Nice work
Are those Black shadow discs lighter than OEM ?
never weighed them but i think they are. they are 320mm discs instead of 300 as i have the later callipers.

Bit less metal I suppose.
There on my shopping list, as my OEM's weigh a ton
only done 2 miles on them so i cant say how good they are, time will tell though.

Dear Mr Flame. i got MTM and now they are to big :-( i is skinny lance again. i'm able to squeeze into a 32 waist jeans :-) but all is not lost as i can wear braces.
but even more to the point.... i always thaught that you can tax your vehicle 2 days prior to the start of the month... seems not.

Get to the post office tomorrow or tax online.
From DVLA.....
When to apply
If your tax is due to run out at the end of the month, you can renew it from the fifth day of the month.
If your vehicle has been untaxed, because you’ve just bought it, the tax disc has run out or a SORN is in force, you can tax from the first day of the month in which you apply.
If you want the tax disc to start on the first day of the next calendar month, you cannot tax your vehicle more than two days in advance.
Taxing a car, motorcycle or light goods vehicle
You can tax online, by phone, in person or by post.
Tax online or by phone
If you're the registered keeper, you can renew your tax by using the reference number on your Registration Certificate (V5C).
hope this helps

most excellent:smt080
well bike was out on its maiden voyage and i think i'm in love with this one :-) i done about 200 miles.
nitron shock is worth every god damned penny. its planted, its smooth.
front is nice but i think it needs some fettling as it seems a bit pogo.
dynabeads work, the claims are true.
riding position is superb.
