It will work, but it will be brigther... but also hotter! So (correct me if i'm woring) there's a small possiblilty that it could start melting the plastic... so I would keep an eye on it!

after market air filters?

My air filter is due for renewal soon, & I was toying with the idea of getting an aftermarket one to replace it.... and perhaps get some power/torque gains? Now I've heard that K&N sometimes don't work that well on 'storms... can anyone confirm this? Also what about others such as pipercross...

We sell this through our branch in Gatwick, give them a buzz... they take Credit card sales.
Hmmm... sounds good. Have you ever used it? If so, does it work well in your experience?

Would be interested to hear.

Grrr... Front Brake pad hanger pin end plug won't budge!

Hi folks Went to change the front brake pads today... & have found that the end plug that you have to unscrew before you can unscrew the hanger pin won't budge! It's made of soft metal, & my attempts with a flat head screwdriver are just making a mess of the screw head, & now the screwdr...

I havn't done Snetterton yet - kinda because of the reasons you mention...

Lydden Hill is also a great little circuit IMO... very short, but much more difficult than you think - the 'storm works great here! Brands & Rockingham National are my other personal faves at the moment !
