Simple answer to both is YES!!

Also, while we're at it, anyone know where I can get an ally gear change knob?

Try dangerousdave for the gear change knob. His work in S/S is very good.

I don't think "loud" adequately describes it

And we've already had Metalface chop his fingertips off, we don't need you blowing your foot of as well!

As far as the toe pegs go I bought a set of these to replace the knackered ones on mine.

The zorst looks rather quiet and restricted. Bit more flare out needed.

Toepegs ordered, excellent.

I didn't fancy the standard R1 front guard much so got myself one of those weird ones that are for the later R1. It doesn't fit of course but when does that ever stop you.

I will have to get rid of that stupid R thing and make new brackets (stainless no doubt

) but it should be alright once it's painted and on properly.

I hope.

Looking good bud, I know your only test fitting it but when you make your stainless fittings

I assume your going to mount it closer to the tyre.

Nah, I'll just put bigger tyres on.

Nice and snug, I was going to make a smart arse comment about the direction arrow on the disc being the wrong way round, until I realised it's the manufacturers name that just looks like an arrow.

I'll get my coat

Looking good buddy

Quite a few have mentioned that direction arrow and it even had me going at first.

Not too bad! What do you need doing?

I'm trying to make the new switches work as well as wiring the new speedo etc.
I'm crap, I just had the head lights flashing 'cos I used a feed for the relay which turned out to be the indicator feed from the flasher relay.

AAAGHHH.

Stop, it, it's not funny.
