Was it bad?
The Forum as a whole is pretty positive but there are times when members should be advised of bad experiences to help benefit all. Sooooo......... Dangerous routes, bad roads, bad hotels, bad petrol, bad food, bad service/repairs or any other bad experience ? Note: Honda Recalls and safety discussions are combined into another board (Below).

Installation Reports - Parts & Accessories (XL1000V)
Some Accessories and Parts are easy to fit.. others need a bit more figuring out. When tackling these tasks it may be helpful if you had a reference to how other people have approached the same job. If you have installed or modified anything on your Vara, taken images of the process, and feel that it might be useful info for other members please post here. Things like... Screens, Power sockets, Cruise Control, Scottoiler etc. and any of your own mods fall into this category.

If your area has a local cafe, or weekend meeting point, where riders of all types of bikes gather on, say, a Sunday, then mention it here. It could be a chance for you to meet other Varadero riders and talk about nothing but this Forum! ;) Or, better still, if you want to set up a regular meeting point for Vara riders... mention that too!
