Well... I've already simplified it. Baisic idea now is to make two, more simple brackets. One for the number plate and another that bolt on to the back of that bracket for the indicators. The advantage being you can easily change one without the other should you wish to alter something. Here...

For anyone considering making their own tail tidy.... My original plan was to remove the ally arm of the original design and make up a bracket to mount it higher up. Thing is... A) you need to actually cut some plastic which, should you ever want to replace the original system will show. B)...

Well according to the tracking info I'm getting. My Arrow has left Italy, arrived in Germany and left Germany at 1:57am this morning bound for the UK First service on Friday then on goes the pipe. I intend to take photo's/video of the process so will post them on here. I will fit it "long"...

Okay so here's my findings on trying to use the original tail light assembly but without the extension arm. First, as previously mentioned, it is not possible to simply remove the arm and then bolt the rest to the original mountings, Secondly and perhaps most importantly. It is NOT possible to...

I test rode the ER6F which was indeed good for 100 mph without too much buffeting. By comparison it was almost impossible to hold on to the 07 at the same speed but the bike felt completely at ease. On my bike I find 70mph comfortable though noticeable. 80mph rideable but uncomfortable (okay...

Funnily enough... As I've been doing quite a few longish journeys of between 50-100mls (as I'm trying to get the thing run in). My arse seems to be getting more used to the bike and I find it less painful than I did when I first tried it. As for whether the seat is moulding to my arse or visa...

Oops... Didn't notice that one. Some nice information too so if a moderator wants to combine or even delete this thread. No problem from me. I like the idea of replacing the peg bolts even if it's only to keep them in pristine condition should I ever decide to sell.

I walked in to my local dealer today (Crescent Bournemouth) and they had a white one fresh in. Not sure how as I thought next shipments were in September. Didn't ask if it was already sold though, My "Arrow" system was marked as dispatched today (from Italy) so hopefully should turn up soon...

If I had to sum it up in one word... Effortless would probably be best. Otherwise...Light, agile,, torquey. fun.... fun.... and.... More fun. Not massively fast and not a bike for huge distances but more fun than should be allowed for the ridiculously cheap price tag. Oh... and light...

Well in my experience, knowing how far you can lean your bike can be just as much of a lifesaver as how much you can pull on the front brake (for those of us without ABS). It's not just about speed but can be about getting round that bit tighter if someone changes lane in front of you without...

Well I'm certainly no racer. But neither do I want to take the thing back for first service with a square tyre. So, I've been leaning over more and more at roundabouts etc to see how far I can get before things get a little squiffy. Anyway, I'd like to say the bike is excellent and very...

And now the question... I'm considering the Givi screen as, although I'd prefer a smaller screen, a larger one would surely be of more use. The Givi also looks like it might also deflect a little more around the hands? So any experiences would be very useful please. Also cost? (UK)

Click on the "Insert Video" button on this page... (Looks a little like a piece of old fashioned film). a new box will open up.... Now look at your video on Youtube and click on share.... Copy the highlighted contents into the "Enter your video clip...." text box and click "OK"...

Well today, whilst adding a few more miles on the clock and making the most of the nice weather. I was riding up out of Swanage along a pretty narrow street when a nice young lady in a Peugeot decided that, rather than run over a carton of eggs that someone had dropped on her side of the road...

An old boy farmer is sat on his tractor ploughing his field when he notices a shiny new Range Rover coming up the lane beside him. The Range rover stops and out get three young city gents dressed in brand new Barbour Jackets and Hunter wellies. They then get some shotguns out of the boot of...

Don't take my answer too seriously. But it's not a "touring" saddle. I also have a BMW R1150R which is like sitting on a comfy sofa and much better suited to long distance work. On the other hand, the Beemer is no where near as much fun in town or on the twisties. If I was considering buying...

I chose non ABS but can understand why others might choose otherwise. I also ride old Brit bikes so any brakes at all seem like an improvement. Of course, if I suddenly disappear from the forum... You'll know I made the wrong choice.

I've found I can average about fifty miles before I start to feel it. After that I'm walking like a duck with haemorrhoids when I get off.

Just to clear things up... the "Yamaha MT-07 Fly Screen" video is not of my bike. I just edited another member (J.Nicolajsen) video to make it easier to see on the forum. (as previously it was a link). What I'd like to do, if we can get enough videos on Youtube is combine them in to one long...

Damn... Forgot to mention in my first post. I've ordered an Arrow (hence the Italian supplier). So apologies to anyone I've misled. The Akra for £500 certainly would be a bargain. Personally I like the easy removable DB killers on the Arrow and intend to fit it "shortie" style.
