I'll second this. FWR replaced the tyres on my last ZZR1100 and left two caliper bolts loose and screwed up the balancing of the front wheel so much it felt like I was riding a pneumatic road hammer. I'd ridden slowly through London on new tyres and the hammering only showed itself once I was on the M1 doing 60mph upwards going home. It was too late to go back to FWR that evening, so I chose to carry on to home and sort it when I got there. Next day I took the wheel to my local bike tyre place and he removed 120g of weights and stuck it on his balancing machine only to find it needed no balancing weights at all.
I've used Essential Rubber before and found them very useful, knowledgeable, helpful and quick
