don't have the spare cash lying round at the moment mate. Just bought new wheels, a 2nd rear stand, and need an alarm fitting this month. Add that onto the car service and MOT... and the holiday to Tunisia in less than 2 weeks


LOL just can't.

I reckon given some of the near hysterical reactions here to servicing one's brakes, I reckon we all ought to get "experts" to lubricate and adjust our chains too. Or how about changing light bulbs? Both equally important when it comes to safety.

Mate...I've been dropping a hint at this kind of thing for the last few years and it seems to just never happen.

I know Iconic was working on it, and then had his computer go down on him (oher missus)

I then volunteered to go throuigh ALL of the techinical thread myself and pull out/list all that could be placed in a technical archive...but that seems to have fallen on deaf ears???

Surely not that difficult to achieve, time consuming to get it of the ground , yes...but impossible...no.

Other boards I use have this 'technical archive section' and its invaluable.

ok, calipers and MC are off to MotoSPort@Greedys this weekend to be stripped and sorted out.

Thanks for all the advice guys, even the stuff i didn't like

Even me little vfr 400 has them on now!

'Kin 'ell mate, they must be sharp! I nearly looped mine the first time I rode it braking into Edwinas, and that was on standard brakes!
