    Seat recover

    I recovered my ZX7 seat last year (dont have the bike anymore) and i found it fairly easy with a staple gun. Can be a pig to get round the corners done without folding the leather and causing creases, but the longer you spend doing it properly, the better it'll look i bought this from ebay ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330856852781? ... 1423.l2649 i plan to do my VFR seat shortly too as its fairly discolored now
  2. Do you have a link to the GPS tracker? It depends on what voltage it takes ... Normally i'd expect it to be directly wired to the battery. You only really need to wire the positive to the GPS (aslong as its V range is 10 - 16v ish) then connect the negative to the bike frame etc
  3. Yup deffo too much W*$%ing ... Get yourself a VFR 800 matey .. you know you want to !
  4. I smell a faulty side stand switch by a mile ... if the top of the side stand switch is covered in gunk (oil from chain etc) then its shorting out the sidestand switch and causing the engine to cut out ... my old CBR did this when i was in gear and revving about 5000 ... to eliminate the sidestand, take the switch off and short the two wires out ... (could have three, in which case, one is for the dash light)
  5. Ohh fanx folks ... sorry i've only just noticed it now though Just dont seem to find as much time to get on here !! I was traveling back from the NW200 on the sunday (20th) and had a great weekend there. Again, thanks for the birthday wishes, luvs you all
  6. I think nodding should be part of your training when learning ... its something that i like about biking in general, most bikers i ever see .. even if im just stood near my bike give a wave or a nod and i always nod or wave to fellow bikers. KEEP IT ALIVE FOLKS !! If people dont nod back then fairy snuff, but i always do.
  7. recently did a couple of fairings myself .. As hodgy says, no you dont need to remove all the colour, just ensure you sand the whole panel otherwise it wont stick to the shiny bits i did 3x coats of primer then a light sanding .. 3x coats of colour, then 2ish coats of laquer .. (but i wish i did 3x) Leave at least 24hrs between ... then its even more hard work making them shine .. after youve done all that you probs want to sand lightly with 2000grit then work with some rubbing compound .. then buff ... I havnt done the last bit yet though ...
  8. Anyone going ? Me, Silent Ninja and a few others are going from the dumfries area on the 18th of May (sailing at 10:30am) We'll be staying at hilltop/blairs holiday park on the 18th and 19th.
  9. For the sake of £15 i would go for the pilot roads too but Maxxis aint a bad tyre, most people who dismiss them have never tried them and just follow what others say. Pilot roads always get good reviews afaik and Maxxis tend to get mixed reviews, bad ones usually by people that havnt used them though. FWIW - Maxxis are seen as the budget brand and Michelin as the premium brand.
  10. Just hope they dont find the bodies under the porch ... Congratz!
  11. OOooo oo ooooo Me Me me emee me !!! Just noticed this ! I'll deffo meet up with you lot this time!! What kinda time ya recon youll be hitting moffat on the friday? .. am i gunna have to try get a day off work?
  12. Hi Polecat, Fantastic thread, and one i've been studying for the past wee while. I came off my ninja and ended up grazing the left side badly and cracking it too. I'm sure a bit of plastic welding will cure it though. But then i'll need to respray the offending panel. I'd rather respray the whole lot white but i dont fancy tackling a full spray with no experience !! There seem to many different recommendations in regards to paining panels but as i can see your results i will probs match your process, crossing my fingers that i can achieve something similar. Heres what i have in my head ... . (Once i've repaired the panel etc) Sand the panel down with 180 - 300 grit Wipe panel down with white spirits. spray with primer (3 coats, 20mins between) leave to cure for 24hrs ish? - Should i sand with wet n dry before colour ? Spray with colour coat (3 coats, 20 mins between) ... When do i start spraying clear coat ?
  13. Yo! Just bought a new lid after bashing mine a bit when i slid my bike down the road ... anyhoo .. Its a Duchini D909 with built in Bluetooth + flip down Sun shade http://www.thevisorshop.com/acatalog/medscaleDuchinni-D909-Motorcycle-Bluetooth-Helmet-Titanium-1.jpg Dont spose anyone has had one ? I'll post back with how i find it once it arrives. P.S. its got a 4 star sharp rating
