Re: Arctic Circle riding gear

Back in 2003 my brother and I rode up above the arctic circle in Norway, I was on a SV650S. Luckily for us there was a Newcastle - Bergen ferry then which we took, cutting out lots of road miles getting there. We did go in June as the plan was to camp above the arctic circle on the longest day for t...

Re: Waking up the 400 after it's winter sleep (surprise!)

Not authorised to view this, any ideas? Can you just manually click through using the menu above? Board Index > Katana Technical > How to Guides > Converting to LED indicators... Does that work? The link works for me whether logged in or not so not sure why you (and SmallKat) had issues. Maybe it's...

Re: EK12

Code saves me 70p on direct ferries price :) I just did 01/07/2026 daytime out and 06/07/2026 daytime back and Stena was £176.05 (Economy with code) and Direct Ferries was £218, maybe you get a better discount with all those trips you do ;) Personally I prefer to do Economy out but Flexi back, just...

Katana 400 forks (new)

Given the price of re-chroming, these might well do the job

I got similar for my 250 which will get it through the MOT, as Philpotts are now £300 a pair!

Re: EK12

I'm hoping to get to this one :-) I'm not sure on the sailing date yet (possibly daytime or night on Wednesday), I'll not book until next year. I would look to go to Pedda's for the Thursday evening, after his kind offer, and then ride in with him and who ever else is overnight at his. Coming back, ...

Hopefully someone can do a West to East write up (the full weekend, I can only do the Sunday if no-one comes up with something). If you had any goo...

Re: Alisters old SXZ ..

I see you did give the seller some info which he seemed grateful for. Nice to build up some history for the bike.
