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? :lol ). 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 :eek ), so went there, but did sort my KFC hankering in the end

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 8) .....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.

Mike has worked his magic on the faster today , top bloke it feels like a new bike , no hesitation when pulling away , smooth through the range and no longer feels lumpy in first , looking forward to taking it out tomorrow afternoon , also thanks to LUke for the. Venue and coffee .
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
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 .

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 :rollin
