and yes the rear caliper was seized while it was standing outside my mate house

id say you need comp unless your have somewhere secure for it to sleep over night.

Back ones aren't bad, very similar unit to SV. Front 6 pots are horrible.

Dave I'll tell you a story. YC knows the man I'm going to tell you about.
There is a friend of mine who is a very big, tall, beardy, heavliy tattoo'd biker..who had a rather tasty Bandit 1200 in black.
Everyone knew this bike and its owner very well. The bike was stored in his house, which was a feat in itself to even get to, and was guarded heavily by two German Shepherds with sharp pointy teeth, so was very unlikely to be stolen, and he only insured it third party only.

He met a new burd, and parked it outside her house one night. Two streets away from me. At 11.30pm he banged on my door, desperate.....as it had just been stolen. He'd only been at his burds house an hour. Did I say it was only insured third party only? It was never recovered. It was his baby. He was gutted.

Moral of story.....go third party FIRE AND THEFT or fully comp

As above, unless the difference between 3pft and tpo is more than the premium+excess, then i'd say you have to, unless you can afford a potential loss.

Imho with all that plastic i would be more thinking about comp vs 3pft rather than tpo vs 3pft, but at the end of the day, you are a nutter

He could always street fighter it before he chucks it down the road, then he could put the plastic back on to cover the damage
