Fowlers parts? They should ship worldwide

You could try the MotoGadget M Blaze lights... They are very bright and tiny

It looks really good. I think you should buy some Euro-spec turn signals, much prettier! LOVE your licence plate!

That doesn't look like an 801!

Dude, how long have you had your bike? A month? I think you win the prize for most mods in the shortest time! :p

Exactly. I would look for something decent but cheaper! A Nitron would be cheaper and they are really good. or>>>

Just wondering and looking at potential upgrade options. Mine has just failed and it is booked in for inspection with my local (rip-off) Husky dealership.

Thanks for the info, its annoying but I will get it fixed under warranty. Hope my bike isn't out of action for too long!

Yay! I've got a new issue.... Leaking rear shock. Heat shield obviously did nothing!

Honestly I don't find it especially bad compared to other bikes I have owned. (Try a Ducati Panigale for example, it will roast your man parts!) You could look into fitting a different thermo switch to make the fan cut in sooner, or a fuel controller (like the FuelX) but I'm not sure it would...

Enjoy @yonsson thanks for being such a good source of info. That is a hell of a bike. I approve!! Enjoy!!

Your XR1200 is very cool Tom! Love it! I like character too... I also own an Indian Scout Bobber and that thing sounds like a 70s muscle car. I love it.

I would defo buy the 801 again! What an awesome bike! Not sure its a like for like comparison with the R9T! I owned an R9T and whilst it was very well built (built like a tank!), it was not nearly as playful, nimble and quick as the 801. It's also in a different price bracket. I found the R9T...

Did you have any issue with the exhaust burning the right side bag?

Looks like a plastic composite? That would be cheeky for the £200 price they charge. Would also make it less durable.
