Have owned heaps of bikes over the yrs.. nothing of mine stays standard for long .. my currant is a mk1 99 bandit 1200.. far from stock .. love to get out and clear the mind .. lot more detail in person.. keep it shiny side up all 🤙

Have a spanish 08 STX with 2 inch lift - Still 16 inch rims - went a -0 offset so they sit out further. Still run a 265/75/16 - 31.5 inch no drama - Side wall pokes out a little pass the guard but the tread is still inside guard.

Always looks better with center caps - the Black ones look better (y)

The injectors can lose their codes. Had it happen in my 08 D40. Mechanic had to reprogram the injectors as they had dropped all the codes. Once reprogramed with the codes off the injectors all is fine. I do however now have some on and off injector rattle and smoke. The smoke usually only...

Hi all.. Have read can put VE and VF front leather seats in just by swapping rails.. Does this apply to vx buckets as well does anyone know.. I only ask as my brother has a set just sitting around.. Would prefer Ford seats but I believe they don't make rails to suite anymore.. Any help...

Hey everyone. Service History with the Nav is very good. Always serviced regularly every 7500klms. Vehicle has just under 2300000 on the clock I don't do a lot of towing with it these days at most only 1500kgs at a time. Tray always has a little bit of weight in it due to dog gages and such...

Hi All.. Have had a bit of a look around the site and online but uncertain which direction to go. I have been told I will be up for a new turbo at some point this year. If I have to do it I want to look at a stage one upgrade as it seems only a small difference in price to get a stronger turbo...

So 0- wheels with 265 just fit under the guards. Tread stays just under guards ( like 1 or 2 mm) and only the bulge of sidewall so barley past guard. You got to look real hard to see it. Having a tray on the rear helps...

mate just as basic when set up .. Battery box with charge points in it... 120ah battery and a 120 watt solar panel.. I can get several days without power just off of the battery.. This will also depend on your fridges draw per hour and how cold u run it ( I stay at -3) The solar should be more...

Hey all. I'm getting some new 16x8 bead lockers for my 08 stx. they will be a 0 Offset. has anyone had any issues with this kind of offset ? Anyone got pictures with same size rims at all ? have been told it will be an aggressive looking profile which does not bother me just wondering if they...

I have bought their exhausts for several "cars" in the past and have not had that issue. Must be a new thing in their production checks i guess or related to the 4wd version. Good to hear about your findings though as I was about to go see them.

Turned out to be a broken wire between the relay and horn. So fresh single wire run from relay in the fuse box across to horn. Simple fix but a pig to find. Thanks for your thoughts Old Tony.
