The Accts as fitted may not wait till the colder months to go pop...best get it done before then...
I know your right Mac, but with 2 little ones and a demanding job it's finding the time to do it. They were changed 8 years ago 'apparently' for original ones which is no guarantee I know. As soon as I have the time I will get them done and prey to the 7 gods they hold till then Image

I can pop over and lend you a hand

Get a pair of Bazza's or Kreiger's manuals and by the magic of a bacon sarnie they can be fitted in a few hours....
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Welcome along! You defo need to get rid of the standard CCT's. I got manual ones of a member here and I done mine in a few hours. Rear cam cover needs to come off but the front can stay on. I had no trouble doing it this way.
I have the standard CCT's for anyone wanting to do the stopper mod; one thing less to do after stripping your bike :thumbup:
