If there is a crack I would be worried about water getting in. Rain or when washing the bike. Not good inside your engine. 😖

The kids know it as 'the fish and chips rack' for its usual load! Exactly! I've kept mine on my Tiger 100, very useful, a forerunner of tankbags. 👍 34

I had a good nosey at the 400 bikes on Sunday. They do look good build quality and look bigger than a 400 single. 👍

Some photos from Scottish Bike Show yesterday. Appearances from Carl Fogarty, John McGuiness, Glenn Irwin, Ruben Xaus and John Mcphee.
Harris framed RC30, not one but 3 Hurricanes! One was BSA A75. 40

Look in Aladdin's Cave at top of page. Honda model ID List
CL350 on 'page 22' Looks like K2 but should be 7 numbers, not 6. 41

Saw an interesting idea in classic mechanics mag this month - a one foot by 1 inch magnetic strip handily placed for dropping on bolts / tools etc while working. Saves scrabbling for bolts on the floor when you container gets knocked over..DAMHIK😉 Magnetic tray. Best invention ever. 👍 43

The bike looks much, much better with the new bars. I'm impressed with your workshop. I always envisage mine looking like that, but never get anywhere near it! 🤔

I rode a 1500 Goldwing years ago for an article in Ride magazine. I didn't like the look of the fully faired, kitted up bikes, but I was really impressed with the smooth engine, low centre of gravity and the ease of handling for such a heavy machine. The early naked versions are definitely growing on me. 👍
