    In terms of size?
    Mark them out in cardboard/paper and see which takes your fancy.
    Probably better to steer clear of crazy small...I’ve got 7.5x6 I think

    Fitted some more Eazi-Grips to the knee area of the tank (the bit that is normally black on standard blade paint jobs)

    Noticed it was pretty much the only area that was suffering from rub marks from my leathers.

    These were custom cut buy my self from a universal sheet of Eazi-Grip. They don't do them for this section of the tank!

    This is how it looks now all the tiny air bubbles have settled down;)

    I've been seeing a lot of that and have documented my own similar screenshots in an insurance thread:
    https://www.1000rr.co.uk/threads/bike-insurance.36868/page-2

    I think it might have a lot to do with 'kickbacks' the insurance companies are paying to the comparison sites.

    mce are basically the only insurer that will touch me, thats fine, no issues with them, or their breakdown service.

    I had planned on it being about 600 when i bought it, i think thats what the car costs me. I cant work out multi bike yet though.

    i wonder if ill make a saving having one policy for all vehicles

    I think in general it's better for one policy for multiple bikes...I've found that you have to start from scratch with NCD on a different bike.
    They dont mind knocking you down a year or two on your NCD even if it's another vehicle/bike but god forbid you try to use that same NCD on a different (multiple) policies :mad: ...greedy money grabbing twats
