Took my alloy footrest hangers of and sent them to the powdercoaters for a covering of satin black.
Anyone any suggestions for replacement mounting screws/bolts of i am correct they are M10x1.25 x30 but I can only find socket head or hex head not the domed socket heads like OEM

Just bought new silicone hoses in a nice grey for mine, one of my hoses on the thermostat is looking a bit tired. Now to find a warm day to fit it all.

At 6:55 in the morning, coming to work from ten inches of snow (and still snowing) - this is a provoking question.Â

Did you ride in the snow ?
Â
I know someone in Norway, inside the arctic circle,, a female music teacher in a primary school, who fits studded tyres to her maxi scooter and rides all year round....making us real riders look like wimps.
Â
After doing this she jumps on a scooter with studded tyres and an apron over her lower half and rides on the ice !
No, I didn't. The closest I've been a bike lately was carpe orry:

Yeah, I know a few driving at winter, too. Small(ish) bikes like DRZ400, studded tires. Methinks it would be a better idea in the countryside where you roads would be covered with snow and Ice for long periods. Where I live (near Oslo), bigger roads are salted in the winter making them full of mud-like, moist goo. On the smaller roads, you may find a thin ice coating when conditions are right. I guess even studs aren't sufficient under these conditions. If you need to, of course, it would be possible. It just doesn't look that fun.....
Checked the new battery, After six full days its still got three full lights showing! My old normal BLOODY HEAVY battery would be dead as Le Dodo after just four! :banana:
Picked up the footrest hangers from powder coat today and got them fitted up. Going to need to tidy up mounting bolts with some satin black hammerite as stainless alteratives seem to be non existent.
