Re: Front Brake Disks

Got to say that wavy discs confuse me, after all braking force is generated by forcing your pads on to the discs. I would have thought that as these discs have less surface area than standard discs this can only lead to a reduction in braking, they will no doubt cool faster but I cant see that they...

Headlight Upgrade

Looking to upgrade the headlight on my wifes 1000 Rap. I keep seeing something referenced but I can't find it. Is there an easy way to upgrade the wiring to the headlight? Or do I have to DIY it myself?

Re: Wot's yer tyres ?

Pirelli Diablo Corsa III on the buell. Great tyres but I can't use them and the rear is nearly shot after 8000km. Dunno what are on the Rap but it will be getting a set of Continental ContiMotion for her. I will probably go RoadAttacks on the 11 next, then SportAttacks once I can use them.

Re: Hi there from Australia

I am the mechanic for the assorted bikes so I am the one doing the reading about them and having questions.

We are up in Rocky, in Qld. So it is currently a chilly 20 C.

Hi there from Australia

Hi everyone.

I have been in love with Cagiva since I worked in a dealer 5 years or so ago. We recently bought an 04 Raptor 1000 for her bike.

I own an 08 Buell 1125r, and she owns (and is now selling) a 06 XV250 Virago and a 96 GS500.
