    Yeah doesn't seem much room under there, glad I've got a non-abs model. In fact I nearly bought an ABS model and having read the brake problems thread I'm bloody glad I didn't.

    MCT Suspension in Stowmarket is your man what he doesn't no about suspension and he also knows the cbr suspension inside out.

    Tyre pressures 36/42 have been this since early 80s on crap tyres/suspension, IMO the modern bikes/tyres the pressures are way out I have run 36/36 for the last 10 years on UK roads and Euro trips, on my trackbike I use 30/27 and they stick like shit to a blanket.
