Lol, do you work for Aprilia or something?
Tony's Rizoma stuff looks spot on, I like how the colour really fits with the bike. Obviously black won't stand out like those do, but the finish is still sweet.

Re: Shopping list advice
Prior to Blade's comment I wasn't entertaining the idea of changing bike.
I'm still not, but this bike just came up on Facebook at CMC Cannock...

Haha no not at all buddy.
I'm just throwing a curve ball idea in. I know you like big nakeds and the top of that particular tree has to be the V4 Tuono. I test rode one a year or two back and it was an amazing bike.
The price of the Tuono is probably the same as your z1000 and the upgrades you have planned so just making a cheeky suggestion

Re: Shopping list advice
We've sowed the seed. The thoughts in your mind now, we can just leave it to develop

Re: Shopping list advice
Look on the bright side Itchy the time it takes for the seed to develop in your mind also gives you ample time to tweak your "Sorry you just plain Wrong love, it is me who makes all the executive decisions in this relationship. But in the interest of equality you can help me choose the performance accessories" speech

Seriously.....I just can't find a fault with how nice that bike looks. Something I think I'd be jealous of...and I don't ever remember feeling jealous too many times.
Seller really couldn't have posted a better photo either.

Re: Shopping list advice
Well, I have a load of open tabs on the laptop, with various parts from various websites.
I'm decided on those tabs that are open, I just need to commit to buying. The only thing that's stopping me is the question of whether I should do it now, or wait until it's being serviced and get the garage to do it while it's there.
Which then raises the question of whether I should get it serviced now, or next year (it's not going to get much use over winter, is there any point in servicing it to have it sit in the garage)???

Re: Shopping list advice
Most things probably. But I'm not faffing around with brake stuff by myself. If they're cleaning the calipers during the service they can fit a new pair of pads. And probably the ressys too!

Fancy some Rizoma black sportline grips? Stripped my StreetR to standard ready for new bike day tomorrow. £30 delivered.

Re: Shopping list advice
Fitting pads is literally a 5 minute job itchy and changing the resevoir isn't more than 30 minutes. Both are jobs I'm sure your more than capable of doing.

Re: Shopping list advice
Even I can do those jobs and I'm a mechanical retard
Well I'm a retard generally, but more so when it comes to fixing stuff.

Plus it's rewarding working on your own bike and you also know it's been done right with extra tlc.
