made and fitted some footpeg riser plates to the race bike, changed the old standard fork oil for new race oil, made some brackets for the race seat unit and fitted body work, bled rear calliper.

On the mileage question, to be honest mate I have no idea. I had to check back on the old site to work out when they where fitted, Aug 2012. With that in mind they have done 2 IOM trips and a fair few other trips out.

Thought it was a bit too good to be true. They have just set the page up ready for when the tyres are released, somehow google has found the page even though its not linked to from within their site.D6Nutz wrote:Not a bad price either, £215 for a pair including deliveryBlade wrote:Glad to help made.

Spirited Ride to work in glorious sunshine....
by glorious sunshine I actually mean Horrible Rain...
and by Spirited Ride I actually mean filtered past miles of stationary traffic....

Left it at home as I am going for a run after work, and it's meant to be raining and I can't be bothered to shower at work and put my ggear on.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I have lost all confidence in using it as a pop out to shops or go to GFs now which is a shame as I used to love riding in majority of weather's coz I'm not a pussy like Kwacky lol! But now I just use her for ride outs and the car gets used everyday...no fun looking forward to a ride out :-)
