Pointy Givi rack
Been tidying my sheds up and found Givi rack bars with panier mounts etc taken off my K6 the day I bought it. I felt it made the bike look like a pickup truck with the 46 litre box.

Re: Curvy rear caliper
I ended up with a refurbished caliper from a 2002 Hayabusa from a guy on eBay. My original was in a very poor state and would have needed pistons/seals/pins/pads plus the bottom plastic cover so it...

Re: Curvy rear caliper
Great! Thanks for the superfast reply.
