Re: What have you tinkered with today?
I think it's the age old 'if it's fitted it needs to be safe' . You don't need seatbelts in some classic cars but if you fit them and they are slightly frayed or not e-marked - FAIL |

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
That would be EXCELLENT for your tours. I really liked it when riding with my advanced instructor, it's great to be insulted mid corner and generally having an extra pair of eyes letting you know... |

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
To be honest I would have done the oil change AFTER the trackday. You've got it extremely hot then cold , then extremely hot etc. etc No problem, you'll just have to book another one now... |

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Might just do that. Cheers for the headsup Tam, good price and might have a go for that if I'm passing but I have a feeling they'll be £15's worth of wobble. |

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
