    Any recommendations on grips? I think the bike has standard ones on there at the moment. Will replace them with simple black again. Would like a nice thin set.

    Managed to do a couple of bits
    -replaced engine/clutch cover
    -replaced sump : plastic bracket had snapped, then the screw to get the half of the plastic bracket rounded off, then whilst trying to loosen it with a few tapes broke the metal bracket off the sump. Disaster to disaster.
    - finally refitted lower fairing : it's been off for about a year due to the above bracket issue.
    - fitted engine sliders
    - fitted crash bungs
    - replaced grips
    - replaced rear shock with a lower milage one
    - oil and filter change

    Next on the cards:

    - buy and fit nose cone
    - buy and fit mid fairing
    - buy and another cheapy exhaust
    - maybe a shift indicator

    Be cautious with the pipe, if it does not have enough back pressure the you may get fuelling issues,unles you have a PC5 and can remap it.

    I was clearing out the garage at the weekend and found an oem 08 right side faring the same colour as yours which your'e welcome to have for the cost of postage. I bought it with the idea of spraying it to match my bike but never got round to it....let me know.
