    Hi Greg. How much better is view on Mirrors . I fitted Tracer mirrors and bought bracket to fit master cylinder for right side . Much better view but if I can get my hads out of mirror view may go for risers . I did the same on an ST1300 some years ago worked well

    I think it may have something to do with how vehicles are registered when new . i.e. a friend of mine bought an old stock ST1300 that was 4 or 5 years old when he registered it new ,in some countries I think it would have to registered as 4 years old even though never registered . It seems to be an anomaly in certain countries.

    10th number of the VIN will tell you the year I think they only produced them in 2018 ( J on VIN ) or 2019 ( K on VIN )

    Hi I have recently replaced front tyres with Michelin Pilot Power 3,s Done about 1000kms so early days but used in both wet and dry conditions and very pleased. I got 11000kms from original tyre so be interesting to see how these go

    Not as many as when riding my two wheeler . But here in NZ most Harley riders only wave to Harleys and even BMW riders seem to be a bit above a wave . Everyone has a double take look at the Niken but for me thats part of its magic

    I came off a Tracer to the Niken and find the Niken generally not bad on the suspension front . Rear a bit harsh but some have reported a change of tyres can help with that . I have a PR5 ready to go on the rear so be interesting to see how that changes things. I have a Nitron R1 shock that was on my tracer I am thinking of asking my local suspension man if it can be re-valved /sprung to fit the Niken. I find the front suspension superb in all conditions

    Had engine light come on after battery died and tried to start it with flat battery. Had is come on before with rear wheel spinning on centre stand and that needed trip back to dealer. Cheap scanner and lead from Ali Express delivered in a week does the job great Link for Adapter Lead https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001370337677.html...

    A few pictures of my bracket just made it out of a spare piece of aluminum bar I had in shed. I had intended for to fit on inner edge of threaded holes in swing arm but fitted it on outside in the end because of profile on inner side of swingarm mad it not square. I would like to make a neater job but its been on for 6000 kms now and works ok . No problems with either stands on bike

    Managed to find a second hand Abba lift with spindle adapter kit locally . Made up a copy of the attachments for lifting front out of some box section that way destined for the scrap yard. Works ok, so clean up and a coat of red paint will look like the real thing Fitted my new Power 3 front tyres be interesting to see how they go ( 10,000kms from original fronts but well worn ! )

    I fitted a Puig Screen. Much better than stock small screen for me . Good protection in rain and turbulence forces water down off my helmet visor. I had a Puig screen on my Tracer before and that why I went with the same
