Thanks

I'll Keep the bike standard and work on the techneque taking into account all your tips.

Another ? Can you get an extended front mug guard to stop all the dirt disappearing into the engine.

This is my first st so any advise and tips welcome:D

Pyramid plastics do them but i dont have a URL cos i'm at work at the moment.

If you buy this weeks MCN it has a catalogue in it which I noted an extension for the ST front guard. Unfortunately I have already ditched the catalogue so can't give you the details.

ST front guard extender
 

Yep, pyramid plastics do them.

I brought mine from P&H who ordered it in for me.

A couple of words of warning though.
Make sure it is correctly fitted. Mine was fitted poorly by said dealer, and in the 25 mile ride home it was constantly rubbing the front tyre !
Also, the centre screw must have its point removed else it can wear a groove in the tyre.

If you buy one I'd strongly advise taking the front guard off in order to fit it correctly (the dealer didn't do this on mine - got a new guard out of them though so not all bad).

Cheers,
John.
