Speak for yourself Wild-Kat!

Welcome to the site Andy. Hope you're enjoying the 'cat - well maybe not in the recent weather
Tell us more about the bike and your riding history, or post up a pic of the bike. And, if we can be of help, let us know. Most questions will get you a knowledgeable answer - depends on the questions really!

Hope you can make one of the group rideouts sometime. :whoop:

Cheer,
Chris

only question i got at the min is does anyone know were i can get a cheap r/h fairing as some idiot pulled out on me an i ended up putting the bike down the road,

Hi Andy

I agree with WKW.........it is a madhouse here.
No doubt you've probably worked that but out already.
I've sure you and your bike will love it here.

Sorry to hear about your SMIDSY incident........Hope you manage to get your panel cheap.

Cheers
Rosco

Hi Andy , there are loads on ebay at the moment in various colours and various prices.

aboard Andy

And yes - it is a madhouse - but even a funhouse

Maybe this could be an option for you :idea:

Fairing

There are more designs than just the Rossi design...
But i heard that the quality is not the best - but it is cheap

Or just look to the needed parts on ebay like espaceman3 wrote

Hi, and welcome.

Hope you get the fairing sorted without too much pain. Other than eBay, I don't have any suggestions. If it is cracked, then it can be welded - but isn't always a cheap option.

Hey Andy, welcome to the nuthouse sorry you've already had a wee slide but glad it's not put you off

Suzie

greeting and all right there mate
wambo

well i managed to get a second hand cover for 20quid an fitted for nothin the most expensive part of it was the fact my tyres were knackered so i ended up gettin a new set an then the back break needed servicing so all in all its cost me £400 quid but thats the price u pay for havin fun lol

£400 ...ouch bet that hurt ,but just think of all the enjoyment you are going to get out of it - eventually when the weather perks uo

wernt that bad £250 of that was tyres so only £150 an tha got me a second hand fairing an a engine casing

andy horsley wrote:wernt that bad £250 of that was tyres

What tyres did you get Andy?

Well Steve, that's exactly what I was going to ask ...especially for £250.

dunlop roadsmarts i think they were actually abut £230 fitted

I will be interested to see what you think to them. i need new tyres shortly & roadsmarts & d207evolutions are among some i am thinking about.

well i only done bout 150 miles since i got them but i'll tell ya what the roadsmarts stick like glue to the road, but as for the 207's stay well away i had them before an there slippy as hell in anythin except a perfectly dry road

I had the same experience, put me right off Dunlop - went running back to what I know, Michelin. It's good to know what is good out there though.

i was told to stay away from michelins aswell but its each to their own when it comes to tyres

that's what i have - i get on fine with them but then again i ain't the fastest!

hijacking this into a tyres thread even more, I've got the Metzeler sports-touring compound tyres on my 'cat and so far so good (probably done about 150 miles in dry and 150 miles in wet so far).
