    It has begun. Already bought some LED sidelights, adjustable short brake/clutch levers, renthal grips, an aero screen and gel seat. I need to calm down.

    Hello Alex

    They aren't R&Gs, they're T3s. They come with a mount with replacement engine bolts, so you don't drill the fairing. The decals on your bike are standard for a M/bike. The screen in your pic is not original but looks like you're changing it anyway.

    Is the screen on my bike higher than a standard screen at the moment?

    'sup Alex, welcome to the forum... bike looks good mate. I have race gearing on my bike -1 +1 and am very happy with that set up... As for tyres, I run the 2CTs and love them but will be giving the new dunlop smartsmarts a go next - they are very favourably reviewed and seem to be trumping the rest of the field at the moment in comparison tests.
     
  10. I've got sportsmarts on and love them! Given me so much more confidence from the supercorsas! :D

    Cheers for the hint on gearing. When I replace the C&S's I will be doing -1 +1 for sure. What's the top end with that set up? <150mph>?

    I fitted some short adjustable levers today, black with gold adjusters. They look great.

    Bought some Pirelli Rosso Corsa's today. What a cracking tyre. £220 fitted for the pair with £25 cashback from Pirelli.

    Gel seat fitted today. Feels like a lower riding position (can someone confirm this?) and has definitely made a difference to the comfort.
