Hi,

lol trust me I would but it's for the missus, she can't hunch over for too long otherwise it hurts her back so it's a must have at the mo :(

Certainly 10x better then them naff renntec 1s. Last time I took the bird on the back with the renntec grab rail, I braked so hard that the rail bent and cracked the rear fairings :smt010

Regards

Where did you get the bolts and nuts from for the rebuild? Are they the set off eBay?

That's why you don't bolt it to the fairings. winks

Can you do me a favour and... just drive your bike through a really big, really muddy puddle, so I can stop being horribly jealous of pretty much the whole thing.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply been very busy and ill, the bolts I just measure up the originals and then purchase stainless ones from ebay. Guy named boltmeup i think.

I then polished them up on my bench grinder to a mirror finish and vwala. Just remember to dab the threads in copper grease before you stick them in, stainless and ally dont like each other.

Hi,

The hoses came from Samco Sport, the water pipes were on Egay also Samco Sport. The blue pipes on the engine are just normal silicone 5mm piping.

Brake calipers are from a 2009 GSF650 Bandit

How much is all the little bits of powdercoating? Do they become expensive or are they reasonably cheap to do powdercoating of things?

Very nice - need to do better with mine :smt010

So I guess you forgot where I live ? 6~8 weeks for wheel spacers :smt018

Now get out there and start using it (preferably through big dirty puddles) :smt003
