£200 quid fitted.

I don't have the bits and bobs to take the wheels off the bike myself.

Cheers

Looks like there's a new kid on the block!

I can vouch for that. My mate has them on his K4 GSXR600 and they have skipped out at the back on him a few times, not even when hes been accelerating hard.

One time I did see this happen, the bike was almost going sideways, then flew round to the right to about the same extreme. Needless to say, he pulled over immediately, checked his trousers and had a cig! Never seen my mate shake so much ever!

i think M&P are doing a pair of diablos for 159 quid if that helps.

By the time you add £35+ fitting on top (ride in/out) it's not that cheap IMHO.

steve, do you notice big difference btwn those and the standard?
