Thanks Lyn, yeah I am fairly sure the yokes from the previous CB125F are a straight bolt on and that would help for sure with dropping the front. It would certainly sharpen up the bikes quite lazy steering. My mate that has the Guzzi has his own workshop with milling machine and lathe plus everything else you could ever want. In fact he used to make custom yokes for BMW Airheads as a sideline for a bit of cash not that he needs it. So fabricating something was also an option for Shadow but she copes well with her bike now, a year and 15k miles experience has made all the difference so the problem has gone away to a degree as she has learned to cope. She wants rid of the CBF now but is to young to do her A2 yet. I could see her getting a sporty looking CBR125R when finances allow, for her. Shadow is very envious of Grace's (family friend) CBR125R. Not something I am getting involved in. She has some health issues at the moment which I can't share on here that have curtailed her biking a little but she is still dead keen nonetheless.

Well at least it is warmer here this week, unfortunately it’s not dryer.

Pre ride report report! You twats need to learn from this.

I have a lathe and a milling machine and used to make Yokes and other bits for people...But the cost of Ali is such that it could well be cheaper to get an engineering firm to Lazar cut a top yoke..Just a thought. If you have a good engineering drawing it could workout not too expensive ..and repeatable ... Just looked at my supplier for Ali a lump of Ali 4" wide and 2" thick..( smallest length is 1mt ) is £257.80p Then the drawing and electric even if i did it for cost..See what you are up-against!! bloody inflation ... I am Shaw you will find anther Honda bike with top yoke that would work. Lyn..trying hard to keep my mind off life at the Mo.

I’m planning an adventure, if the weather cooperates and the forecasts for the two weeks starting on the weekend go according to my desires I shall start a ride report thread on the end of the weekend.

You think you’re so smart. And you are … for a Harley rider.

Basically pushed a broken bike onto a ferry to have drama. Twats!

what a boring pair of twats

Does that poor thing ever get dry. Weekend's coming and the forecast is rain again.

Not really a day ride but popped out for a couple of hours. Ended up at Damerells without really any intention of going this but I was near and needed to have a slash. Anyway had a look at what they had in stock. Had my Hornets twin in stock and a really nice VFR but not much else of interest. Washed the CBF off when I got back. Ended up only covering 60 miles. Better than nothing

Sorry to hear this Lyn, sending our condolences

The GS.

No, it’s a BMW, made in Germany by Hitler.

Meh, one of many, made in India. Not got a downer on that but it's all about price.

I like the look of this. https://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/2027-bmw-f-450-gs-first-look-hurry-up-and-wait?srsltid=AfmBOop7RqDe9vnv8Peus1lPugX50Q5XIwbaJbtchvSd5kQXGceB9Dmc

Which bike?

Watching weather forecasts unfold for the South. I might be doing something in a few days...

Like always, we're here for you Lyn.

Many thanks all...You may not think it but it does help:

No doubt
