Bit of a longshot, but here goes. Does anyone have a Garmin Zumo 660 bike mounting with loom attached lying around on the shelf that they would part with? I have a spare one, but despite two cleared garages and searches I cannot find it. So willing to buy a used one having seen the price of new ones...

And after a false start, longer Goodrich line fitted, bled and working and now not leaking, so test ride in the morning.

Thanks

Wunderlich bar extensions now on, just the extended SS front brake hose to go - plus bleeding which I am not looking forward to on this ABS system. Something to do while the rest of the world watches some chap called Charles get a gold weight put on his head this weekend.

Well bar risers are fitted just got to change the brake hose for a longer one now. Can't turn the bars to left lock with the standard hose and the extended hose supplied in the kit is only 2 cm longer and needs to be 6 or 7 cm longer. Had to get one made up by Friction Hydraulics in Telford - £20 in...

Yep Phil, looking forward to that beer and a good biking weekend, as long as Mr Parry has found a virgin in Wrexham to sacrifice and guarantee the sunshine. My mate who was supposed to get my bar extensions machined now says it will be next weekend - hey ho.

Just updated my Garmin sat-nav and it worked.
The IT gods (gremlins) must have taken a day off from screwing me up .
Just have to get the bar extenders sorted out now and bolted onto the bike.
Looking forward to it.

Unfortunately, that is the weekend of the Bol D'or 24 hour race and Mr Parry of this parish and I will be "on tour" in the south of France for a couple of weeks.

Maybe Steve, but it was much more fun using the petrol in two wheeled conveyances that eating Farleys Rusks!

You'll be needing some cylinder head savers then if you want to get round some of the tighter hairpins and roads Steve usually takes us along.

Spot on Paul!
That's why most of us in our late 60's and 70's are going deaf and the brain functions are disappearing.
Too much head banging to Cream, Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and AC/DC etc. when we were in our teens and supposedly growing up.

I'm surprised that you both are looking to replace an R1200RS with a Guzzi.
I realise that a change is as good as a rest, but what is wrong with the RS?
Detailed answers please, as the R1200RS is what I would aim for when funds allow.

I guess that depends upon which system you have fitted to the bike.
More details needed before anyone can give you an answer I think.

Hi Chris - for about 10 years I used to switch to winter tyres in November and back to normal ones about April. I bought a set of s/h rims from a breaker and then fitted the winter tyres and swopped them myself each season. I have to say they were superb in the wet and in snow, but on warm dry days ...

OK that's me booked in as well.
