Winter is coming and although I don’t use the ‘bike much over winter when I do use it, I go old-school and use lobster-claw gloves inside modified handlebar muffs. I’m sure other oldies like me will have developed their own winter protection but some of the newbies might find this useful...

Wow! Great result for $10. I looked at similar ones (Bike-Viz) here just so I could fit a demodulator to make them 'sparkle' at high frequency but I really didn't want to poke holes through the panels for the wires. My other thought was to leave the Moon ones at horizontal but they really were...

LED Running Lights added to the Mirror Pillars A couple of weeks back a member of our local motorcycle club was in fatal collision with a car. The accident happened at a low use country-lane crossroads in fine weather in daytime. The crossing roads are straight and bordered by open fields with...

Hi Bicyclenut, Yes, I also put some effort into using the cross-bar under the headlights. Someone on the forum has already done that but I can't seem to find the posting any more. That's the Tee-bar option I mentioned where the poster had drilled into the forward facing pipe of the frame to...

I have been looking at the various places to mount LED spots and have now fitted them in a location that I have not seen used before. This position will not suit everyone but it gives another place for consideration. My initial thoughts were: Mounting off the brake-housing puts the spots...

There is a BMW accessory cable that connects to this plug and it is an unusual one, part number 61128544442 (cost around $20), used for the BMW satnav. Just remove the plug from the other end to connect to your satnav. Pin 1 is ground with brown wire, pin 2 is 12v yellow wire. Pin 3 green &...

My guess would be that anyone who copies and distributes any manual on DVD would be liable under copyright and/or counterfeit laws. I was unaware that the DVD was a copy when I bought it and so as an upstanding and law-abiding soul then naturally I destroyed it. If you find a seller and then...

A workshop maintenance and repair manual is readily available on DVD using Ebay. Mine came from a seller in Italy for £35 (February this year) and it seems to be a copy of the official workshop one. Having said that, it is not that easy to use nor is it very comprehensive in the way that the...

Grample Bedford UK Bronze 2016 C650GT Low seat, wind-deflectors, and CalSci medium screen.

Hi bicyclenut, A belated thanks for the welcome. Unless your 29” is bigger than my 29” (schoolboy snigger) then you are a brave man. I feel as though I am on the edge of safety even with the low seat: maybe too many years of comfort on the ‘wing. And I couldn’t get my wife on a bike even if...

Hi dukdukman, That sounds really useful if you mean it says re-set the ASC to re-set the screen travel limits as well as the ASC. I can't find it in my manual. What section of the manual is the reference in? I really don't want to try it if it doesn't work because I've got some distance to go...

Hi Mike55, I recently acquired a C650GT and came to exactly the same conclusion. My dealer just rather abandoned me to my own devices after one ride to check. My solution is to use a secondary blind spot mirror from Herbert Richter - I have just reviewed it with photo on the Forum. After a...

My 2016 version of the C650GT has the Side View Assist to help cover the blind spot in the mirrors. However, the SVA simply doesn’t work for me. I get too many false warnings, especially when cornering, and I find it less than 100% reliable when warnings would be useful and, with a limit of...

Sorry SteveADV, I didn’t know there were any Hog riders in here. And I don’t mean to impugn the virtue of hirsute porcine mammals. I should have said that the original screen is curved like a beer-belly and the CalSci screen is round like a Tampon-tube.:D

Hi, I’m really grateful to all the folk who published the original reviews on, and guides to fitting, the CalSci screen to the C650GT. I will add in my two-penneth (cents) worth on the assumption that having the same info’ more than once can’t do any harm - I hope! After worrying and fartling...

C650GT v Silver-Wing Hi SteveADV, Thanks for the welcome. To be honest I am more just old than experienced. Basically my move from the Honda Silver-Wing to the C650GT is simply down to wanting a change after decades of owning ‘Wings. The Honda is well sorted, if now somewhat older...

Hmmmn. I have received a reply from CalSci. It turns out that CalSci have not modified the drawings/spec of the screen for the C650GT to match the 2016-onwards models, citing the earlier reports of misalignment as believed to be probably due to damage to the customers screen supports. They...

The first thing I noticed about the C650GT was the lack of wind protection compared to my Givi-Air-Flow screened Honda ‘Wing. So, off I went to Givi for a venturi-style screen for the C650GT. Or not as it happens. Not only did Givi not offer an Air-Flow screen but they have also discontinued...

Hello from Bedford in the UK. I have been lurking around the forum for a while as I considered converting to the C650GT from my decades of ownership of several Honda FJS600 Silverwings. I have always ridden scoots (and yes, I was a Mod in early sixties Liverpool) with my first bike being a...
