You want it posted ?
would it fit in a smaller box and reduce postage costs if you smashed it into smaller bits with a hemmer?
Now that's something I'm missing from my extensive collection...a hemmer...spose it would be good for taking me trousers up, but cant see it being any good for breaking things... :lol:

No that would be an embroidery machine & it's cheaper to get someone else to do them... Carl told me to say that... :lol:

yeah i had to cut it off mate i think or just remove it when a bolt was wombles, never had issues with the manuals fitted

i was sceptical about running it like that but think Tony set my mind at ease about it so just used it as was and was not a problem

That tankpad looks like a factory fitted pad as if it's made for it. The Yellow stripes fit in well with the bike. Looks good. :thumbup: Nice selection of wine too. :biggrin

It is factory fit. From motographix and colour matched to get same yellow. They were great even sent colour swatches to me to make sure. Little bit extra cost, but she is my baby.

As for the wine not that good as I have drunk most of it!!!!

Tank pad looks perfect mate, even if it is yellow :D

Carl, I noticed the wine too... Just about to crack open one myself.

Who's that bloke loitering around your bike?? I'd watch out for him, looks a bit dodgy :)

I bet you're not about to start watching 'Chernobyl Diaries', I am! Looks rubbish, but I'm loosely interested in Nuclear history :)
