It's pretty solid actually.......and installing it seems to be be pretty simple because it matches up to the holes on the bracket supporting the screen. Maybe even I can do it? I'm looking forward to this, make sure you do a write up in the Motorcycle workshop section so we can all benefit from your experience 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Knox. Expensive but a brand that can actually hold up to torrential rain. My left foot did get wet once. Because I hadn't done them up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always said that the GS750 was the best allround bike in the 70's! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But took a few pics of what interested me. I think there is some sort of squabbling going on with the regular bike night crew, quite a weird atmospheric vibe. Not that I care really but probably explains why it was quiet. Like that Laverda. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will order some tonight, anyone has any recommendations for rain plastic pants and jacket? I have been using Richa gear through the last UK winter, totally dry and not ridiculous price.

Mr Slowly occasionally uses a Richa waterproof jacket and it is a good jacket. Well made and does the job. Only problem with it is it's lined so it's thick. This makes it warm (too warm for Spain) and it's bulky ie doesn't pack down small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I have a very nice set of Alan keys. With one missing. Just one. Drives me nuts. JUST PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU GO IT FROM, ITS NOT THAT DIFFICULT. I have a second secret tool kit they don't know about 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are talking at cross purposes, when you mentioned lining I thought you were talking about this sort of thing. To be fair though I am wearing my Richa Leather and Aussie Bikers textile most of the time now it’s hot. Look Pete Allen keys 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screen came off quite easily.......but then it was taking out the bolts on the bracket that's fitted on the bike! I'm sure you won't be surprised that I had to call the wife in! Lining the holes up on the mobile bar with the holes on the bracket was a nightmare......but eventually we got the damn thing on! Next stage......mounting the mobile holder on the bar! Point of order, this should be in the Motorcycle workshop section. Sort it out ........... .. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
