    THis is why I have stuck with 023's - think they are really under rated but are a very technical tyre.
    On a hot Donny day they snot up on the soft compound like a race tyre

    Have to say despite all the gold the modded bike looks pretty good.

    I hate the CB1Rs rear wheel design - looks like something off an invalid carriage.

    It isn't the best, but seem to be very limited options for wheels on the bike :(

    You'd think so Martin :( but the fairing hides the engine on the blade, on the naked bikes you see everything .... So everything has to be spotless lol

    But one plus Matt paint does not need polishing so saved a few hours there :)

    How are you doing matey, healing well I hope I really feel for you at the moment but if it makes you feel better I am at home looking after the kids today so no bike for me, then moving house at the weekend so again bike denied ;)

    I'm ok just worried about when the casts come off I'm going to look like I'm waring white marigolds with all this sun!
    More X-rays a week tomorrow then I should know a better healing time.


    Anyway would the vfr wheel fit as they look good

    Will have to have a look at those, but think I read that they don't ? Shame if they won't I do agree they don't look the best but the front looks arse compared to the rear IMO

    Lol I would get as bronzed as possible just for shits and giggles, I know it must be hard at the moment matey but all will come good soon, good luck with X-rays etc will have to pop down to see Arthur at some point soon so if your close would be good to meet you and have a brew :

    Honda is not like ducati/mv as it has a hub with one big nut the CB1k is held on like a car with 4 nuts leaving no real options to change as far as I know
