Hi Ben

have you still got the old front mudguard, if so could you email or whatsapp me a pic as I'm interested. By the way your bike looks mint in black with the carbon parts and full system.

cheers

Can you PM me your number please.

Well, I've gone slightly more sensible, If you can say that. I've just received my SuperCorsa SP tyres, Went for 200 rear again. Read some good reviews about them and have been told they are better for road use than my SC2's. Obviously not so good for the weather but I have high hopes for Feburary that we will get some warmer days

Lots of goodies to be put on very soon

Which sprocket in the front?

I actually can't find the front sprocket at the moment It's somewhere about. I wanna say its a 17.

No wonder you and Oli want to ship your bikes to Jimmy?s. You?ll be in the back of the van cleaning it!

You will have to be very gentle with the throttle and ride like Alex to make those SPs last the ride to scotland, do the nc500, and back.

I read that they are meant to last like 5k miles as slightly harder material than the SC2's etc. I hope they will : <

They?re duel compound, so indeed harder in the centre for straight line mileage.
However, for touring they?re far from ideal, I?d strongly recommend/encourage you to consider fitting a set of Rosso 3?s (or an equivalent) for this trip.
You could keep the SuperCorsa?s for the Summer, particularly as you intend to do a track day or two?

5k is probably hopeful.

Well the carbon wheels are on. Just drove it back now literally. Makes the bike feel so light compared to the stand cast ones I had. Couldn't do anything much as its dark, wet and have new SP's on. Overall look good and feel good

Great photos Ben, that first one with the foam looks very artistic indeed!

Your bike, as always, looks awesome and is a very high spec example [emoji16]
When are you getting your cartridge kit and shock installed?

Thanks Oli, Got to love the snow foam I really like the one with my mates CR, Sadly he only just bought it 3 days ago and it broke on our ride today
Shock and cartridge kit installed on 1st March
