Forget or don't need to know... way I see it site members support you not other way around.
b*tching to us about decisions of admin won't get you anywhere.

Me bitching? I am just on wind up... it's what I do, and people make it real easy.
But, don't think you giving people a good price on stuff means site owes you something. It doesn't.


As gesture of goodwill I will bring you box of rearsets and my bike to take measurements from on Friday if you still need info. I am heading to lancaster anyway so it won't be owt out of my way. PM me if it is needed. I would rather see you selling these parts than some of other rip-off merchants around place!

Guys this is getting out of hand, theres two sides to every story and I think its a case of simple mis interpretation or confused messages.

Theres a thread in Idle Banter where I have explained things from John and my own point of view, with a copy of the PM that was sent to Matt's Yokes that has started all this off.

Here it is

http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=158686

Can we keep the discussion should you wish to in one place please.

I.e in the Idle Banter thread.

My offer to Matt is doing my little bit to support UK based manufacturers/talent and trying to ensure that he keeps in business and also giving us discount here.

I have my own selfish reasons for doing this

But if we don't support UK business, then everything will end up being produced in China and the Far East, and will continue arrive on massive ships which sail past my office window on a daily basis. They arrive full and sail empty.

I can see Admins point of view, so I'm not neccessarly agreeing with Matt, but I can also see where he's coming from

Think Blitish

Matt - which year pointy do you need help with? I'm on a 2010 and can do the cardboard templatey / measurey thingie for you if you PM me to tell me exactly what you need, but unfortunately wouldn't be able to make a trip up to you anytime soon!

distance between footpeg holder mounting holes is 56.0mm. They are M8 clearance holes.

Main difference to watch out for is that the K3 pointy had a slightly higher rearsubframe, it was lowered on later model pointies K4 onwards. This has the effect of bringing the top of the rear master cylinder closer to the subframe/plastics when you raise the footpegs.
