what damage then?

There are some clever bods out there, so my question is;

Why haven't we all made this change, as most of us complain about the round town riding, does it have any negative effects? Put any extra strains on the bike, cost a fortune to do? Invalidate the warranty?

Must be those ART cans mate, cos I'm the same without cans (on order) and I get nowhere near that MPG. :cry:

And also worth noting

Teamslug,

I had my forks done last Friday, lovely new Penske on the rear to boot, the difference is amazing.

Roger is also a hell of a nice bloke and is very hospitable when you go to his workshop. I even got to learn a thing or two. :lol:

Ride safe.

Busted

If you get the lenses from Busters be careful you buy the right size. I bought some cats eyes and they did not fit well. I ended up taking them off. While taking them off they virtually fell apart. :cry:

Although other guys have had no problems with them :?

Guys,

Would you mind supplying Daz's contact details, I'm looking for some ART cans in the next week or two.

I assume they are easy to fit? I've read the posts about silicone (loctite) etc.

What comes in the pack from Daz??

Thanks for your help in anticipation
