Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
It's easy to lose the love of riding when you use it every day. I've got the car for days like today when the weather is crap. It takes longer to get home but at least I don't have to get out of wet clothes and put the bike away.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Must agree however you can have a very nice car and if you use it everyday (at least to me) for work then it becomes nothing special, nothing that makes you smile more frustrated because you don't see that as a luxury any more you see it as a tool!Kwacky wrote:It's easy to lose the love of riding when you use it every day.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I know my local honda dealer are pretty good for keeping stock of things like that, might be worth a try and for single boltsw they are not as stupidly priced as you would expect I have found

It was. greasy raods too. My ABS cut in a few times on the rear. I also wheel spinned when I accelerated to overtake. Thing was I was already doing around 30mph.
These Dunlop qualifiers are ok, but can't help think that my roadsmarts etc would be grippier.

Seat unit fitted, still need the other bolt but it's pretty secure without it.

Bars were a bit tricky and I've found they are slightly narrower than the original so needed a bit of packing underneath the Mirror bracket but still pleased with the result.

looking really nice! I love the look of Renthal grips, I think I may fit a set of them as my next to do job
