I did the same a couple years ago and fitted one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/anchor-Motorcycle-Security-Original-accommodate/dp/B07SYBGQKB/ref=asc_df_B07SYBGQKB/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=375465821417&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=585237821811281891&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007008&hvtargid=pla-822953839585&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=75109684965&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=375465821417&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=585237821811281891&hvqmt=&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007008&hvtargid=pla-822953839585 Well worth the little bit of extra work. Got mine from ebay for around £25

I'm far from being an experienced rider, but I love my Versys 650. The snatchy throttle I had problems with as well, but I fitted a booster plug and the change was instant. Well worth a try imho.

This! I'm guessing you are around the Darenth to Inn On The Lake junctions, which I travel quite often. The traffic towards Chatham / Rochester is a lot less busy in the mornings than London bound. Why not travel that way a couple of times first, then come back through the lanes and do it again? You'll get to a point when you turn off at the junction and come back on the A2 instead. Give yourself an hour or so on a weekend morning, and you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Is it because more cars have drl's now? Idiots don't notice it's dark in front of them because the illuminated dashboard tells them their lights are on?

I've had some success with Plastex - including the fixing tabs. The hard part is keeping the moulding putty warm enough in this weather when I have to work on the driveway. https://www.plastex.net/How_To_Videos.php

Check out cmsnl for the part, and listed below description is a list of models the part fits.

It can be done, I'm sure. This company are in Powys, but there must be others near you? https://motomatrix.co.uk/ They should be able to sort keys for the barrel and code them for you - once you convince them the bike is yours!

Just come back from Brands Hatch where the entire viewing areas including the pits were swarming with these tiny white flying things. Thought it was ash from a bonfire as they were so small and numerous.

Do you need a key for petrol cap too? Might be worth talking to a locksmith, if they can read the wafers and cut you one? But ... I just ordered new barrel for a doer upper Deauville, £8 Chinesium one on ebay

Black & Decker 1 - Pannier 0 Thanks for the replies. Shep

+1 for Monimoto. I got an extra fob and keep one each in summer / winter jacket. Very quick to ring the mobile if I move the bike without the jacket on.

Thanks for the reply - I wasn't sure if drilling would leave the locking pins in place, but I assume they'll fall into the space creared by drill bit. Fingers crossed for the 'driller thriller' on Wednesday!

After having my Deau written off a couple of years ago, I decided it was time to get another to A) Get me through Winter & B) Give my sorry a## a break from the Versys I currently use. I didn't want to use the Versys in the Winter, it has been looked after so far, but I don't want to have to keep covering it and locking it away every night etc. The Dullsville can be left on the drive as is. Funds dictated what I could get, and I ended up with a clean looking 10' Plate that was a stolen/recovered insurance job, purchased (unknowingly) from the dreaded 4th Dimension ebay listing. Anyhoo, the locks have all been screwdrivered to destruction, which means I can't open the Panniers to get the seat off etc. (The release lever is inside the pannier!). The ignition has been bypassed with a switch, and the H.I.S.S, is still active, so the key is left in the useless ignition barrell when in use. Sorry, long intro for a quick question ... Can I just drill the lock barrels out to gain access? I know I can use the ' proddy stick method' to release ( if ya know - ya know ), but only when unlocked. Will drilling the barrel be enough, or am I going to lose the pannier lid to gain access? If I drill the hinges at the bottom, I think the tops will still be locked shut. Typically, the right hand side is open! Any tips welcomed! I posted on the Deauville forum, but it looks a little quiet on there compared to here.

Apparently, you open a message to your Wife, click the paperclip and Location is one of the options to share. Not gonna tell my missus that!

You can do this with WhatsApp too. When my daughter wakes up, I'll find out how

I liked the all day comfort of Eggz, I just couldn't get hold of the tabs to remove them. Other than that I'd wear them instead of Loops.

I don't think the mute insert works with the 'Quiet' range - there is no tiny hole to block up? The Quiet range are supposed to reduce by 27db against 18db for the experience range. I found that going slightly smaller with the bud size and only inserting enough to form a seal works best. I can't find any ear plugs that are as Quiet as I would want, but the loops are the best of the bunch for me.

I've had dealings with 4th dimension - would never use them again. Churchill should get this sorted for you with the least hassle.

This could be normal. My CB125F never liked dropping in to 1st gear until I completely stopped, and sounded like a ratchet when I tried to do so. As Bender said, a little blip helps.

Thank you both. I'll give MyRoute App a go on my next day's off. Is it a free to use app, or have a free trial? Play store not letting me sign in ...

I had to travel from near Southend to Donnington a few weekends ago, and wanted a simple app that I could put in start and finish points. I wanted to put in places to go through on the way (way points?), but without having to stop and acknowledge that I'd been through. I just wanted to 'see' them, not visit them. Google maps couldn't do it, Waze couldn't do it and lots of others needed me to have a pc and transfer to my mobile etc. If you can make it as simple to change the route as google maps pc version does, once start point and destination are input, it'd be a winner for me.
