I needed to replace the seals in my 2008 XB12ss forks at the weekend and thought I thought I had everything I needed till I got to the part that needed a spring compressor....... I moved house a few...

Thanks, Cooter :eagerness:

I fitted the belly pan at the weekend.

Yeah it's a bit strange at first but if you hold your legs tight to the frame it lessens the effect if it gets a bit too cool. Really glad you are able to ride for longer now, it makes such a...

Here are some pics of the seat cover on my 2008 XB12ss long. The seat cover is a mesh that allows air to pass through and allows the cooling effect to happen by not allowing you in direct contact...

Totally know what you're saying here as my seat heats up and after a while, once the heat has soaked into the seat it's really not a fun place to be.
I have been getting the...

I have an STT seat on my Lightning Long so the seats are totally interchangeable :eagerness:

Just on a design point, a great effort, but here are some points to consider for a MK2 version ;-)
How much pressure is the "catch can" going to see? Everybody loves billet but it looks like it...

Thanks guys, I will change my filter in 1k and see if there are any more. A problem shared is definitely a problem halved ;-)

Thanks Loose1 lets hope so! No Silverrider no work on the engine for a long time other than spark plugs, filters and oils. I have never removed any of the engine casings only the filler for the trans...

So today I changed the oil and filter on my 2008 xb12ss and I found some strange debris in the oil filter. The particles had a silicone rubber seal quality but I don't know what they could be from...

Stiffening the mount is exactly what Tpehak's project will do. The original mount has the central core bonded to the rubber vibration isolation compound in only a few places. This creates a certain...

Just a quick thought on this front isolator problem.... Has anybody filled their mount with Polyurathane sealant?
The mount has very similar gaps to the rubber mounts unsed on my Audi S4 rear diff...

Great idea but as people have already said the machining is gonna kill ya. I ran your step file through the instant online cnc machining website xometry.com. Just the front engine mount alone came...

Looks a great idea to me! My 2 cents would be the addition of some sort of fly screen, may be a roller blind style but mounted up side down. The main roller mechanism could mount to the top of the...

I am not sure if its year dependent but I thought the Uly seat fits over the rails of the tail section and not on top like the Lightning. I think you might need a Uly tail section?

I run the urban assault seat on my SS and love it compared to the original seat. I am 6'3" so it makes riding much more comfortable but I could still do with a gel pad or some thing in the seat just...

There are a couple on ebay at the moment. I have no affiliation with these sales, just trying to help :cool:

Some great options there chaps thanks for the feed back :up: I think I start by picking up some HF plugs to see if they make a difference for me and then if they work try out some getto style head...

I went for a ride the the other day and was surprised how my hearing was effected by the long period of wind noise. So I thought I would look in to ear plugs but then I started looking at custom...

I think a bike of the month contest is a great idea. I have been on other sites where they have the same thing and I always enjoy looking at the bikes. Plus they link to their build threads which I...

naaah its just down to what i need at the time. Some times i will use "Waze" and other times i will use google maps. A friend just suggested "Rever" app but i haven't had chance to use it yet."

I use a mixture of apps on my phone and hold it in a Ram mound X cradle on the handle bars like this set up https://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-149Z-UN7U. It all works quite nicely and the phone wont...
