Thought that I would give the new Dunlop 212's a go for impending 3 days of track use/abuse at Le Mans at the end of the month, so ordered a set.Hard rear, medium front compounds. They do not do a 50 rear profile so settled for the 55, which most on here say is pretty good! Have used racetecs before on my gsxr1000k2 and they were great, but wanted to try something different.Ordered new Shoei X spirit from "Just helmets". The chap at the end of the phone was good enough to give me a discount, if you don't ask......Would recommend them. Summer has gone for now, hissing down with rain, just like Wimbledon!!!!!!
Love d212 I go for endurance rear soft front a front will still do 2 rears . Cold 31 front 21 rear drop a psi on the hot days
I hope they are as good as the blurb and no doubt are far more capable than i am......still awaiting chinese fairings, repsol 2013 motogp colours.... Just seen 5 day forecast, summer is booked for Saturday and sunday.
Got new chain and sprockets yesterday. Got suspension set up by md racing in Kingston today. Only a short ride home. What a difference!
Ordered Yoshimura tail tidy so will be selling a brand new boxed, unopened R&G one which the dealership still have for me. And have the bike at work today so I can get home quicker, it being my last day before my holiday.
Recieved my new levers today so that will be tonights job when i get home. These were the China ones that Phantom recommended from ebay ordered last Tuesday and they arrived today not bad in my eyes! The machining on them looks great too!
Is it as easy as that pic suggests?? Gotta ask why? Thought about it with mine but couldn't see the benefit (Obviously there is) don't miss what you don't know and all...
It would take about a week to get used to it but I prefer it over standard, Especially when you are shifting without a clutch. I need to file it to give it a good finish but my dremel was wrecked So I used a drill and Stanley knife and I took an hour max.
Removed all my road fairings and electrics etc ready to fit track fairings next week ,also removed rear pillion foot pegs while I had it stripped down .
For the tack bike I imagine banging down, I mean up the gears, I mean down to go up lol would be pretty cool! Wouldn't mind giving it a go
well you can pull the cover off and try it for a week then if you dont like it swap it back again and fit the cover.
Bought this fairing 2007 off my mate and fitted it to my 2005. Few things made to make if fit nice he couldn't do but I did
If you're in the hunt for another check out the Fein Multitool. Absolutely mustard kit. Not cheap though.
I rode my bike to Covent Garden for #FirebladeFriday. Had a scooter with me on the way back from Nine Elms to Wandsworth roundabout. Like a flea in my ear - wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Dear Lord I hate those things. Terrifying lines. Geezer had quilted Barbour jacket and suede brogues. The worst sort of scooterast.
