Re: Wanted... Aftermarket headers for my R1200S

Re: Refurbished Wheels

best looking wheels i've seen for a long time. Just a shame that they didn't put the swing arm on the other side so the wheel could be shown off better!

Re: Recommended screen R12S

i bought a Puig and it cracked within a month - it seem too tight for the aperture and had to be stretched into fitting. Mate has a MRA which seems a lot better

i had the same feeling last year on mine - i took out the plugs and one was completely a different colour where it had not been firing - replaced all the plugs even though i suspected a coil - problem solved
