  1. Thanks Pete. Noted if I, or anyone else for that matter, have headlight issues in future...(touch wood!) Regards Ben
  2. Well I sorted out the headlight on my Ballabio. I managed to get a generic 7 inch headlight lense. Then after a bit of cutting and fiddling I siliconed the lense to the original headlight shell. So instead of it costing about 300 bucks Australian..it cost me 40 bucks!! I'm stoked!! All good now and the big girl is back on the road!!
  3. I had an unfortunate mishap that resulted in my V11 Ballabio's headlight lens being smashed!! I wont go into details but safe to say its stuffed!! Are there any alternatives for the headlight shell and lense that will fit on my Ballabio?? I live in Australia and have priced an original unit and the price is around 300 Aussie dollars!! Ridiculous!! The plastic shell has brackets made/moulded that fit the chrome rim. So a standard 7 inch headlight wont fit unless you are prepared to muck around with it a fair bit. Any help would be much appreciated... Benny
  4. Thanks Gary. Got a pair off ebay for about 30 bucks Australian. Problem solved!! Ben
  5. I own a 2005 Ballabio. I want to change the turn signals and go for a smaller option. However they are mounted with 6mm bolts (as alot of you would know!) Does anyone know where I can source turn signals that come with 6mm studs and (same wiring set up) and that are smaller than the standard ones?? I'm not real keen on "tapping" out the existing mounting holes if I can help it... Or the other alternative is to replace the cracked front turn signal lense after a recent trip to the World Supers at Phillip Island. Can anyone help me with sourcing one for my Ballabio?? They are clear lenses...
  6. Thanks ratchet. WHen I get some days off next week I will follow ur steps given and let u know how I went. Thanks for ur time mate Ben
  7. Paul, Checked the front and rear engine mount bolts and they were fine. Now for the suspension set up. Thanks mate Ben
  8. Thanks. Tyre wear shouldn't be an issue. There is only 4000 km on the front tyre. It still has heaps of meat on it.
  9. Thanks very much. I have never properly set up my suspension. So will follow ur advice and let u know how I went. I'm 82 kg (not sure what that is in pounds) and dont mind riding her as hard as my ability (and handling!!) will allow on the odd occasion. Can u explain the re-spring issue?? How can I tell if that is needed??
  10. My 2004 Ballabio has been having a few handling issues with the front end lately. On long sweeping corners after you hit 120 km/h the front end doesnt feel stable. I would describe it as a "wallowing" sensation. The handlebars are not stable and dont stay on a true line. I have backed off the steering damper and also tightened it with no result. I run Metzeler Z6 tyres with 36 pounds in the front and 42 pounds in the rear. I have tried different tyre pressures as well with no change. I have checked all wheel bearings and front steering head bearings and they seem ok. Can anyone offer me some advice??? Benny
