What?! 51 minutes of advertising?
Are you absolutely positive you have the correct link?

If so, please state the minute to start watching from, since I only have another 24 * 365 * 20 lots of 51 minutes to live.

5:03 to 5:51. It's a pair of paddock stands with goofy wheels so you can push the bike around like it's on swivel castors. They say it's for Ducati, then show it being used with a KTM.

In daylight the trunk is more grey than the mudguard, but I think it looks OK anyway. It's easier to swing my leg over than the Q-bag I had on the other seat too.

K1200 / K1300 Forum / Corbin Seat + Smuggler trunk
« on: May 14, 2024, 11:40:12 am »
In another thread, Richard had the front half of this fitted but the trunk wouldn't go on with the grab rails.






This on my K13S with the standard grip rails. The only downside is that the BMW side cases won't go on, as the trunk is slightly too wide. Longer bolts and a 15mm spacer should be enough to fix that though.

Apparently the really ugly GSA version isn't out until next year, or sometime. A shortage of aluminium Tupperware and scaffold poles perhaps. Anyway, weren't you expecting a K1600?

Handy French government petrol prices website, that’s also good at finding where they are.

I've had it for a few years, so not the current version, but it's a 4 channel PicoScope automotive oscilloscope. It's a Box that you connect to a laptop PC with a USB cable, then there's a PicoScope Windows application.

Just playing of course. But the idea was to get a waveform while it was working so I'd have something to compare with at a later date.

While playing with my oscilloscope I did manage to get an ignition waveform from my K13 using the COP probe. I just took the side panels off and there was enough space to get the probe onto the top of the coils. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XE8LuQUXhw

Special challenge:
- Click on image to spot the K oddity

That'll be the rather non-standard seat on the Motorsport. Did you get that off a cruiser?

I need a longer bar.


...or a Torque multiplier. Assuming you could find something to put the arm against. https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/laser-6948-mini-torque-multiplier-34-to-1/

if you're down that way you should also pop into Compton Abbas Airfield. You could go via ZigZag hill, for no other reason than to say you've done it. Nice view from Spreadeagle hill too.

I’d try Behind Bars too. It’s actually not that difficult to check the valves, you just need time, a vacuum filler for the cooling system and a puller to get the coil packs out. If they need adjustment (most don’t) you need a special tool to remove the camshafts and the shims.

As well as the time, dealers will usually change the plugs @ £40 each while it’s apart.

Have you tried Fusion360? I think that’s a good step up from TinkerCAD and free for personal use.

I've got one - Draper or Laser I think - but the idea is the same.

They work really well on rusty steel, like car exhaust clamps or the suspension linkages of a 15 year old 4x4. Might also be useful if you want to de-badge a 316 if used with caution. Can't think what it would be useful for on a bike that's mostly plastic and alloy though.
