    would this be of interest to the group

    following a recent post regarding headlight on the Mt 07, I was impressed with the Cyclops hd4 3800 lm so emailed the company. it would appear that they would be prepared to look at a group discount for our group as they currently do so for the Fz07 group.

    suspension link

    Hi all We are all aware of the suspension shortcoming on the MT, and many a discussion has been had by me and many others. to throw a further item in the ring that works out cheaper than Maxton is something that appears to do the same as the Maxton set up with a cartridge on the front and...
