I was thinking along those line 15mm copper, plumbing fittings.Why not go the whole hog and connect up a radiator and incorporate it in the cooling system of the bike? Help cool the engine in the summer and keep you warm in the winter.I think it would be a unique customisation and you could spray it the same colour as the bike. Very attractive. Ohh! It would also give you a point to bleed any air locks out of the system, you could also put a tap inline to drain the system down, make sure it's a hot tap though, with the bit of red on the top.Dont need to paint it Tommy, Ive the Tango colour scheme bike I was thinking of fitting a drain tap, then I can fill it with water when I go out in winter. The heat from the pipes will boil it up, open the tap into a mug with teabag in, hey presto, a mobile brew on the road

You will have to post a picture of it
Took my Gen 1 thou for her annual checkup.Pass 1st time but an advisory for a new rear tyre.Got Pilot Road 4s at the mo - any advice on a different tyre?I've heard the Bridgestone T31 is a good choice.
Top tip, cheers mate.I think you're right, the video was done a few years ago but that tyre was highly regarded by RH.The materials used and tyre design can only have improved since then so, perhaps, the T31 is the way to go.Perhaps a bit more investigation required?? I have to say, I'm just looking forward to a better spring/summer and the chance to put a few more miles on the bike.We are blessed with such great roads in Wales, especially around the Brecon Beacons and Mid Wales area, which are just a few miles from where I live in Cwmbran, so looking forward to this year.Happy riding to everyone
The T30 Evo is a good tyre. I have been using them for a couple of years. Ron Haslam's race school switched to Dunlop Roadsmart 111 tyres in 2017, probably for commercial reasons.

Well, I made a start. Its out of the box
All on. Including a dcat pipe. Tight fit between the 2 to 1 and the link pipe, had to fit them together in a vice, and make up a bkt as mounting holes not quite in alignment
