P.S Pads are same between pointy and curvy at front, rear are different.

Cheers YC.

Rear got changed with a brake fluid flush during summer, so that's ok, so it's just the front.

Just got to refreshen the suspension and it'll be basically a brand new bike!

If you're in Sheffield it might be worth your pottering up here for the suspension

Could pop up sometime during summer, depending on money though to be honest mate. Might just drop a ZX shock in, but it's the front I argue with most! Can't afford a GSXR front and can't really be bothered with the speedo stuff.

Springs and emulators work well and are reasonably priced, should be <£200 all in.

Got different springs and oil in currently. Just feels like the front's gonna tuck sometimes but that may be the tyres. Gonna hop onto some Michelin's after this (get 40% discount), I'm riding BT023's I think at the moment, and they're ****e in the wet in most cases.

if its 10/40w then you can mix as the weights are all the same.
just additives that differ but they wont cause any problems when mixing
