  1. I bought Alpinestars Adventure goretex jacket from george white when they started end of season sale. Today I noticed that seams split just by the collar I don't think they have them in that size anymore so I can't have it replaced, I don't want my money back as I paid £99 whereas it's between 3 and 4 hundred pounds elsewhere and I won't find other goretex jacket for that price, so I thought maybe I should sew that seam? Will it be waterproof? I don't know which part of goretex jacket is the waterproof part... Is it the outside or inside? I'll visit george white on Saturday and see what they say but I thought I might as well ask here.
  2. http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/product_images/skidmarx_screens_flip.jpg It's taller and it sort of bends at the edge
  3. Do you paint using spray cans or air compressor? Also I have a givi arms for a top box (without mounting plate), a double bubble screen, and a flip screen if you are interested.
  4. You didn't see his other restoration thread, did you? Well done polecat, looks great, and you've chosen the right colour as well

    Front Fairing

    I don't know about fairing but clocks will move a little since they're mounted on rubber thingies. Like washers but much thicker...
  6. Looks like 46 hit the back of his head/neck with his front wheel... There's a slo mo video on Youtube.
  7. What?!

    Brake Upgrade

    I was terrified how bad brakes are on a TDM850 after I had the Fazer. Had a look closely and two pistons in the right caliper were seized And I haven't looked at the left one yet. Maybe that's the problem in your case. Or maybe they were not bled properly, I recall reading about Fazer calipers being a pig to bleed...
  9. Check out rebelyell91 on youtube ( youtube.com/rebelyell91 ), he uses gopro hd as far as I know, but he records sound on a voice recorder. Or you can get a Drift HD170 which has external mic input so you don't need to sync video and audio later. Sound on all of helmet/bike cameras will be poor, unless you ride a Goldwing/Pan Euro or plug in external mic and hide it away from wind
  10. I think it would say h.i.s.s around the ignition barrell if it had one. My dad has 06 vt125 and he doesn't have immo.
  11. Have you looked at this? Cheaper than Arai, and it looks nice in my opinion. I'm not sure if the visor tucks under the peak, haven't seen it in real life. Spada Sting - £89.99 @ Ghostbikes http://www.bikingdirect.com/_cogoshop/content/cache/4c84c712ab4257f6ae0c2e5fd1f4f016.jpg
  12. Yeah it was definitely up when I tried. If it's in neutral it starts regardless of side stand position.
  13. I recently realized that my Fazer doesn't start in gear (with clutch pulled in of course). Instead, all lights on the dash light up Is that how it's supposed to be? There is a switch of some sort under the clutch lever which comes out when the lever is pulled in. It seems to be connected to something but I don't know where the other end of that wire goes
  14. I'm a poor student at the moment
  15. Very good review I really like the look of the bike, and the fact that it's a shaft driven parallel twin. Your review made me like it even more. I'm jealous
