Re: speedo seems way out

Mine reads 100mph at 5,000 in top gear, no idea if that is 'normal' but it feels much less.

Re: Dyeing boots?

I will be adding some Nikwax over the top of polish, hopefully that should help with the waterproofing.

That and wearing black socks :lol:

Re: Dyeing boots?

Only took about 15 mins per boot with a small paintbrush, I will check them tomorrow to make sure the colour is even.

In the end went with a bit of thinners to clean/deglaze the leather and then used some ancient (circa 1970's) black leather dye found in cupboard at my folks place.

Re: Mystery rubber bung!!

Just been out to look at mine as my fairing is also off, I couldn't see one anywhere on either the fairing or the bike.

I am sure that one someone will come along shortly and confirm exactly what it is and that mine is missing!

Is there anything that you don't have in stock?

I am bidding on one at the moment, but if I don't win it then I might be interested - what make is it?
