Newbie from South Wales

Post by stu R1 »

Hi all,

Just bought a 4c8 this week in the best colour red/white. Passed my test in April this yr and bought a r6 5eb which was a cracking intro into the biking world. Only had the chance to get out on the R1 once since picking it up but already luv it :D .

Few questions I would like to ask you guys:

Do they do a Haynes manual for 07 onwards as I can't seem to find any?
Anyone selling a tail tidy to fit the 4c8?


Thanks in advance

Stuart.

Welcome in m8, enjoy the bike and forum.

No Haynes manual for the 4c8 I am afraid.

Wecome in mate. Go to the 4C8 section and you will find a repair manual to download. R&G for a tail tidy.

R&G poor quality and over priced IMO, ask Bub and Scrappy. I would go Evotech or spend the money and go Melotti

Had a look at the EVOtech tidies, they actually look quite smart for the 14B.
