Yeah agree their wide. Makes it hard for me to get me little legs down when I stop. But by heck, can they handle. And they have soooo much more torque than a fizzie.

so why cant you catch mine

New anchors sorted courtesy of steve at K2, and Yoda's diplomatic skills

Got a 6k mile rear shock, again, courtesy of Yoda (christ I owe him a few pints now!!!). Only prob is, the little pin thingummy what which makes the spinny think at the bottom of the shock click (it's 05:21 and consumed several beers) need replacing. The one on my current shock works, so can they be butchered to make one working shock? If so, how easily?

Tyres, any recommendations?

Chain and sprockets, agai, recommendations would be helpful.

And finally, anyone who can teach me to ride the thing properly!!!!

Tyres, any recommendations? - Round Black Ones

Chain and sprockets, agai, recommendations would be helpful. - Ones made of metal

And finally, anyone who can teach me to ride the thing properly!!!! - Bloody Hell your'e not asking much

Pirelli Diablo Corsa's are bestest or Dunlop Qualifiers
Always used Renthal sprockets and Iris chains on the R1, never any problems
Dave_59 is your man for low level flying techniques, me I can teach you how to crash safely into fields

[plodder]

I thought you were a Michelin pilot power 2CT man Kiwi?

Changed your opinion of them or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

[kiwi_r1]

Nope always run Corsa's on the R1 , ran 2CT's on my Honda tho

Well I'm gonna try Diablo Corsa III's this time round. So if I fit them soonish I'll let you know Stu, what their like. As for C&S maybe give Steve another ring? I'm sure he'll sort something out for you. Now riding technique. Hmm maybe less rolling burn outs and a few more ride outs. Lots of miles and plenty of bends make for good riding skills. Look at Dave and Andy. Andy is one bloody quick rider, having to follow the racing ferret all the time.

[plodder]

Got to agree with the miles theory.

And keep off the bl00dy motorway.

Bout time you changed your name too. Plodder's no use anymore. Or are you gonna keep it to lull them into a false sense of security.

Even you'll need a new tyre on the back before winter ................Diablo III on Ace, hmmm 200- 2500 miles........oh um make that winter after next then.

Be sure to lend it to Dave 1st, he can scrub it in for ya

Better still just go on one of his Lincoln runs again. Tyres nicely scrubbed in then.
