    Bloody Chinese.

    I cannot believe that upon receiving another:rolleyes: AGV K3 helmet today (for my Castrol theme) I read in the accompanying booklet: 'Made in China under AGV specifications'. Now I'm hoping my MV and Aprilia aren't actually made in China also:eek:.

    Whilst I have been defensive - in the main - over Chinese product, it came as a real shock to discover that such a revered product as AGV is actually 'outsourced' to use the corporate deflection.:(

    I read somewhere that Chinese helmet linings were burning some people's scalps...you'll probably end up in the next hospital bed to @bazzashadow after he's cooked a few microwave meals for 1 in his Hotpoint Krakatoa lol

    The black sticky back has turned up so I’ll get the numberplate sorted this weekend.....along with fitting the Doppellicht for the dual headlight conversion........along with the Fenda Extenda (it should be here tomorrow).

    So I did the back of the number plate with the black sticky backed plastic @nigelrb recommended, and even shrink wrapped the yellow screw threads on the numberplate screw (I have issues) and tadah.....

    I also removed and replaced that horrid clear sticky protection on the tail piece, it had all kinds of polish residue caught under its edges and looked pants. The new one from the same sticky back stuff is hardly noticeable (boy do I have issues), what you reckon?.....
