  1. Now that the colder mornings are here i have decided to invest in some eqp to keep my fingers warm . I have been looking at the Oxford heated grips but i have read that even when you switch them off they still can drain your battery ( is that true :?: ) I would have thought once switched off they would be ok . So i have been looking at the Oxford muffs any advice on which you guys prefer would be great

    Cheers

  2. Busy doing up a scooter for my lad for xmas for his comute to collage ,it runs great but the guy i got it off tried painting the front plastics and made a hash of them as in the paint has cracked so i hope to strip it off and try myself do do a better job . Any advice on what to use to strip it would be great

    Thanks

  3. Managed to pick up a screw in the rear tyre of my Blade on sun. I repaired it using a temp repair kit and having rang around a few motorcycle tyre places cant find one to repair it ( on saying once you have fixed a temp repair you cant repair after that :| :?: ) I have noticed the mushroom plug kits on the net but not sure if i should go that road but my head is telling me to bite the bullet and get a new tyre :crybaby:

    Any advive would be great

  4. Decided to take my blade out for a spin as I have only done 70 miles on it since I got it ' so decided on a trip to the borders first stop Carter bar then onto Howick, Selkirk, then on to Moffat . Passed St Marys Loch first time I had been this way so kept stopping to admire the view Roads were ok apart from a few dodgy bits from Selkirk to Moffat ( lots of loose gravel )

    All in all a nice run out 228 miles

    Thanks in advance

  7. I have a problem in that my rear indicator on my 2001 cb 750 stops working every now and then I think the problem lies within the unit because when i move the wire it starts working again . Can the unit be stripped down or is it time for a new one ?

    As always thanks in advance :cheers:
