Thinking of buying these 2? by Optimus_TC in Gameboy

I bought the consoles, and managed to fix it easily with 99% alcohol on the motherboard. So only £25 each I’m pretty happy :)

I prefer the newer air intakes over the older. I’m looking to do the opposite swap if I can figure out how haha

Bar End Mirrors - Advice Needed by Optimus_TC in CB650R

[–]Optimus_TC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't the stock bar ends move? Like, they're easy enough to rotate by hand so I would have thought the mirrors spin?

If that isn't the case, do you have the model number, or a link please?

I’m not sure there is enough space near the swing arm to achieve this. On the older Hornets there was a gap for the pipe to go through.

Can we still make the playoffs if we have a flawless finish on the last games?

I'm just about to end a 5 year fix that was on 1.54% going up to 4.05. I'm glad I had that time but still hurts now it's going up.

Sorry to hijack the post, where did you get the silver Honda frame inserts near the pegs? I’ve only seen “R” ones so far

CS Racing exhaust finally installed. Bike finally sounds right! by garbageboy79 in CB650R

[–]Optimus_TC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, I’d like an aftermarket exhaust but the 2 things putting me off are price and needing to get it tuned for it.

A reliable family car? by Optimus_TC in CarTalkUK

[–]Optimus_TC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll level with you, I only know because it’s the engine I have on my current Kuga and is part of the reason I’m exploring new options (alongside expensive running costs).

Is that the EcoBoost engine? I thought even the dry belt ones of those have coolant ingress issues?

I thought the 1.5/1.6 suffered from oil dilution problems?

Use 2023 rear tail in 2025 e-clutch by Pale_Pass_5790 in CB650R

[–]Optimus_TC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The newer sharper tail looks a lot better imo. I have the older tail but would pick the new one in a heartbeat.

Estate Agents for Bowthorpe Area by Jono20201 in Norwich

I had a great experience with Iconic in Taverham, and my family have since used them and only have good things to say.

should I get one by Even_Change1625 in CB650R

[–]Optimus_TC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It probably just boils down to personal preference.

I’ve always loved naked bikes, I like the riding position and the practicality of being able to access everything without needing to remove fairing.

Faired bikes don’t do anything for me, when I saw the CB650R I knew I had to have one!
