Default yay!

I have finished fitting my HEL brake lines and only took 15mins to bleed them BONUS!

Now I'm just waiting for the weather to stop chucking everthing at me so I can get out there and try them out with my new bars.

Bike is now all ready and just in time for NW3

I'm nearly done with my gixxery stuff ... but just had a thought ... it's been snowing today, and I've got race tyres fitted ... this might not be a good idea!

Got them as part of a kit a bought. But you can get them for about ?60 direct from HEL and they will make them to the lengh you want with any angle banjo fitted.

I had to send mine in to have different banjos fitted. Sorted for FREE as well.

Just got back after a nice 2 hour ride, the brakes are working fine as well and the new handle bars are just so nice! took a few miles to get used to them and now feels really nice in the corners and I feel really connected to the bike and it feels really planted.

Get a little more wind blast but not bothered by that at all.

Got hit be rain and hail and still felt good in the corners as well.

I LOVED IT! BRING ON NW3

Ah good stuff! I'll have to have a sit on your bike and have a feel of the set-up, wouldn't mind putting one on mine.


See you at NW3!
