The t1600 is huge. Awkward to shuffle around id think. Ive just traded a w800 for my gtr. Its beautiful but slow, so if you ride with others youll soon feel awkward , and flog it .

I trimmed the foam with an angle grinder, you've got to be extremely cautious though as theres no resistance. As somebody else said I took it off the sides mainly. It still wasn't enough so I bought these, slightly longer but stacks lower, an excellent buy.

I guess, in theory, newer stuff works better than older products . As far as I know,all the waterproof stuff has a placcy lining these days - while the outer layer gets drenched. I'm sure that some people used to sell clothes where the outer layer was waterproof( like wax jackets). Ive got a Wolf top and bottom , it just worked in 4 hours rain from la Rochelle to Cherbourg.My gloves soaked and sent watter up me arms tho, chortle.

1400GTR Discussion / Lowered suspension

My lowering arms arrived last week and were on in 15 mins, if you don't know, they're about half an inch longer .The difference in (foot on the floor) is quite a lot . I'm very pleased. I'm aware that i've altered the set up.

Thanks y'all, I've never been so welcomed . Tis black, previous owner was in Plymuff so it may have been a member before. I've got a Thruxton R too (house sale)((no wife)).

Howdy from Exmouth. I bought a 57 reg 3 weeks ago, went to the Med' on it a week later via Santander, then rode up to Cherbourg last weekend. Ive just ordered some ride height lowerers as I find it just a tad too risky when fully loaded-trundling onto an oily ferry deck etc.
