Hi again. Yeh the cost was £315 but that included a new L/H switch gear jobby for £45, so around £270, Im not complaining. I would love to have done it myself but untill My wife and I own our own house, we just havn't got the facilities to do it.

Ray @ Rosso Corse has quoted £500-£600 for the job, inc labour and new belts and studs re-shim etc. The labour is 8hrs @ £35 per/hr. I ride it in and I ride it back out. That seems fair, but I aint got the £280 labour.:rolleyes:

Compare that to the £115 per/hr the garage want for the car!!!:o

You should give Neil at Cornerspeed a ring (Nelly on this site). While he is up near Nottingham he will give you a very straight answer to all your question. Lots and lots of people in this club use him. Top man he is.

I've got a couple of new cylinder studs you can have for the cost of postage. Not sure if they are the older ones though, so you may want to buy them from a shop just to be sure.

Cheers,

Thats very nice of you dukess1999! Is there a means of identifying them? Someone said that the replacements are black and someone else said they'er thicker? But like you said, to be on the safe side?:confused:

Well Rosso Corse have been spectacular. I called in there unexpectedly Tuesday evening as I guessed that they'd not have started my engine strip down. They've had it a week and done phuck-all. I might take it back if they dont get it sorted soon.

The last thing I need is to have to collect it from there in a poxy wheel barrow cause they stripped it and then ponced about and its still in bits!! :mad: They cite holidays as the reason

Hooray! Rosso Corse have got it stripped at last. :cool: Lets hope they get it back together quicker than it came apart! :rolleyes:

Boy, did I not see that one coming. Rosso Corse reckons the parts never arrived! :mad: Looking like the parts supply are as unreliable as the bikes!:rolleyes:
