    So you get them delivered to work and bring them home at an opportune moment. Then when notices the bike's changed and she asks "are those new?". You say "no dear, same ones I've always had".

    Job done.

    Only an idiot reveals all income in a relationship, that's how relationships work. ;)

    It's all about smoke and mirrors. You need to learn from the best, get on YouTube and watch some David Copperfield and Paul Daniels.

    I've been looking at new cars today and when I've channelled the Daniels she won't even notice its changed. ;)

    Boring stuff, oil, filter, coolant, front pads and fluid change all round.

    Would love meet the tool who designed the fairings on these bikes.

    MV has an interesting system of 'twist locks'. I'm sure there is a proper name for them, but I don't know it. I have been wondering if these could be incorporated into the Honda fairings. Of course it means having the counterpart to turn into rather than the existing screw thread.

    You mean Dzus, that’s not the issue although when one type of screw will do Honda use 3 different types on the same panel.

    The issue I have every time I take the panels off, is the multitude of fragile tabs that go in all directions like a jigsaw puzzle, obviously Mr Japanese clever little f**ker designer obviously never understood someone would have to take them off multiple times over the years, either that or his Dad owns the panel making company.

    Yep .......I'm not looking forward to replacing my complete bodywork with my matte black kit that I've bought for trackdays! It arrives tomorrow after successfully getting through customs. Think I'll start with the tail/seat unit first and do the Sato racing hooks while I'm there. Then just stare blankly at the bike while I contemplate fairing and nose cone removal! :confused:
