Shhh, quiet, can you hear that sound in the distance... Sounds like BSM typing frantically on google :biggrin

Anyway, what have I done/am doing?
Alarm fitting, day 2! (I only get the evening to do it, so this could be a long series!).
Found most of the loom connection points. Almost dropped the bike trying to test the side stand switch wiring whilst it was folded up and holding a multimeter in one hand - not a good idea.
Still haven't found a site for the alarm that I'm 100% happy with, so I might have to settle for 99%.

Have you ever tried putting new covers on the lines you have stripped Spider?

Can you get Carbon Fibre look shrink wrap? :lol:
I was thinking the same thing when I was reading the following back here:
If you take it off I would imagine you could replace it with shrink wrap to protect them again
And then I scrolled down, Doh Kev's beat me to it :lol: :lol: :lol:

So the outcome of the brake lines is that they are more or less both the same. Unless you want coloured. :thumbup:

Nothing to mine except move it, but did fit some R1 mirrors to Murv's Slow Silver but much faster than a blue Storm, & gave him the benefit of as much Storm wisdom as I could remember reading on here.

Is there much differance between the two?

Have Fun :thumbup:

I though not, but when I fitted a new twin single line set from the MC banjo, rather than the single line splitting at the headstock, I found that the new ones had swivelling banjos fitted, but the old ones were fixed.

Much easier to line up swivelling ones.

From memory they were both Goodrich ones, though.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

My evening involved swapping CCTs to manuals as supplied by ROAS (Tray)

Top piece of kit and a doddle to fit :thumbup:

Looks nice, but I have to ask why you have and orange bike and a yellow avatar... Are you aspiring towards owning a yellow? :biggrin

Looking good.

What belly pan have you got, is it the same as Karlos? I quite fancy one of those (if I can find one), but in a faster colour of course :wink:
