    Really nice meeting you today LC......... Top Bloke! she's even better in the flesh quite impressed with the way you handle her! Only been on the road a week if that and you was throwing her right down in the corners, (I don't think you knew how much.) Had to really give it some to catch from Bury, (Thank god for the traffic lights) she goes like a rocket!!!!!!
    Definitely meet up again :D

    Well finally heard from FastBikes today, they want to come around tomorrow!! Told them its too late notice and the weathers crap now..

    So arranged provisionally for Tuesday next week. I also mentioned maybe able to get a real SP blade involved as a comparison sort of thing. One you can buy one you can build yourself type of thing LOL.. Anyway ive asked Glenn as he's local to me but if he cannot make it anyone else fancy being involved and getting their SP in fastbikes?

    Not your mate Arthur as his is too nice and will shown mine up haha

    Well small update I thought I would share. Got chatting to my neighbor earlier in the week about the bike and the photoshoot & mentioned I was after some fork preload adjusters for the bike. Was really surprised when he told me his brother owns and runs Oberon performance, if you not heard of them here you are: Oberon Performance Ltd - Motorcycle Parts and Accessories Manufacturer They make some realy nice CNC bike parts.

    Anyway he said he would chat to his brother and perhaps he could sort me out with some goodies for the photoshoot along with some Oberon stickers [​IMG]

    Anyway spoke to him yesterday and he said come down to the unit tonight and have the tour and he will sort me out :)

    Anyway super impressed with the quality of their gear, have come away with some fork preload adjusters, fuel tank filer cap. They are just about to launch a new line of racing gear produced under the banner of AS performance for track and race bikes, anyway sorted me out with one of their new brake lever guards which isnt even for sale yet! They also do some really nice clipons which are coming out soon which twist so you can adjust the height but silly me I said I wanted 50mm risers and they dont do risers yet :( LOL cant have it all!

    Anyway couple of pics of the workshop, will take some pics of the parts I got tomorrow, products are really amazing quality I was blown away tbh

    Thanks Adrian :)

    Yes Raphael was a right result! Photoshoot is Saturday now hoping to get in to the portsmouth historical dockyard for some photos with the ships as backdrops. Have sent them an email and they are checking if that cam accommodate us.

    Also just taken some pics of the gear

    [​IMG]

    well its time for the [​IMG]

    New Alloysport range for racing which isnt out yet. quality is better than the ASV lever which is saying something! the section with bolts is adjustable so you can set the position right where it needs to be.
    [​IMG]

    Also new seat foam added, wanted a bum pad so run the foam right up the rear, oh er
