Apologies as I know this has been discussed but I just wanted an update on people's experience of running these types of batteries over a few seasons? I am on the other side of the pond so earthx aren't wildly available here but there is an established brand called JMT that I am thinking of...

Ok buzzed off fugly suzuki badge mounts. Found 2 pinhole leaks underneath. Have covered with good bit of jb weld. Looks very solidly covered. Really took my time with it ;) Was gonna treat the inside to a phosphoric acid rinse ~ is this now not possible? Will jb weld stand up to phosphoric acid...

Am welding up a saddlebag bracket this weekend and want to use a canvas army shoulder bag. If the canvas bag rests partially on the rear shock, will this interfere with it's proper working?

Starting to get a little brisk here (London) in the evenings and thinking about riding in the autumn. How do you keep warm without making your bike look like a retirement cruiser? Have you found a screen that buffets the wind but still looks cool? Hand guards that look ok? With our often...

I want to rewire my Suzuki Savage build around a central fuse block. I have used it on another bike with success (xs650) but I'm a bit stuck as to how the ignition side of things will work on the Savage. If someone with the knowledge could once this over then that would be most helpful as I am...

Want to stick on some knee pads to my gt185 tank. What are some that are universal/glue on that don't need mounts and don't have logos? I have some Triumph t140 knee pads which are universal but quite big, would like more options. Might be cool to get a list going?

About to paint outside of tank and want to know what people are using/sourcing in the uk? Not looking for perfection, just decent fuel proof finish. Was gonna go for either of these options: Halfords spraypaint then 2k spraymax clear or Rustoleum then 2k spraymax clear Anyone had experience...

My bike has a stock ignition switch (now broken) that was 4 wire and on/on/off. I want to replace it with a simple 2 wire on/off switch. Is this set up possible?: 2 wire on/off ignition switch - 4 way connector - 4 wire loom? Connect one switch wire to the power wire from the loom? Connect...

Is it really worth lining the tank? Old Gt185 tank, wondering if it's worth the hassle (and expense, POR15 = £50) or I should just do the jiggy bolts thing and line it with some 2 stroke? Happy to do it properly but if for all that hassle (done it once a long time ago) vs the jiggy jiggy bolts...

Want to swap speedometers (ls650 to honda, suzuki whatever I like the look of). Don't care about ratios as I'm gonna do a custom face eventually anyway. Just want to know if the top connectors (cable to to underside of speedometer) are generally the same on Japanese bikes?

I am sorting out some mid-sets for my ls650 scrambler/tracker build and and have used a threaded 6mm stainless rod to go from the right brake pedal back to the rear drum brake lever. I see most people use a solid rod - is this just for looks or is the extra stiffness important for safety? I...

I've got an Emgo shorty muffler sitting on the shelf at the moment and before I go to the hassle of fitting it, wondered if it is actually possible to get good performance with my LS650 Suzuki Savage project and this type of muffler? Is this size of muffler a compromise on performance? or is the...

Let the tank staring begin: GT380 - tried and tested favourite GT185 - different but maybe too small Honda ??? had lying around, too high, looks shit.

me latest project is a suzuki savage and I want to swap out the ugly tank. Anyone suggest some tanks that have large tunnels? Needs to be around 3" wide as the savage has a thick square backbone and tank mounts and all kinds of pain in the arse shit to fit around. Already tried a enfield...
