I'm thinking about using these guys for the frame covers and fly screen: Motorcycle / Bike Wrapping Not sure where they're based. I used Plastidip on my fly screen but it looked like suede.

If you are trying to apply rim tape in sections, make sure you have cleaned the wheel properly (with something like isopropyl alcohol). Then spray the wheel with water (small garden spray bottle is best) and apply the tape sections. They can then be manoeuvred for a few minutes and should stay...

Brave Mother. Very sorry for her loss but I'm glad she felt it necessary to release the video.

Love that screen...peed I bought the yammy fly screen now :(

It cost £400 and half an hours labour to fit. Far cheaper than an exhaust system and a very real, noticeable improvement in handling. I've not checked out front suspension yet as this is not a problem for me (yet!). As already mentioned by Ralph, check out Maxton for cartridges or Hyperpro...

I've had a Nitron Sport shock fitted. Only been on a few days but it's made a hell of a difference. Never had the need to upgrade a shock before but then again, I'm no longer as light as I used to be.

I had same reservations about the screen after I bought it but now happy I chose it. There is no wind protection at all but I bought it for the look rather than practical reasons. I may plasti dip it matt black to take the shine off.

Wherever you get the rim tape from, the easiest to apply are those that are pre curved for your wheel size. Also, I found applying them wet (spraying a mixture of water and washing up liquid) is easier than applying dry. It allows you to reposition the tape and avoids wobbles like in the...

They're called Ductails for the rear end (fits under the numberplate so useless if you're going to install a tailtidy) or someone may develop a hugger extension (not that the MT has much of a hugger to extend!!)

You may wish to follow what this guy is doing Yamaha MT-07 modifications part 2. Quick update - YouTube He is also fitting the DNA filter/airbox and will be fitting a Power Commander too.

Yep, straight through. Easy to fit and remove, which I assume is necessary when adjusting the chain.

I've fitted the Evo Tech bobbins and they work fine (also available from R&G). I was worried that they were spaced wider than the normal screw in type but my paddock stand fits fine with them.

I was advised by the dealer to buy the cheapest shampoo i could find that doesn't contain wax. Problem is, I've looked at a number of specialist shops and supermarkets and could only find Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo and conditioner (sounds like a beauty product!!).It works fine but is expensive...

I use Muc-Off cycle cleaner. It's safe to use of brakes, bearings etc. and is biodegradeable. Spray on, work in with a brush and rinse off. For paintwork, treat the gloss and matt finishes differently. You should be careful with Matt Grey and use a shampoo without wax.

I've found that braided hoses add feel. I've had two bikes with this type of caliper and both have been improved by fitting braided hoses in the 2 front line config.If you're concerned about locking the back brake, leave as standard.
