    Perhaps the reason you cannot find one is ............. that all those nasty black coloured wheels have been sprayed a nicer colour

    Un- plugged Trickle Charger killed my battery !

    This was the first time that I left the charger connected to the battery and not pugged in, never crossed my mind at the time that it would discharge and kill the battery in just over a week I suppose I need to ride more and park the bike less or buy a descent battery conditioner

    Un- plugged Trickle Charger killed my battery !

    Update, apparently the trickle charger I have been using may produce excessive parasitic drain if left connected to the battery (Halfords make 1,25 amp charger). Anyway I have taken my bad battery back to the shop from which it was purchased, which they have tested and found it to be faulty...

    cockpit comfort

    6'1" 210LBS Stock set up (seat in lower position) no problems but the most I have ridden at one time is just over 300 miles. Tried the seat on higher setting but I felt no difference in comfort, only more difficult putting my foot down when comming to a stop (31" inseam)
