    Recording your Rides

    Hi.. Where do you have installed your digital recorder? I film with a Gopro and a digital audio recorder.. but have lots of wind noise in my audio recorder( Zoom H2 ). Are you using a external mic on the device, or using internal mic? My videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/tiagovs2000/videos...

    Keeping headers and pipes clean

    Hi.. Same here.. On the first week when i bought the bike, i've made 10km with rain.. and the water projection from the front tire made those brown spots appear instantly. Worse than any picture posted here. It's the difference of the temperature (hot headers vs cold water) that creates them...

    FZ8 - My videos Gopro 960

    Hi, Regarding is size, this windscreen works quite well. You can push it to 180km/h, with minor wind/air resistence side effects, on your body and helmet. For that, you have to help with your body position, but nothing radical.. (i'm 1,73m height). If i lean the head 2cm forward and down, i...

    FZ8 - My videos Gopro 960

    Hi This Windscreen works quite well. You can reach 180km/h almost wihtout any side effect of air resistance on the helmet or on top of the body. Without it, riding at 180km/h, it's a hell of muscule exercice on your arms and neck. I've made some experiences reaching 200km/h with the body...
