    Nah Gilesy, the dog will recover and she is very low to the ground and escapes most of the fumes anyhow ;) ! I need to know these things dude ! Its all constructive :)

    She's kinda had to get used to me Lamby ! I was like it long before she came along... She's only got a bit pissy once and thats when i accidentally melted her handbag strap while i was brazing, again in the kitchen ! Stupid place to leave the handbag really :rolleyes:
    She wasn't too happy a few weeks ago as well when i decided to spray my radiator, (again, in the nice warm environment of the kitchen) while we had guests for the weekend... I personally don't mine the smell of paint...

    You really are a legend blackness,
    As for the brembo m/c did you speak to Andrew ? Or want me to see what I can sort for you ? And I'm sure there's something you can do about the under slung caliper

    Thank you boys, i throw a salute straight back at ya ;) !!

    Rodders.. Yeah i spoke to him and he is saying £250 posted with the reservoir, but said he may be able to do it for less if i can find one cheaper somewhere else :confused: ! I don't know if thats a Polish bargaining technique or what ! £220 max would be nicer, if you could persuade him in the meantime ;)
    Probably best if i give him a ring rather than text negotiations and i can ask him about the underslung too..

    At £250 with the res it's cheap
    I paid £260 without the pump and then Andrew started getting them in but it was too late for me to return mine

    But yeah worth giving him a call

    Yeah, i know its pretty cheap really mate. I can get one from italy for £218 without the res ! What kinda put me off biting his arm off was delivery time. The Brembos took a few weeks last time and when i asked him delivery for the mc he said 2-3 days maybe 3 weeks ! 3 weeks !! After last time I'm feeling pessimistic about 2-3 days... I'm the kinda guy that if i order something one day and its not with me within at least two days after that i start getting some kinda separation anxiety ! Three weeks would spin me out bad, as the chinese fairing manufactures will vouch for ;) !

    Hahaha last time was the factory's thought, he had like 6 sets of calipers coming and they held the order because of one £30 set of bolts, he wasn't impressed with them believe me

    Little bit of eye candy for you...
    Delivery guy turned up today with my new X-Lite ! Nice helmet and i'll probably do a little review on it in comparison to my Bell M6 carbon when i have more time tomorrow ! Would have fashioned it for you with my new Alpinestar Atem one piece, but thats away at Hills4Leather getting the waist taken in etc, and won't be back until friday, so you'll have to make do with these for now ;)

    Done it :D !! Woke up feeling positive and struck a deal on a 18x20 RCS Brembo MC !! Absolutely, positively NOT gonna buy anything else this week !!!!
    Well, maybe not anyhow...
    But does anyone know of a nice lever that will kinda match on the clutch side ? And no, I'm not buying a brembo clutch, before that suggestion comes up ! Yet ;)

    Just buy the brembo clutch master cylinder. It'll kill you knowing the master cylinders don't match :D:D

    I know, my OCD glands are swelling at the very thought of it already :eek:

    But actually, our man Andrew at Monster Garage has quoted me more for the clutch than the brake mc !! Mind you i did rape him a bit for the brake ! I do like to wear a seller down best i can ;)

    Haha, was he crying into a pint of polski vodka :D

    I know i know mate... It will happen, its just a case of how long i can hang it out...

    If he had the stuff on the shelf ready to send out special delivery, then my impulses would probably succumb a lot easier... ;)
