Re: End of an era 2

I bought the humbug from Humbug recently. It is my project for the year and hopefully will be my comfortable track bike next year !

Re: Unsecure website...here?

I think running HTTPS should be considered. It will make the site more secure and allow me to access the site from my work environment :oops:

r12s de-cat choice

Hi guys, I have 100% std r12s 25k miles. I have a used straight through Remus head system in the post to me and a standard header system with the cat removed. I also have a rapid bike easy dongle ready to install. I want a bit more noise so that I can hear downshifts and any extra torque that might ...

Re: I hope I like my r1200s

Yes, I really like the bike. I changed the brake fluid last weekend as it was the colour of weak coffee. All went well, then I read the Haynes cartoon book that insists, only dealers should perform this as it is an ABS model. Hey ho. Also popped some new (SBS SP) pads in. Brakes are better now, more...

Re: MoT QUERY-ish

Old thread I know but I could not resist providing evidence that demonstrates that the ABBA stand can list the rear wheel :D

Re: r12s 190/55 too big for you ilmburger hugger? Do this

Yes standard tyre size is 190/50, but I wanted 190/55 which should give me slightly better turn in.
Thanks

r12s 190/55 too big for you ilmburger hugger? Do this

After fitting a dunlop roadsmart IV 190/55 I realised that my ilmburger hugger was now unusable ! After research I realised that I needed an HP2 sport hugger for this tyre size. Boo. I decided to make a bracket to move the hugger upwards and slightly backwards. I spent an hour measuring and visualis...

Re: I hope I like my r1200s

New Dunlops fitted. Thanks for the tyre advice but I feel most comfortable on Dunlops. I have bought far too many 211s, 212s and TTs overs the years. I selected Roadsmart IVs for the r12s. HOWEVER, the rear 190/55 does not work with the ilmburger carbon hugger. Having now researched the issue on her...

Re: I hope I like my r1200s

Well I did like the ride. Stand outs for me are, Such a roomy and comfortable riding position. Probably the most accurate chassis that I have ridden. You can pick out long fast lines from way back and not be disrupted by road bumps. Ohlins suspension seems to be in good condition so far. Clutch and ...
