    Excuse my ignorance, but what is it?
    I liked the tank guard/ball saver on the front though.
    We got two sets of the grab-rail hole cover thingys from that site, and they are pretty cool, tidys up the rear end nicely without the grab rail there.
    Still awaiting our new mirrors though.

    MrsKD: really! I have seen the site before and the stuff is quite nice. Mirrors would be sweet but cant afford 2BH. Want to change my rear-set though...and 450 euro (?) is a lot.

    It is simply a well sylized grab rail/ luggage rack. Just looks better than any other fitting I have seen for the same purpose. Looking forward to some pics of the caps and the mirrors when they arrive!!!

    Yeah, they do look quite good. Some crazy looking adjustable handlebars as well...

    I am hoping the mirrors arrive this week. Will be cleaning and photographing the bikes in the weekend and will post with the various bits and pieces we have moded.

    Useful reading for Hornet owners.

    And on another note, have any of you Hornet owners thought of changing your rear sprocked? I am considering going down a couple of teeth on the rear sprocket and just hoping someone has had some experience in doing so.

    The Honda mechanic I use suggested it because he has done the above with 4 other Hornets in the last while. It would be good to bring down the revs at highway (and above) speeds and would save petrol at these speeds as well!!! (Not to mention adding about 10-20 kph) I am just worried about losing acceleration in the twistys. The bike has plenty of power and there are no problems accelerating from low down in the rev range, so I think it should be okay but I just want someone else's opinion as well.

    Pretty happy with the revs at the mo. Will have a read of the manual though. Cheers.

    thanks for posting the setup guide, its excellent.

    I would like a dog leg clutch lever because its a fair reach to the straight blade clutch lever. The adjustable ones are ruinously expensive.

    also apparently one fix is to go to a 17T front sprocket.

    Nice clutch lever here for $99.

    yeah, have thought of that option as well but I am hoping to find someone who has done the mod to a Hornet to get some feedback....

    I saw those but that is $99USD (!) it would be $200NZD landed nearly I reckon.

    I am going to put a 41 tooth (2 teeth down) on the rear next week and see how that goes. My mechanic recons I won't feel any reduction in acceleration but will definately notice a difference at the top end (wooo hooo) . I'll keep you guys posted....
