clearing customs and being delivered !!

I had expected about £150 for Import tax's but when They arrived the Import tax was £61.**

In my head I had saved £100.......needless to say thats great

Now to Fitting and Quality

The Quality of them Is EXCELLENT I would say 95% of OEM

The Paintwork is beautifully Done (This is NO Rush Job!) and I Fully expect it to look as good in years to come

I expected a few minor problems, but the fitting was Exactly the same as OEM.(No gaps)..I didnt have to drill holes or use zip ties....or any of the stuff thats associated with cheaper Chinese Fairings

Apart from having NO Fitting problems at all, I had ordered a Tank Cover,

This is where there could have been a problem right?.....WRONG.....I am Amazed how well the Tank Cover Fits!

If you didnt know you would swear it was a freshly painted tank....see pics

All in All I am Over the Moon With these fairings and they have transformed my 17 year old bike,

All these pictures are with loads of finger prints on them, I havnt washed the bike at the time of taking the pics

1st Pic is before
