So can someone tell me why everytime I try to read a biography I get either "Page not found" or "You are not allowed to access that page"?

I know this topic has been hashed over & over , I find it strange that from day to day riding the belts acts differently . Lately the weather has been cool , very little belt noise . This wasn't the case 1 1\2 mnths. ago on a hot summer day that belt made all kinds of racket ? Does temp. really effect the final drive that way ? Just Rapp'in !!!!!!!!!

Have just been to the MotoGP at Phillip Island and documented my Fuel Usage.

Towing My Butsy's Campa fully loaded and weighing at about 150Kg. Travelling mostly between 100 - 110 Km with faster overtaking.

Averaged 6.13 L/100 Km or 38.36 Mpg over the 1700 Km of the trip.

So it means about 301 Km or 187 miles till empty

Hi everyone,

I have a XVS1300AX 2008 with a Classic Industries towbar, It didn't fit with factory saddlebags so I had to modify it to fit and am happily towing now. I have been towing since I built my first trailer in about 1993.

I have two well three trailers at the moment. My old trailer is being borrowed by a mate to help convert him to towing.

My main trailer is a single berth Butsy's Campa from Mildura Vic, it also has a 6' fully enclosed annex. I have had it for 5 years now and haven't had any real problems but have added lots of things to it, Battery, LED internal lighting, Esky etc. It is make from steel with 8" wheels, leaf suspension with Yamaha scooter shocks.

I also have a Shadow Utility Trailer and my old Aluminium trailer I built back in 1993. My old trailer has been every where.

Shadow is Fiberglass with 8" wheels & coil over independent suspension.
Old one is aluminium with 12" Wheels and Polyurathane linked suspension.
