So most helpful breakers I have ever dealt with sorted the bracket and bolts I needed and it all lines up great and does what it should.......
BUT I have no stop rubber lol I have a while to sort it as only really want the stand for when I go on a two week Euro tour next June.... Now to take the bugger off again tomorrow..... yep it's a bit of a git 78

I did this and yep as soon as you get cheque they start taking money back, my scheme stated that the bike remained their property until all money is paid back and that under certain circumstances they could ask for it to be taken in (lose job etc...).
Like you I had a bit extra left over so got bits for the bike but only bits I could return with it if needed 79

There is a mounting point on the other side. 81

Sooooo I got a stand from a breakers on ebay, offered it up to the bike and there is nothing to mount it to on the rear brake pedal side?
Has anyone got a picture showing that side mounted or aware of what it is I am missing? Cheers. 82

Fitted new heated grips and finished fitting my new givi rack and box with built in stop lights. ..
Did not want heated grips cluttering up this bike but the 6 am chill is getting to my pinkies Went for the Datatool ones as the controller is built into the left grip 86

Spoke to Tony Archer today, he is going to gel my seat for a whopping £60
He said it will be full gel not an insert. He also said when done it's great for some people but not for everyone. Fair enough but at that price it's worth a go 88

Wind noise is low and very comfortable. I recently changed to a Nexx Xr2 as wanted full face, it's great but not as comfortable as the Duke. 89
General / Re: Sargent seat.... :(« on: 28 September 2015, 07:42:27 pm »Tried the Sargent seat and Yamaha Gel seat but thought both were mince. Thanks that's helpful as was going to try a Yamaha gel one. Picked up a bike for a mate Saturday, that has a seat by Tony so will see how he gets on with it. Might just give them a call to see what they can do for me 90

It is very clean well cared for bike, new owner is very happy
Met one of the former owners who had all the bits done including the Ivan touch He is a member on here too, never asked his user name though. Long day but we'll worth it 91
General / Sargent seat.... :(« on: 26 September 2015, 08:03:42 pm »
So I bit the bullet and got a new Sargent seat for my FZ1, totaled 7 hrs riding today and could not wait to get off the bike
It is easily just as uncomfortable as the standard seat so will hopefully be returning for a full refund. Gutted as most reviews I read were very good, no breaking in needed... Apparently great from the off.... Anyone else tried one, thoughts? 92

Ok so ticking I had a few months ago garage advised was worn cam chain tensioner and to change it for a manual one. Ok.
They changed it for me but to be honest the ticking never stopped. .... It's irritating me again, very noticeable around town riding, clearly coming from the tensioner area... Anyone else changed the tensioner and still get the ticking?? Cheers. 100
