Cripes Charlene, that's ripper! That's the best soap Aussie I know.! Looks like standard CCT's on the rear fella. You may want to consider sorting them.

Happening now
• Aussie made dark DB screen in the post
• New R/R and starter relay ordered
• New black carbon pattern leavers on the bench
• 350mm carbon Delkavic mufflers about to be ordered (don’t tell wife)

Future
• 4mm rear shock shim
• I’ll get around to trimming back the rear fender
• Rear hugger
• Will probably go OEM CCT
• Paint chin spoiler body colour
• Touch up minor paint rub marks on rear seat fairing
• Coerce sprocket cover and fork brace
• LED indicators or clear lenses

I’d like Scarlett to stop better but can’t be arsed with a front end swap and realistically I will probably only have this bike a couple of years before moving onto something else as a weekend toy.

forget the oem cct's. get some manual's Krieger or something similar, it'll be the best thing you can do.

....or, to put the Al McQ spoke in, do the stopper mod on the new ones.

CrickeyMo two wheels you are all over this.

Cobber if you want better brakes buy a set of CBR600 F4i calipers and fit braided hoses, then you will need the Coerce fork brace as the front end will flex like a Russian gymnast limbering up for the Olympics under hard brakes.

They are the bees knees compared to the standard setup.

Good luck with the Delkevics, hope the missus doesn't notice them, otherwise you could be minus the wedding tackle!

Here's today's quick mod.

Not sure how long they will last but I like the look.
It's not my daily ride so should last a while.

I'll read up on the stopper mod and I have my eyes out for 600 calipers.

Get the 600 master cyl as well as the calipers, they work best as a matched pair
