I can live with them. Next mod is the CCT's which I have just sent payment for. Then I just need a undertray, rear hugger, finding a matching shade of red for the belly pan and front fairing so it all matches (three different shades of red at the mo ) and a new set of tyres. Thinking conti road attack 2's. Had them on my last bike and love them but open to suggestions on tyres.
Thanks for that. They're next on my list together with the CCT mod. I have three different shades of red on mine too! But it think it makes them faster....
Berko lad - - think Ckennedy might mean Wezmoto? These were the ones I got and I'm sure they're the same stuff as Hel - he's ex Hel, just around the corner and the rubber routing things had Hel written on them Half the price and v decent with the two banjos at the master end
Im guessing that the light is not focused by the reflector as a traditional type bulb would be its much more scattered so although you would easily be seen you would not have a focused beam of light to light the road . I,ll give it a go at night and report back
But for the day its not a prob this 120 smd type is the highest number ive seen on a bulb and gives of virtually no heat and low power draw.

First time I've done this but straight forward enough - put back with copper grease where necessary & spot of thread lock on dust cap!
Does help with the right tools- I need to buy a better allen set for use with ratchet set!

i hope you didnt use thread lock on the calliper pin dust caps as the next time you try to remove the pads you will be looking for new callipers as the caps wont come out
Lloydie, yep I did but reason was that I had a mechanic friend in Jun do a full brakes service/new seals and both caps needed drilling out (first time touched since I bought the bike) - and so I bought stainless steel ones & decided to put a wee blob of thread lock on but not screw too tight.
How do you do it? Just tighten? I was put off with my last experience (drilling out).

you will be drilling them out again lol
you use copper slip on them not thread lock and the same for the pins .
you only need to nic them up as they are only dust caps and they wont fall out .

Bit of copper grease and just nip them up. They aren't going to fall out
I would recommend removing them tomorrow and putting them back in - this will break the threadlock. A good fitting screwdriver or screwdriver drill bit on a 1/4 ratchet will get them out easily.

Went for a ride locally towards Driffield then market weighton to see how brakes feel- they were lovely; from the off they were powerful. Grippier than previous-feeling benefit of the braided hoses now I've got new pads in.
all i did today was put petrol in mine, ride to oulton park then ride back in shock

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

Don't know why you say it would be useless at night though. Seems better all round to me.
I,ll give it a go at night and report back
