    Tyco's 2015 Race Bike

    Looks fantastic: http://www.motorcyclenews.com/sport/british-superbikes/2015/february/tyco-complete-bmw-switch-with-mcn-show-unveiling/ Apologies to those with 2015 bikes, but, I guess after seeing these pics, that there's a whole load of new bits that you didn't realise that you needed ;)

    MRA Screen

    I want to buy a new screen and I like the overall look of the well recommended MRA screen, i.e. the tinted, slightly taller one: http://www.bikehps.com/acatalog/BMW_S1000RR_2010_Onwards_MRA_Motorcycle_Double_Bubble_Racing_Screens.html However, I really don't like look of what I think is...

    S1000R - fugly or what?

    Not sure if it's a good or bad thing for our bikes, but the new S1000R is one fugly-faced munter IMO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhboPi5ja3g&sns=em Hope it looks better in the flesh! :hororr:

    Gilles TCA.GT chain adjuster

    Hi. I bought a really nice set of these off eBay, but they didn't come with any instructions (fitting or using them for every day adjustment). It looks straight forward enough, but I wonder if anyone has a copy of the paperwork they can supply me with (scan or take a piccy with your phone), as...

    BMW Softbag 2 Large

    I've had a couple of PMs asking m about the Softbag 2 that's shown on my Avatar, so if it's useful and for future reference (and if anyone has any additional tips for me), here is some info on how I fit it... Firstly, I have to say how brilliant this bit of kit is and I can fully recommend it...

    Paint the plastic trims?

    Like many others, i don't like the black plastic trim panels on the sides of the tank and top of the side fairings...especially as they look like they've been made out of old plastic egg cartons! So, rather than replace them with carbon, I wondered if I could/should get them painted in Thunder...

    Hello hello. Another convert joining you

    After test riding a S1000rr a month ago, I've finally been convinced to part with my beloved MV Agusta F4 and I pick up my 2011 Thunder Grey bike from a dealer this Saturday. Whilst I loved the MV's styling, it was just too unreliable and felt like an unsafe old tractor after a couple of hours...
