Finally found an overcoat that will go over the leather jacket, look like a very brightly coloured Michelin man but no matter. Stoked, hopefully the end of the saturated leather jacket.

I pulled the pin on that mate, got too many things I want to do to the bike between now and Xmas and hopefully have enough money left to see me through the holidays without restricting the riding too much, fed up with running out of money ten minutes into my time off.

Sorting the FCE for the bike this week and next the a BMC air filter and and i'll fit these and the bits I got off R Dog in one fowl swoop, on that does anyone have electrical wiring skills? As I understand it's no biggie but I loath electrical stuff and would'nt mind someone there to make sure I don't f_ck it up!

Yeh, it is a shame coz I know it's gonna be a mint ride.

Stripey thingy's : Progrip wheel tape. I don't think you'll have too much trouble getting it from a bike shop in town.
Alternative would be buy some pinstripe and use the applicator I have here, the only issue you might have with that is the weight of the backing on the pinstripe might be heavier the the Progrip stuff an make life a bit awkward but you should be able to get around that by having someone to help out by gently pulling on the backing as you apply the stripe. If you choose to go that way buy 7mm wide pinstripe, no more no less and absolutely no less than 6m in length.

You mean the wheel bling? Pretty sure I saw some at AFC the other day. Need to get me some for the Honda too I think - make the wheels go round faster with a bit of red.

Yeah similar, mine are'nt quite as thick as those, they look to be about 10mm?

I'm not sure it suits the triple. I think the thinner stripes would be far better, but I'll just stick to the standard charcoal wheels.
