It's a good mod and you can go all the way from drilling a few holes to removing the whole plate and inner tube.

Don't know where you are based but if you are close to west midlands, I have a pair that I have used for the last few years that are already done to the full plate removal.

Allows you to keep your stock ones standard for when you sell, mine are spotless but surplus to requirement, so happy to take Â£50 if you collect them.

Oh and they sound great. Not too loud, but very sporty

If you do it yourself, I think you want 5 holes. Mark out from the top evenly spaced. Mark with a centre punch and start drilling with a small drill about 4mm. Providing your marks are in the centre of the ring you can open them out gradually to 12mm.Best of luck.

I've been down to my M&S and they don't do bike servicing!

Well I certainly gave them a piece of my mind

"If you can do it in the west midlands" I said "you can do it here"

That security guy was really big
