After deciding to ship my 08 blade from Iceland to the UK tried to change speedometer from KPH-MPH,seems only possible if bike is a (E TYPE) which it is not, will be re-registering in uk and regulations demand speedo shows MPH. Thought of buying another speedo in uk and fitting it, is this a possibility without to much hassle, anyone with suggestions ?? Picture has now been added.
my mate did the same with his bike from Spain.. new second hand clocks.. sorted. Its an RR7 and the headlights needed no adjustment..
Was selling your Bike and just buying a UK bike a No No, either price wise or because you've personalised too much? ........just asking like outa interest!
sinewave the problem here is there is no cash,( just ash from the last volcano ) i have had some offers but where far to low, im not prepared to give it away just because i am moving. The other prob is its the norm here to take p/x plus cash .. dont want that either, and i have put most of the usual bling on the bike, saying all that the money i got from selling here would mean i could only buy a crap bike in the uk.
A pic can be found on my FB page, Carl Hamilton reykjavik have not fathomed out how to download pictures here
Welcome There's a couple of ways to upload pics I upload to photobucket and copy and paste the image code into the text box Or Look at the top of the text box, you will see a strip of icons 3rd from the right is a pic frame (next to a film strip) click the frame and then browse computer, then upload....... Job done
thx will try later,,have been looking at the HMdash , perfect solution but big money. So im looking for a oem dash with around 8k on it,
Yes Colin,arrive in uk 27 may, so im looking for a late low mileage bike,possible i find some thing on the forum, hate to say it but thinking of change of marque. I fancy a big v twin.
Miles? WTF? They allow LHD, dodgy US style rear lights and then demand an out dated obsolete measurement system based on the length of some dead soldiers stride? Can't you just leave it as an overseas registered vehicle? Lots of others do from the evidence presented along the embankment every day... H
Have now sold my Fireblade, just could not be bothered to go through all the paperwork and cost, soooooooo what do i buy on my arrival in the uk ???
Well there is plenty of choice, it looks a buyers market in the uk unlike here in Iceland. The Honda dealer here just imported the new SP Fireblade ...price tag equivalent to 20k. Have my eye on a couple of KTM RC8R , I just fancy a change, arrive next week and will find something im sure. Anyone with input on the RC8R, god bad points.
