  1. Looks a beauty, is it standard other than screen or is their a cheeky QS hiding in the other side.
    Many miles?

    Completely standard. Quick shifter is first on my list. Only on 7000 miles full history etc

    Thats good news i was a little worried but after watching a few videos its put me at ease. Cheers
     
  9. They do yeah, the new 13+ ones more so, worth noting that the engine has a hydraulic cam chain tensioner on a ratchet type system so sometimes as its about to click on to the next run it can be a touch noisier (or so I was told!)

    Also the 'whir' is normal, it's a triple thing!

    You should here an MV f3 up close ;-)

    Thankyou very much. First mod will be a quickshifter followed by a gpr exhaust and map. Then id like to change the levers and rearsets, i have been thinking of having the standard rearsets sprayed the colour of the frame until i can afford some arrow ones.
     
  12. I managed to get a set of colour matched foot rest hangers off eBay because the 2012 bikes had them matched, these just look SO much better!!!

    Oh yea thats awesome cheers phil. Much easier option than spraying.
     
  16. And I got them for about £50 and sold the standard ones which are horrible, especially on the blue bike, they stand out like a sore thumb!

    Yea they are the first thing i noticed that didnt look right on the bike. Loads on ebay so sourcing some wont be a problems. Happy days
     
  18. Also I really don't think u would be able to get that finish easily with an aftermarket treatment. It really finished off the bike for me. Damnit can't believe I ever sold my caspian :-(
