Re: what have you done to your
Nope - it's the same things that's in the front nose fairing plastic - the threaded inserts (x4) are embedded/moulded into the soft plastic which secures the screw fasteners mounting the headlight. Barbs on the insert keep it secure within the plastic.NZSpokes wrote:

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Had a custom chip made up which works with all the mods I have. The bloke who makes them has hundreds of hours on a dyno testing. It's proven to give around 6bhp on average (fitted his air box too) so will have it down the dyno again at the end of the month to find out what I've gained.
