Front springs and heavier oil set up for your weight (£80-100)
I did think my weight should come into play somewhere. I'm 6"3' and 18 stone.
Braided hoses and better brake pads (£80)
Dealer told me braided hoses shouldn't be an option really till the ones I have are 2/3 years old?!
Different tyres (Metz Z6/Road attacks/vipers/Stradas) (£200)
Do the tyres really make a difference to how the biek feels, ya?
Exhaust (Renegade is a good choice, plenty others out there as well)(£300)
Rene website confuses me...it seems really expensive...I presume when you say £300 that's for a just an end can, and that the higher prices (£1500 and £1200 etc) are for full systems, downpipes etc?
Rear shock (Get a proper shock(Hyperpro, ohlins), other shocks are just a fudge)(£350-400)
Rear shock seems like it chould be very important alright. My weight an issue here too?
Tart up bits
Indicators (Any, just try not to buy Motrax, they WILL fall apart)(£30-60)
Tail tidy (Hamicad)(£40)
Isn't this the DIY one? Seems to look really pretty but not sure if I'm gonna be comfortabel hacking at the bike....
Wavey brake discs(£240 - Trade direct.com or co.uk)
No idea what these are/do....sorry...
Advanced training (£100 a day)
Have done some training already, and do recognise the benefit and need for same!
That should be enough for now
Cheers!
