Expensive MOT :-)

Post by Styler4077 »

Had the VTR and Harley MOT'd today.

Harley £29.65 :D

VTR £267.65 :(
"Bald tyres" he said, "Kojak specials (Race tyres)" I said..... "Not having it" he said "you need two new tyres"
"Buy them here and I'll forget about the straight through cans" he said "and I'll give you and advisory note on the head bearings"
"OK deal" I said
£174.47 plus vat for Pirelli Posso Corsa's.

Took him ages to get the front spindle free from the fork legs, had to use gas and air on them to free them.
Charged £26.08 to fit the tryes and £2 for the 4 allen bolts in the fork legs he had to replace.
But it took him well over an hour to change the tyres and he was sweating like a pig by the end of it. :D

Anyway 100+ miles to run them in now and see how they go.

Still looking for at least 1 front disk.....
