Come on guys how was the meeting? We need to know!

We had a great time , if you were there you would had a great time to is that what you wanted to know .🏍

No calming down needed here I'm going and will have a good time 😀

I'm going plus mate Darren this Will be my first time off this year and I've not stayed in this part of UK I will enjoy myself .

My first task is getting there 🤔

So here is food for thought. A friend of mine had similar issues with the screen on his Honda. Being an engineer by trade he thought and thought and came up with the idea of holes to increase airflow under the screen to reduce buffeting. He described it like an airplane wing idea. He put 2 quarter inch thick rubber tap washers under the 2 lower fixing screws in order to lift the bottom edge and increase airflow. It worked on his Honda so sometime next week I will try it on the GTR. Just for fun if nothing else and no cost.

I did the same about a year ago but made 4 x15mm spacers to move the intire screen forward works well on non standard tall screen and as I'm only 5'8 ,fully up I sit in still air I also made some 50mm taller blades for the hand deflectors  no cold or wet hands anymore ☺

Testicles!

BALLS to you Pete 🖕

5 then

I take it Pete your not coming 🤔

Well I will be there and a BMW riding mate Darren .

Two inch risers don't require any modification to lines or cables. The brake and clutch line unbolt from the triple and bolt to the riser. 5 minute job
70 mm rise is good with no mods 🐖

Not sure about the benefits of Risers only if you are tall.

Its about posture mostly, I know quite a few people that are no where near as tall as me with them and they swear by them, I'm 6'3" and am torn between using my ones.

I'm 5,8 and have 70mm risers so I sit upright which I find very comfortable.

And I'm on the wine and not looking what predictive text is coming up with 🍷🍷🍷

Never ride faster than angels can fly .

Why do they seize
if being removed regularly to check tyre pressures?

Dissemalar metals cause galvanic corrosion , what is this tyre pressure thing it's only flat on the bottom.

A bit late now but never use metal valve caps on alloy stems they WIll corrode and seize , beware that the stems are brittle and won't take sideway load . You can try warming them a little this often helps .

It's tough being the lone voice in the wilderness.

Pete for once im in complete agreement with you mine have been in a box for a long while now as I have a tyre pressure gauge and know how to use it .
