Arse, that's going to be expensive.

That explains why they were so keen on selling me a gel seat and an
automatic lube system

 

Krusty van Hoogstraten has a nice ring to it too.

 

I used to keep the lid off a Branston pickle jar under the seat for
such uses.

 

HFM!
Yeah that goes somewhat beyond beer tokens

 

Quite. I still reckon they're pretty good VFM though.

 

And fucking effective too and *far* better than the OEM and the usual after
market screens.

 

If you manage to sort out a replacement Vario and you're left with the
hinges, I'd be happy to relieve you of them for a consideration. Beer tokens
or coin of the realm as both are acceptable to me. I fucked one of the the
hinges on mine when the bike lawn darted into a ditch. I've glued it into
one position, but it's now un-adjustable.

I had one on the K12, it was brilliant.

 

I know you were raving about them before - what exactly did it achieve
on the K12? Reduction in wind noise? You're a tall bloke anyway, I'm 6'
and, apart from the wind noise, seems pretty good as stock.

 

My Versys came with one from new so I took it for granted... until I
had to ride a customer's with a standard screen. The stock screen was
absolute shite

It has a lip that deflects the wind over your head & away from the top of
the shoulders. They work a treat.

 

funnily enough, I have a Sargent Gel seat and an automatically lubed
shaft...

 

No further questions M'lud

 

Go **** yourself ..!

Sure, no probs. Let me enter into negotiations with K ...

Thanks be to Alex for getting UKRM back on track

 

Ah, I was watching *my* inbox. The zymurgy one is valid.

Or did it go with the bike, (if other posts are to be interpreted
correctly ...) (1)

Paul.

(1) Nods to Champ.

 

D'oh! YGM.

No, bike's not up for sale yet.
