Got held up by an RSV4.

Nice bike, sounds nice, but you're clearly not used to traffic so feck off out of my way.

Fitted my US10 straps and had a quick play with the Bag. Definitely made the right choice with the 10 litre bag. Blade thanks very much highly apptieated for the code [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

8) Remember everyone; This is TB you're talking about. IMHO he will have meant that, and some of you may need to broaden your minds to fully appreciate his "slightly left field sense of humour".

Just be eternally thankful that you haven't seen his "swinger video "; It's been a few years now & I still have a bit of sick stuck in the back of my throat. (puke)

I was merely enquiring into the satisfactory positioning of Ross's bag people, as we all know the contents of ones' bag can become jumbled if not repositioned at regular intervals. This is especially pertinent when riding a motorcycle

OK as the answer, my bag is mostly squeezed in making it very secure, can get a bit annoying when getting on and off and fits slightly left when fitted!!

Glad the code worked and your are happy with the item Rossgo. What I do is sometimes put an extra item inside the bag to fill it out which stops it being squeezed in on the straps and helps secure it more central. Bit of playing around and I'm sure you will get it how you like it ;)

Blade. It's brilliant bit of kit. So happy with it. The 10litre seems big enough for everything I need to carry. Oh I love how quickly it releases as well. Such a simple thing but makes life so much more easier! Again big thanks especially having to send it twice [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]

Rossgo this item is really useful.

It allows you to strap the us10 on the bike as a tank bag. If you have trouble with your leg knocking it when fitted as a tail pack might be really useful for you and its not expensive at £18.99.

Getgeared have them in stock so my discount code should work again (y)

Picked the seat and the bike up today and it feels like a new bike. He reckoned that the clutch plates were original and still in ok nick for a 70500 mile bike. Much more of a positive feel with the braided clutch lever and new springs too. I think I may be out after work tomorrow to scrub the tyres in a bit too. The seat came out really nice as well. I can actually feel the foam in the seat rather than dried up brittle 18 year old vinyl with no 'give' in it. Well chuffed. I have a few little bolts and infills to replace with new Honda parts and then it'll be how I want it Image
