Looks real cool - i do not normaly like race reps but the Fila version suits the shape of the bike imo.
I hope you get some use before the crappy weather arrives.
Enjoy.

Will be sorted tomorrow,weather permitting ! What a laugh ! Just measured them and they are 1.5" on one side and 1" on the other ! I'll have 'em back to 1mm each side if the roads are warm enough !

Joking aside, I must say that considering that this bike is only 2.5 months old ( registered on July 20th ) it is absolutely hanging !! It is so filthy it is untrue.

The previous keeper seems to have just ridden it and never bothered to clean it or even check to see if anything has worked loose ( like the rocker box cover bolts that are weeping oil ) The chain is thick with gunk and grit and there is more gravel caught up on the suspension than the local quarry ! ( exaggeration )

How Mr previous keeper could own this bike and not look after it is beyond me... obviously has got too much money !

Give me time and it will be just as spanky as my old 999 and you would be able to eat your dinner off it !!!

Last job before bedtime is to put my dark screenon and remove the pins in the clip-on's that locate the levers and then set them all up !

I am one happy little bunny !
