    Looking very nice, liking the whole black look. Can I ask what Akers can you have on there and is that a Leo Vince Carbon cover.

    Finally fitted my R&G crash protectors.

    And if anyone else is doing this and needs a 28mm holesaw I bought one from R&G so send me your address and you can borrow mine. Don't see the point in anyone else buying one when I have one here.

    Not too bad, more damage to my pride and body than anything else. I was entering a large roundabout with various option lanes , the fast lane to go straight over, started to crank her over and was about to get on the gas when a van cut the car up in front, she paniced and stopped....I grabbed a handful of brake, the front just let go and threw me on to the roundabout curb and the bike slid what seemed to be miles narrowly missing the rear of the woman's shinny rear bumper. The van driver just legged it and the poor lady just kept saying sorry. Good job I had crash bungs on although the bolt is bent, the side fairing caught some gravel rash and the tail unit is now sporting a rather nasty gash, the brake pedal has now been re-shaped, the side fairing has had a coat of coloured wax and the crash bung is going to get a bit of heat treatment when I get back to work..................and my body hurts like f**k!!

    Sorry Arthur but he's right, I have standard parts and as a friend I'm willing to just do a straight swap for your crapy parts to help you out.

    Not today but last week- fitted a set of BPF's and M4's

    Wasn't sure how the gold legs would look on my bike, growing on me.

    Found the bike "bouncy" with standards settings when I rode it during the week so tried Sinewaves settings for yesterday's rideout. Felt way better but still not perfect (I weigh a little less)
