I have the standard 47L version supplied by Kawasaki, but the mounting plate they use is rubbish, it flexes somewhat, so i had an alloy one water jetted out of 5mm checker plate and fitted this, now the box is rock steady and has had people leaning on it for miles.

Hi Alan my plastic mounting plate recently cracked and my topbox flew off the back of the bike. Ive been looking into getting an alloy one machined but cant seem to find anyone to do it. Have you got a pic of yours and where did you get it done please?

Cheers

Great looking helmets viper, wish I had the funds to stretch to new C3s
I may be interested in your old helmets though, how much were you thinking of asking for them?

Hi Deano welcome, are they still doing the bike meets at Mc Ds hale ??? tuesday's ???

ubertours --  we will be staying at Trewen Hall last in july, first in august, maybe see you at the above.

Hi zedmeister, yes they still meet at Mc Ds in Hayle on Tuesday nights. They havnt started yet this year but when weather gets warmer and evenings lighter probably about easter time they will start meeting again. I go most weeks when Im not working so may see you there when your down.

just to add another dimention I also ordered 2 small bags and 1 large. They all arrived together in a HG bag then wrapped in another plastic bag. But when I opened them 1 of the bags still had the big plastic security tag attached, as I live about 80 miles from nearest HG shop I cant simply pop into store to get removed. Do I try to break the tag off (similar to those attached to clothes) and risk dammaging the handle slightly or send back for replacement?

hmmmmmmm   what to do   

Hi guys, Well thought I would never see the day that I would get rid of my treasured 06 fireblade but yesterday was that day. I traded it in on an 07 GTR 1400 in black, and after riding my blade over 300 miles to London to do the part ex and then ride the gtr back to Penzance in the same day and still have a smile on my face when I got back I think the right decision was made. Initial thoughts after riding back are all good (although most was all motorway) handles great , still plenty of power which was a concern I would have after getting rid of my blade, comfotable riding and looks great, Just a couple of downside are with myself being shall we say verticaly challenged I struggle to reach the floor properly when come to a stand, after reading a lot of post on this site i am going to get my seat lowered which will definatly help but was wandering if the bike could be lowered any other way i.e. adjusting suspension? The other thing is its a lot heavier than my blade so will have to get used to that and finally lovely big mirriors but a lot of the view is obscured buy the panniers.
But to sum up after 1st ride i am very pleased and cant wait to get out on some proper touring roads and to hopefully meet up with other guys on this forum for ride outs and meets.

Happy riding
