    Im not sure, apparently you cant fit the usual brembos to them though unless you have them milled down 5mm where the caliper mounts.

    Id love a set of sp forks but dont see them come up too often.

    Changed all my casing bolts to titanium. It pissed me / annoyed me with some bolts. Now I've changed my road bike with carbon wheels, HPK callipers, brembo race discs, K tec rear shock, brembo master cylinder, after market end can, PP rear sets 520 chain and sprockets. What should i do now.

    Fitted a new air filter and power commander. Stuck the ohlins in the rear for now.

    Started it up for first time since exhaust went on. Loving it.

    Im on race shift. I put a quickshifter on my 2008 blade. It was installed incorrectly from the start, after 1700 pounds spent to rectify, I thought never again on the road bike. I like the look of your new exhaust set up. I thought about putting my spare GPR steering damper on, but its blue in colour.

    Spent a few hours removing an R & G tail tidy from my RR4 and putting it back to original to restore black silver heat shields. I have purposely removed a black plastic shield from the exhaust above the footpeg/heel plate because the polished alloy looks much better. (I don't ride it hard enough to generate any noticeable heat:D:D)

    Already did my mandatory pillion peg removal. (Finished look will please @PauloHRC;) - as well as myself, of course.)

    It's funny you should mention this mate, I was only looking at Sato street hooks last night. I'm in a position where the Mrs likes a ride now and again......ahem!!

    So being able to 're attach the pillion foot pegs when needed really appeals to me, the link you've shared is probably the most detailed I've read so far. I'm actually looking forward to doing it now and seriously considering the Sato's.

    Where's best place to get them? Seen them on eBay but all in America?!

    Not sure where to buy them. I didn’t put any in, just used the guide for removal of mine. I have seen some in ebay in the last few days though, so worth looking there

    Cheers for your compliments.

    I removed the pegs from my 2011 also. Took a couple of hours - you need to allow that. A real pain in the man buns, but well worth it. The link posted by NBB is a great help. Wandering Waltons previously had it as a video on You Tube, but it's there no longer.
