    Voltmeter worth having?

    Hi all was looking for little mods to do and see some people have a voltmeter. Are these worth having? also where would you wire it to? if straight across the battery then it would need a switch. I have my usb socket wired to the hot of the brake light switch if I recall, could it use the same...

    Might be a silly question (exhaust baffles)

    Ive got scorps currently running with no db killers or baffles. I love the muted raw rasp of the baffles in but I also love the deep howl of no baffles. Question is what about one baffle in one baffle out? Would this adversely effect the balance of flow and performance or effect the life of the...

    Anyone have a slight clicking feeling at low speed in 1-2nd gear?

    As title, it seems that on a really smooth surface like a new car park or fresh tarmac I can feel a slight clicking as the chain is going round only at very low rolling speeds (with gear engaged, if I depress clutch then it goes..I think) Hard to explain its not really a knock although close to...

    I can't believe how much of a different sounding bike it is with the baffles out I love it! It completes everything I wanted to do on the bike now other than some new levers. That sound in second gear when you hover at rolling traffic pace :Flash: Certainly puts a smile on my face. Anyone...

    )4-07 exhaust fit a 09?

    Would I have trouble fitting an exhaust thats come off an 04 bike on an 09? I know the scorpion website has two models one for 04-07 and one for 08-09 so I presume there is slight deviation but saw a good deal on a province on eBay but wonder as its 04 if it will fit.

    what USB socket have you all got, and where do you site yours?

    Was thinking to get one, wondered if I needed one with a switch or if a cigarette lighter built in was a good idea too for say air pumps. To be honest I think ill just have a simple wire with usb waterproof cap. question is where to put it where it doesn't look messy.
