    Hiring a SWB Vivaro will cost U just under £100 Matt, then another £85 in Fuel plus a long day out for you.


    Why can't you get this work done locally?

    Ah right, didn't see that post!

    TBH my Renthals have Brake and Clutch lever protectors in like these, so they add a reasonable amount of weight.

    Never noticed any vibration on mine, but only used them on my Track Bike so not exactly cruising around on minimal throttle and noticing things like that!
