my belly pan has just arrived, it was advertised as universal fitment, but i cant c how it will fit, im getting worried!

it seems wider than my frame and the front pipe (its a v twin) catches as does the little circle thingy on the front of the engine!

Translation.

Universal: fits nothing.

Have you got a pic of the hugger. You'll have to make up/bodge some brackets, and probably mod the hugger.

It's like having a universal full fairing, all mounts will be different, all shapes will be different.

You need to get bodging.

You'll have to cut it or something I guess. Any chance of a picture of this universal bellypan? Might be interested in one.

"little circle thingy" ????

isn't that the horn?

if it is, it can be moved somewhere else...

if it catches on your exhaust pipes... maybe you can fabricate a bracket to hold it further out from the frame so it doens't.

I've never found a "universal" fitment that is universal without SOME amount of bodging/fabrication.

well it need bracket holes cutting/drilling into it anyways, so its just a case of doing it and getting it painted.

next up, raptor lights, or twin headlights with a air blade, not decided yet.

then a carbon look can......stop me im getting carried away

That will not a lot of bodging bracketry.

I like the idea of a sf headlight though. Or even some twin spotlights like on my XJ.

Hey, if you need some good parts for a hyosung comet, try searching t'internet for european sites, i found a german site - www.erich-jahn.de i think - and they had headlight fairings, full exhaust systems and belly pans all made for the 125.

cheers, 300 euros is a bit out of my league at the moment, im thinking of just getting a slip on can, just for looks more than anything, anyone knowing of a cheap slip on can pm me

If you want a mean-sounding bike before you get a slip-on, go round to the end of your can, and just underneath the gas outlet is a little screw, undo it while you have one finger in the exhaust. When it's undone, the baffle will come out and your little comet will sound like a beast! I saw some french guy do it on a video, couldnt believe how meaty it sounded for a 125 4-poke!

ye, i seen that 2, how hes done it is by removing the 3 spot welds which come on the bike as standard to hold the baffle in, the he replaces this with a screw to hold it in for MOT's and the such.

tempted to do it, very very tempted!

Cool!, i just thought it was removable as standard. How hard are the welds to reach? I can imagine this meaning that a black & Decker wizard is going on your list of things to buy. Do you know of any UK hyosung comet websites - when i was interested in one, all i could find was european stuff, and a shed load of australian stuff on the 250.

erm, www.bavanar.com is the site of the uk importers, then you can find your local dealer.

They are really comfy bikes which go like stink for a 125 becuase they are twins, takes its time to get run in though.

only problem is, in the 3/4 years they have been getting more popular, the price has hiked from £2000 new to £2650!

look second hand, plenty of ex learners around.

my gf's dad is a biker and one of his mates has a dremel! that will do nicely, so im going to sweet talk him into getting his mate to do the work, say for 2 pints of larger and a kick in the balls!

hahaha
