    Which color?

    ¨ Sure, I just want to see what folks have to say about the different alternatives;) Besides, I'm not a huge fan of green. I've never wanted a Kawa, and no way I want people thinking my bike is one:spank:

    Anyone Have/Had A Scooter? Just Wondering...

    As a 16 year old, I got myself a 1990 Yamaha DT 50CC moped (yeah, I read what you guys in the US call it - poteto, potato;)) It's so long ago, that I barely remember what it looked like, and it's not easy finding any pictures of it on the web either:rolleyes: Anyway, I bought a Pollini...

    Which color?

    You mean like this: (I left it out intentionally, as I don't want people to mistake it for being a Kawa...)

    Which color?

    Have anyone else painted their rims? I'm wondering if it's necessary to powder coat them, or if it will be sufficient with an ordinary paint job.:confused: I won't be able to do this just yet, but hopefully not too far into the future:thumbup:

    Which color?

    Thanks:) I have a personal preference for either orange or yellow myself:thumbup:

    Which color?

    Poll away! I've added a belly pan which I plan to aquire in the near future. (Edit: I added the green version, but I seem to be unable to add that option to the poll).

    Made my own, smaller screen

    Well, then. I put the original screen back on. I kind of agree with Chris here; the sweeping shape does something to the overall look of the bike. Since that's lacking on the plastic screen, I will just scrap it. However, I have another plan. I could just lower the whole headlight assembly by...

    Made my own, smaller screen

    Waddaya think? I'm not sure yet, whether I want to keep the original, or replace it with the shorter one...:confused: The process was quite simple. Used the original screen as a template on top of a 1,5 mm poly-carbonate plastic sheet. I cut out the shape using a Dremel (which is a...

    Alien Cafe Racer Headlight! fitted! now with lotsa pics!

    The bike looks a lot better now, with the headlight lower:thumbup: That's why I want to lower my screen as well...

    Do you have a prefered cornering side???

    I'm left handed, but seem to be more comfortable in the right turns. Really don't know why, but it's easy to see how that translates into the wear on my tires. It's especially noticable on the front tyre, which has a steeper angle of wear on the right side. Even so, the chichen strips on the...

    restricted fazer

    The 2004 models aren't restricted. That version wasn't available until 2007 when the S2 version was introduced, which had 98 hp. At the same time the pre facelift versions got restricted down to 78 hp.

    Ermax seat cover installed

    Thanks, I've been thinking of that. I do indeed have a can of clear coat paint in the shed, so I might want to do that later:thumbup:

    Bike was due for the 42000 km service

    The shop measured valve clearance, and all of them were well within the limits, so it wasn't necessary to adjust any of them:thumbup: Further, as they measured the syncronization of the throttle bodies, it turned out that only minor adjustments had to be done. I must say that I'm pretty...

    Ermax seat cover installed

    Quite happy with the result, despite I painted it myself with spay paint:BLAA: Trick is to paint it several times, wet sand it, rub it, polish, and then polish it some more. Now it is as reflective as a mirror, and I got rid of that nasty orange peel:thumbup: The attached pics are crap and...

    Her står alt bra til! Hva med deg? Kjører sykkel til og fra jobb stort sett hver dag, så det bør være gode muligheter for at vi ser hverandre innimellom. Blir for øvrig mer og mer vant til skjermen nå, men har fortsatt lyst til å kutte den ned noe. Skal en tur innom Plastkompaniet i morgen for å...

    Couple newbie questions

    It redlines at 14K, which indicates that this is what the motor can stand for å prolonged period of time. The motor also has it's peak power at 12K rpm. In other words, you shouldn't worry about revving it at all. I do it as often as I can, allthough I keep it in 6th gear when cruising. When...

    Use your f**ing brakes, a**hole!

    Ford vs Mazda: That still applies. The Ford Mondeo and the Mazda 6 are essensially the same cars, but the Mazda certainly scores better when it comes to quality. I don't know what makes Skoda relatively better than VW in this regard. The Chech's seem to have much of the same "tidyness" as...

    Use your f**ing brakes, a**hole!

    20-25 years ago, the Skoda brand was associated with commies and eastern block engineering. It is after all a Chech republic car manufacturer. There even was a saying, "Why Skoda when you can walk?". VW group made the company a subsidiary in 1991, and as a consequence, they built a brand new...

    Use your f**ing brakes, a**hole!

    Hehe, the threshold for suing people around here is a whole lot higher than in the US, I guess. People would probably look at my like I'm a crazy person if I cried out "whiplash!" On the other hand, I was considering snatching his Jag emblem before taking off:D
