Be nice if when you buy a brand new bike they gave you an option on set height etc.. rather than making you pay again for a new seat!

Got a pic of a bike with one fitted?

BMW offer 3 seat heights; standard and a lower and higher option. Was a blessing to get the higher one on my F800! I was really amazed at the difference it made.

Yeah, but even with BMW the bike comes with a standard seat and you have to buy the lower or higher seat. They don't let you spec which one you want from new?

I bought a 700GS new, but it was an LS (low chassis option), so it was a given it would have the low seat.

I agree you should be offered the option, but was just highlighting how well it worked, or at least for me it did!

My brother has an Audi S6 with 450bhp and 4 wheel drive, it's very quick and feels like it's stuck fast to the road. There are some bloody good cars about these days

Got back from MTB racing to find a box from Powebronze.

Most techincal part was opening the box The actual fitting was a complete doddle and looks lovely to me.

What does it look like from the front?

It looks nice, how does it attach to the bike?

Yamaha have kindly put 4 holes there for their version of the fly screen, into rubber/insert mounts, it bolts directly into them as the Yamaha one would do. Powerbronze supply 4 spacers which gives you a bit of room to get the key in... and maybe to change windflow ?

dark it's night time.

I'll be out on it tomorrow if the weatherman is correct and will do shots.

Distinctive,which is something we've lost with bike styling.

I like that cyclops look.

So i did 30 miles with the screen.

It's now back in the box and won't be coming back out. It does help with the wind in terms of buffeting, but doesn't in terms of noise and simply pushes the wind noise more intensely onto the helmet. So all in all a complete fail really.

I was gonna be nice, but now you're not keeping it... it looked shit.

Looked like a Vex Goblin off of Destiny.

LOL don't hold back now, it's not like they're one of our sponsored vendors or anything...

The good news is, it was free. So i'll email them and see if they want it back.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I might think it looks crap, someone else might think it looks great... probably not, but maybe.

They should make bikes with decent fairings

We'd all then do 150mph. Not everyone wants that.

Suzuki did, but it was extra ugly

Do Puig do one. ??

I wonder if you could make a Rickman Polaris fit the MT-07?
