As to the rear shock, I've got my old SV1000 shock sitting in the garage, So i'm going to try and fit that. I'd be interested in what you use.

evening john, might get a good deal on a penske unit through work, failing that it will probably be a hagon

Got to admit its stupid tank size.why stick plastic panels on,tank bag won't hold, when most people would probably prefer more fuel, I fill up near to 200 most times.

e: do you have a photo/link for the tail tidy? Can't see it on EvoTech's website.

I use the hole to attach my bungees for my tailpack! Very useful lol.

I am enjoying my gladius very much, going in for first service in a week! Then taking a drive up to my friend's from Southampton to Essex. Can't wait!

Nice to see more bit's becoming available. All thougth the R&G stuff is a little bit more expensive than the Evotech stuff, Is it because the R&G stuff is better made or is just the name.
