Yeah maybe was part of a chain, not that I am a HD guy but shame to see any long standing dealers go. I think the Southampton one has been there at least 20 years.

I have the bike now, just ordered a Givi top box and the adapters etc for it.Test ride of the F900XR today....Thought it was brilliant, order placedShould have it within 2 weeks hopefully.
Need a new lid, thinking the Schuberth C5, I like the built in comms etc(if you buy the sena attachment). Any others to consider?

Edit: Congratulations on the new ride!
Are you looking at ECE 22.06 only? If not there should still be ECE 22.05 rated ones on discount. I got an HJC RPHA 70 Carbon recently for half price (£249). It is very comfortable, light at 1400 gms and quiet. Also saw Shoei GT Air 2 for around £300 ish. I was looking at aforementioned ones mainly for the built in down visor for those October and March months where Sun is right in front of your eyes.

I had not even clocked those changes! To be honest, I am easy to go for either, I suppose I need to go and try some on and see what is comfy etc. my current one is a few years old, that’s the main reason I want to replace it. (Shark)Edit: Congratulations on the new ride!
