    I hope this is as easy as every one says as I've a set of Stao Street Hooks on my bench awaiting my attention. Any Tips Squire?

    About 2 hours of stress free time needed that's all! And is easier if you split the subframe

    Got some new boots, PR4's.
    Will fit them over the weekend and hopefully get some winter riding time on the Blade.

    True, but I've half a dozen scrubs to get through, so I may as well switch what's on the bike between summer and winter. That way I'll get my money's worth out of the Michelin's ;)

    Might sell the Dunlop GP Pro's as they're quite hard in the cold, that's what caught me out before, but I got a few Racetecs and a Supercorsa which will be good when it warms up.

    Like you say, gonna take it steady for a few miles as I need to get my head back in to gear too. It's been almost 3 months since I last rode and it would be rough justice if the I got spat off again after buying the right tyres for the weather :eek:

    jap_sti_3 i done this only a few weeks ago wasn't as bad as I thought rear tail section was a bit scary as I thought it was going to break
    My only tip is when I got my street hooks they came with some spacers check they actually fit
    As I fitted them and it made the bolts too long and the head of the bolts hit the plastic tray there isn't enough Clarence so I didn't fit the spacers image.jpg everything went back together easier than I expected
    And I think the result speaks for itself
    Good luck

    Got her out for a wash and polish, having fitted the carbon frame and swingarm covers. Then went for a ride and got caught in snow on the way home !! Now she needs another wash ! DSC01130.jpg

    Took off the lower fairings from the bike today and removed the 'Honda' decals from them. Cleaned off the panels and the rear hugger which I had removed a while ago.

    Going to take them to a place near Norwich in the next week and have them re-painted in gloss black. I have been wanting to do this for ages but just haven't got round to it before.

    The endless pursuit of turning the bike all black continues, as mad as it sounds, I would like to get the rear Ohlins shock done in black as well.
