New Bike - is it an import and why is the sidestand so bl**dy short !

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bryanj:
Side stand is the wrong one, it should have a bolted on rubber bit on the end.

It should tell you on the V5 when you get it if its an import.

As far as i know there is no difference UK to import seats

Clutch cover was not originaly chromed, stripping and polishing will not be easy(impossible on the bike) probably easier to get a used one and polish that

z1100r:
There is something wrong with that - unless its a photo illusion.....looks like its ran into a wall. The forks are practically vertical. I would check the yolks out. I thought I read somewhere that UK bikes all had black painted light/number plate brkts. My UK K3 did.

 Compared to Brit and Rusky jallopies its a Rolex.

LesterPiglet:
My F has the black tail light bracket, and it doesn't have a rubber on the sidestand tho I don't know if it's original. Still keeps the bike upright at the correct angle....I think.

Tomb:
I've had a few F's but never had a sidestand with the rubber foot flip up thingy. :-\

The rear light bracket reminds me of a CD175 bracket thats been chromed.

mickwinf:
i think the rubber end was US models only as was the chrome number plate bracket
