watch out for the rear one leaking me mate has got the same as yourself .we went out for a blast just after he put them on. and the next min the back tyre was coverd in brake fluid lucky i noticed it at a set of lights down the road other wise the first set of bends .game over ?
Just done nearly 200miles on the bike today and one of the guys I was with just put a deposit down on a new Super Duke R at Crescent Verwood.
How are you finding the new machine ? Can it be compared at all with the Blade or is it chalk and cheese?
Hi Giv. I'm loving it actually. No comparison to the blade as they are so different. The 8 seems really slow in comparison but it is not. The engine sounds like its on tickover at the redline in comparison to the blade screaming and letting you know you are going supersonic. I would say the major difference is where the blade feels like its on autopilot and you almost ride without thinking what you want the bike to do, the 8 needs input. They are both great bikes in their own right!
That's an interesting point you've made there Steve. Just this afternoon I was swooping along some Deb'n B roads, which generally means a heavy fog doesn't shorten your sight line, and I actually thought to myself it was almost as if it was cornering with no input from me at all.
Added an Oberon clutch slave cylinder last week. Also altered the gearing, 1 tooth down at the front, 1 up at the rear.
where did you order the oberon from steve. being meaning to throw 1 on the aprillia as the stock ones loose fluid over time! cheers!
