LOL you have misconceptions that i can spend more than 2 days ever being single mate...

Well the bike is coming along nicely as time passes.

Had a disaster when the chain snapped this weekend at Oulton but no damage. Phew.

So what's new then.

Well i have an Ohlins rear shock currently winging it's way to me.
And a pair of Brembo P34's also going in the post today.

I think that's pretty much it for this year unless a pair of 5 spokes in gold come up at the right money...

Will sort out pics asap.

weeksy - are you still looking for OE dzus fasteners? if so, try www.giovanni-moto.com - not sure that web address is 100% correct, so you might have to google some variations.

they're a bit pricey though - £59 IIRC! :o

ouch.... don't need to be OE ones....

Can be pattern.

Not too worried about the fastners currently until i get the bodywork sorted.

Missed out and a nice 996R fairing in carbon this morning not meeting reserve :(

i don't know if they are OE or pattern - they are deinitely the same style. if you don't need them to be the same style, and are happy to use the "bigger" style (the ones that are always on ebay), then i might be able to give you the name of some guys who sel them for £10 for a set of 8. i bought some at the ally pally show and they look great and have lasted through the back end of the winter with no tarnishing - i'll see if i can find the packet they came in.

re: fairings: i know how you feel - i missed a mint and fully complete single seat unit the other day that went for £210. my computer froze as i was bidding :mad:

LOL i just sent him a message

"make me an offer, i did pay £645 for it though"

"in that case mate, my offer and what you want will be VERY different".

still as tight as ever then weeksy, surely you got the cash spare from what you saved on your track fairings :D:D:D:D:D

weeksy2 28-Apr-2006 19:50

LOL tight.... JEsus mate, my missus wouldn't agree....

She is shocked as she comes over and sees new shiney parts fitted every few weeks.

deej 28-Apr-2006 20:47

funny that, my missus is the same. every time she opened the garage there was something new in there :saint:
