Just seen some Oberon bar end mirrors, £35 each so £70 for a pair!

Any links slappy???

Im in 2 minds...if i get bar end mirrors i want them to be bling...so like machined metal and looking......well just looking cool as foc

.....thing is though im looking for ones for renthal bars.

Might have a mooch on ebay...thing is they always look cool on there until they arrive & are piles of self destructing crap.

Went for my first decent ride of the year today , rode to Bibury via Castle combe and Cirencester , stopped off for a coffee and a slice of lemon cake , rode back via Tetbury , Didmarten , Codrington and ring road , Sun was shining , roads had lots of grip , bike felt great , I hope Mike's knee holds out over the weekend , looking forward to getting it vanished after reading all the positive comments .

Wheres "ring road"?
Took mine to Nottingham and back, into Herefordshire and Gloucestershire tomorrow. No Pics though - its red and my camera doesn't have a shutter speed that fast

thxs piln look on your face "who the fuck is this"priceless

duncans (tex) bike before

top looking few issues ie brake lines to short lol but buck all done

i can defo confirm now that a gen 2 top yoke wont fit a 98/99 bottom even with a hammer

so for a gen2 top to work you need gen 2 0bottom ot 07/8 r1 bottom

Big thanks to ya luke, got to recommend luke to all, sorted the bike back and front with some chopping and changing , don't forget you set the brembo m/cylinder up wires an all, hope you didn't hit traffic on the journey home, I'll post some more pics when I've cleaned it and got a better mudguard

Another nick crisp Wales mini epic today

M5/M6 to North Wales, first stop, Flint castle:

Then on to Rhuddlan castle:

Then down through Denbigh, Ruthin and on to Ponderosa at Horseshoe Pass (and this one's for Skippernick, just to show that my bike does still have a left-hand side

):

where the pick of the bunch was this beautiful Triton:

And then to Bala:

and some more of those fabulous Welsh mountain roads:

Build me a house here; I could sit and look at this view all day every day:

And stopped to annoy slimwilly and scrounge a cuppa (in fact, I went out of my way to do this

) before heading back via Hereford, Ross (after a wild chicken chase in Hereford which was fruitless - got lost $:\$ ).

A long day. Set out at just before 8am, got home 10:30pm. 429 miles covered. Gotta do it while the good weather is here though. And that's the new tyres fitted yesterday well and truly scrubbed in!

Haha, you never found the KFC

Did you eat the old curry in the fridge?

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #4281 on:** 24 April 2015, 11:03:46 am »

No, didn't find the one in Hereford. Wound up in some right old ghetto looking area (was all part of your evil plan wasn't it?

). Only road out I could find was for Ross (didn't help that I still had the dark visor on and couldn't see for shit

), so went there, but did sort my KFC hankering in the end

Fitted the ignition advancer bought earlier...then it rained so no test run yet.

Finally managed to dial out the instability under hard breaking on the Fazer 1000

Gave the bike a decent run out today to see what difference the full monty makes , down the A38 , up through Burrington , down through Cheddar , back onto the A38 towards Burnham , onto M5 , off at Glastonbury junction , headed towards Glastonbury , onto Wells , up the A39 , then A37 back home.
No hesitation when pulling away , not lumpy anymore in 1st gear , accelerates smoothly , on the motorway doing just under 90 at 5.5k , thought i was in 6th , no i was only in 5th , the full monty makes a great bike even better , wish i had it done years ago

esetest · « **Reply #4292 on:** 30 April 2015, 05:42:48 pm »

Replaced the wheels with the badly worn squared off rear BT023 , old front still ok , with wheels i bought off Luke with part worn michelin pr3 , ready for the MOT tomorrow .
Went to Fowlers to finish off the finance for the new bike , bought myself a new helmet and cleaning products , got 10% discount due to buying the bike .
Cleaned the fazer , topped up the oil , lubed the chain , checked lights , indicators , horn for tomorrow.
Took the fazer out for a spin , down to Cheddar via the A38 and back home via the A37 , the PR3'S do feel grippier than the BT023'S , but that may be just down to them having more tread .

Put it into the garage to have a pair of Michelin PR4's fitted. Collect it tomorrow all going well

Fingers crossed for you, hope it goes in your favour, especially as it was a 7hr interview! I'm lucky if interviews I've had to do lasted 7 minutes

mickvp · « **Reply #4299 on:** 01 May 2015, 10:20:14 pm »

Got some Michelin PR4's fitted front and back, plan on dropping the yokes 10mm down the forks if the weather is dry tomorrow.
