Re: Puig crash protectors install

These are the bars

I bought the specifically because they were no drill but thinking about it I don't think they will protect the bike as much as drilled ones as the tank may become part of the bike protection lol.

Re: Puig crash protectors install

Ah ok. So I could just use the new bar which goes through the frame to knock out the existing bolt?
I assume the Allen key head on the pic is used to tighten the bolt to the nut on the brake pedle side?

Re: Job offer to fit manual ccts

There's a fair few forum members in Cymru. I'm sure there will be help on hand. It's the timing and confidence issue that puts people off having a go at doing cct's. It's like a mental wall that some people hit and makes things sound more complicated than what it is. And then there is that nervous ...

Re: shuddering from front

Old discs? After markets? Pulsating at lever? Any different at higher speed?
A sticky caliper would eventually cause a warped disc

Re: Motorcycle transport advice.....

I use a motorcycle delivery guy. Used him a couple of times now so when I bought a bike online, I am happy to give him cash and let him go and pick the bike up. He usually charges around 85p per mile one way. I broke down once. I got Swinton breakdown cover. A guy who knew nothing about bikes was se...
