Where MZ spares are concerned there is only one man. Call Phil at BSA-Regal you'll find it on a google search they are in Southampton and usually stuff is on the mat the next day. First class!

Yep BSA-Regal are first class  ,
But the sport never came with a grab rail .
I think it's an after market item made by some obscurer company.
Will check with BSA-Regal though when I next order some parts .

It's only to give my nipper something to hold onto instead of giving me a spinal injury .
Tends to lean on my back and then headbutts me when braking ,
Which wears a bit thin after one hours riding in fast moving traffic .

How about one of those pillion belt things - you wear it and it has a pair of handles at the back for the pillion to hold on to?

I for one wouldn't need it. Got two lerv handles already there :-)

You must of put on some weight since I last saw you Pat !

I think it safer if the pillion holds on to the bike and more comfortable for the rider.
Come to that it's safer if the pillon stays at home .

Yup - have this theory that bikes should not have second seats and footrests - much more fun if the bird rides her own.  Does not work for youngsters though.

The "bird" - oooops - your partner or friends of what ever type, flavour, etc I guess I should say.

Only solution I can think of is that flash soft luggage system the name of which I can't now remember - the one that has a tail pack that fits over what looks like an extended grab rail. You'll find them in the M&P catalogue they do a rack etc for the sport.

Is that the Kiwi design stuff?

'Ventura' on the MandP site!

Sort soft luggage by alphabetical order.

Cheers, Bill

[steffan]

That's the one!!

[Ian]

I'm glad I didn't check the forum earlier !

It would do the job though and looks OK ,I might buy one in a month or two.
I've had a better idea ....

I've spent this evening convincing the wife that I need a Skorpion traveller !

It didn't take much effort ,as soon as I mentioned it .
she replied that's what you wanted when you bought the Skorpion sport .

So what will I come home with this time ?
As long as it has a grab rail and touring capabilities I'll get a way with it !

Also if it's a Skorpion I can keep the sport using the old excuse of "it will save a fortune in parts".
Like hell I'll take it apart !

Aye xbrmz,

So now your bidding for this?

220033450565

All the best, Bill

[Ian]

Well sort of ,it has a rattly top end so it will need work and spares ?

So I'm looking at  120036129148  as well !
Just for parts

The only problem is I can only transport one at a time and a distance of 200 miles for each bike..
I might be pushing my luck 200 miles to far !!

[themoudie]

Aye xbrmz,

I'm just gawking as well, more than enough to keep me busy and penniless for years in the garage! ;-)

Do you think those are Norvil bits on the 400? I might even ask!

As for the 200 miles, van hire up here for a 'short' Trannie is £40/day including insurance and VAT + fuel.

Regards, Bill

[Ian]

Renting a transit is £99 up here for the weekend ,not including fuel .
I've got a 2 bike trailer that has a flat bed and sides fitted , 1 bike fits corner to corner .
The bike carrying parts are on loan 140 miles away in the other direction

As like most thumper members I've got a large garage full of bikes ,bikes in bits and projects half done .
But I'm always looking for something new to play with !

So I'll have a go at bidding on the maroon one And hope the head doesnt need to much ££££ .
One at a time will keep the peace and bring the total to 6 bikes
