I have a 120/70 on my SB8 and there seems to be plenty of room between the tyre and fender. |

Cheers guys. The pouch on mine is in very good condition but that wasn't surprising given the fact that the bike had only done 1800-ish kms when i got it. If i go for a ride i think i'd put it in my b ... |

Just a curious question about tool kits. I have had 4 Bimotas(YB11, SB7, SB8RS and DB4) and i have only seen one tool kit. Did they come with every bike or are they a rare thing for this generation of ... |

Can totally agree about the plastics on a DB4, my bike has less than 2000kms on it and has cracks all over the place, just have to accept it as part of Bimota ownership i guess.
I really do like the ... |

A thin piece of wood under the front tyre, i'll have to remember that next time i am trying to get the fairing of the SB7. Can't use a stand and i have no rafters to suspend the bike from. I did try a ... |

Marco imports could be a good place to go, he is always bringing in bikes that he wholesales to dealers but if you get in early enough he will hold a bike for you. He is always going to Japan and will ... |

My mechanic wants to keep them just in case that one day they can be sorted. He also has a couple of 900ss that these would fit so i could see them being of use to him. |
