    Not the running in debate again :lol: My bike came from Fowlers. By the M32 it was going fairly quick ;) I didn't bother with running in. It got its neck wrung from the minute it left the showroom :roll:

    I can get there a few different ways, depending on time of day. But you are right Bristol is rubbish if you're in a car. I only go there in the car if im getting something i couldn't put on the bike.

    I dealt with Phil - forgotten his surname - he was very helpful. It's a nightmare to get there though, the road around Temple Meads is hideously busy, and pulling out onto the roundabout - it's a close eyes and hope jobbie :lol:

    You are not wrong there. I must say I havent been in there for a few years now though. All around Temple meads is a nightmare all 1 way and always busy

    Hi mate welcome to the site.
    Is it the guy who has bored out the 675 to 724cc! that is selling the race parts?
    I was following that thread for a while but have not looked on there for some time.

    Oh yeh looking at your picture its just reminded me of the other part that I would suggest you purchase, the gel seat, I found that on a good days riding, the standrd seat was a little hard on the backside by the end.. The gel seat is one of the best things I have bought, looks good to.
    just spending more of your cash for you :lol:

    Nothing wrong with that - now go and get the seat as well, more stimulation :lol:

    I ditched the idea of the arrow pipe for a new lid and the Garrett 2 piece. The only extra I bought was the double bouble screen and alarm
