I actually did buy some ally rear sets for about £100 I think, But if I could have made a set for £10, I would have.

All said and done, they do look good and I love my bike, But where do you stop spending money?

anyone know where I can get one of those under seat exhaust made to cut aerodynamics?

P.s. My bike weighed 168kg with a slight rearward bias, but sit a fat bloke like me on top it doesn't make much differance.

I Know where there is a large bore underseat pipe for sale..... Its just attached to a DD bike thats the only problem.....
Keep an eye on e bay tomorow....LOL

froggy. the race supplies ones are light but you will need monster ones as the ss ones bolt to a different position. get the monster ones he does.
we use them but they go onto a bit of durual (sp?) ally which is light but strong so i have drilled them so that i could move them back. but try them std to start with.
get rid of other heavy brackets like the one that holds your rear shock canister too all things like that add up mate

Cheers Al'

Yeah I was thinking about the Monster ones, I know frames differ from the SS ones.

And stop with my heavy Ohlins bracket, I love it
