    just bought one of these, lovely bike. how easy was it fit the oxford grips? watched a video of somebody fitting the ultimate add on grips and they had to butcher the throttle side to get them on

      it wasnt too bad tbo yes they do have ridges on the grip undernieth that need to be smoothed out ..a file or a dremel sand disk ..either /or takes about ten mins ,,the rest is straightforward ..not a big problem ..the o/e grips will come off with compressed air if you have a compressor handy to use

    Hey mate, can I please ask why you didn’t go for the 800?

      i liked the de800 ian and it is without doubt the one to go for for duel sport ..light years better than the de1050...ive had a t7 and that was too heavy for me ..so i decided to stick with me crf300 for that job and use the big banger for touring .

      I have the 250l and it’s ok for me on the lanes around wales but I’d like something bigger so I could ride further afield, maybe up the lakes and do some of the gravel lanes up there? Mate has a T7 and rides some pretty hard lanes around here but it’s to tall for me and feels very tippy ??? Was looking at the 800 as I thought it would be a great road bike and capable of some light lanes/gravel roads??
