    Very nice. Should be a piece of p^ss to fit - unless you hit the stuck Allen screw syndrome.

    Ugh, I had exactly that when I was taking mine off.
    Broke a large hacksaw blade in half and took about ten minutes to carefully file a wide enough groove for a stubby screwdriver :mad:

    Well you chaps are inspiring me with confidence!
    I have to say I got it for an absolute steal off fleabay, was a case of watching and waiting for a long while until one came up.

    Well it looks like these Honda carbon huggers are £295 new?
    All I’ll say is I paid about a quarter of that... I hope that classes as a steal but maybe I’ve been misled :eek:!

    If you've got a socket bit for the allen screws use that...the bloody spindly "drivers" or whatever they're called are sh*te :(

    MRA Racing screen fitted, very pleased with it and is way taller than standard without it looking like a Pan European!

    Only problem was..... The old screen was part of the paint job so I've lost the top of me number 1 :rolleyes: so I've strategically placed a Honda decal to create the illusion it's still there! :)

    Well, the Allen bolts came out very easily! But... it turns out they’re not even close to being right for the new hugger :rolleyes:

    FFS, don’t you hate it when things don’t go right.
    Fortunately there’s plenty of those available on the bay.

    You can easily make what's missing of that number 1 in vinyl.

    One of those days when I just didn't want to go home and put the bike away. Roads were quiet, brew stops were nearly empty, and even the petrol stations.

    Was one of those great days but nearly ruined by an old twat in a Land Rover pulling out on me and despite copious use of the horn and rev bombing he just kept coming and nearly had me in to the kerb. Naturally he did the 1000 yard stare went I went alongside him, but believe you me he will have been in no doubt as to how much of a twat I thought he was. Probably should have taken his wing mirror rather than just threatening to do so in order to get his attention.

    Did I mention that he was a twat:mad::mad::mad:
