Just had the metzeler M5's fitted by HM Racing and first impressions over 200 miles are very positive, for medium to fast road riding. Very stable, don't seem to move at all, and very confidence inspiring . Almost at the edge of the tyre, and have been riding a little more cautiously than normal...

From Crowborough myself , so I might see you about. Welcome m8.

Quite right mate! Both our bikes now look awesome. Had a great ride on Sunday , and I swear it felt much better with the sprocket play removed, and road tyres.

Yeah the guy at HM Racing had to mess about with wheel, as sprocket was moving all over the place. No way that BMW would have even known what to do......

Yes, Steve, that you saw it on my bike and couldn't resist LOL. Don't worry about the longevity. They are hard anodised alloy , and on my blade I got 10k out of them. Enjoy.

Thanks Steve. It was great to meet you and have a good chat while tyres, levers, chain and sprockets were being fitted. Bike feels great for the road now, a transformation. And what about that shoddy sprocket movement from the rear wheel? If it wasn't for the fact that HM are so good at what...

I spoke to BMW and they informed me that or the first 6000 miles it can be up to a litre per 1000 miles. After this much less. Mine burns around 650 per 1000 miles at the moment, but runs sweet as a nut. I wouldn't worry too much as you have your warranty, but check with your local dealer also

Very cool. If you need a bass player let me know.......

Looks awesome in that colour Rich, enjoy it mate.

You can get alloy hooks that go through the loops. At the other end is the click fastener, and then just tighten the strap. New US20's come with the 4 straps, but they should be easy to get from Kriega. Hope that helps, if not can email you a pic at the weekend

Ah, sorry about that chap. Just trying to make sense of it all!

Thanks for the replies. So, if an aftermarket hugger a risk then?

Said the bishop to the actress...... No,no,no, it's not that sort of thread. This is serious! Seriously why did BMW engineers put a hole in the hugger? It must have a purpose?. Any thoughts ?

Can I ask why you didn't like the M5's?

Hi Bob, is it the Pilot Power 2CT,s you use? I think I will have to change my order with HM Racing and get them to order me some 2ct,s based upon your recommendation . Cheers
