If you can't see it then it's not a problem for you, enjoy it.
I don't own one

I haven't looked at one

So tell me what you think is wrong with the design in your opinion, Frog?

What a crock of shite!!!

The side stand isn't even moving...its the suspension doing the rocking about isn't it?

Watch it again and look just at the stand and bracket FFS

What is it about ABR always slagging off Honda's?

OK the new AT is having some teething problems but overall the bike is a great package (yes i bought one and i have no faults to report!!! )

Blimey :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:

Can the cable be re-routed to enable the fuse to be more easily accessed?

If not I'd be fitting a separate one and not relying on the standard one!

My bike! And I don't care!
The tarp goes up for me when I step out of my tent and there's room for my week old AT, so why not? I can pack her up in the rain without getting my kit wet when it comes to leaving - more then a couple of guys asked me where the tarp came from so they could get one (though perhaps they'd not admit it) - I take an umbrella when touring too, go on - there's a full thread of material there too!!! lol

Oh welcome Alleycam.If your bikes a week old and you don't want to get it wet there's no point packing up in the rain...you won't be able to ride home! ;)
