Ben's 2015 S1000rr

[soofsayer]

Well, Long old journey today started at 6:30am, Drove down to Battersea to collect my bike to go down to MCT, Collected it and they did help me get the bike in the van which was appreciated, special thanks to @Alex for lending me the choke stand and the straps defiantly helped so much. Arrived at MCT for around 12:30ish and was met by Darren, Top guy really nice and knows literally everything regarding bikes. He was Superb and gets the best review and recommendation to anyone on here. I believe some of you have been down to see him and will also know he is just great at what he does, Overall very happy with the experience and can't wait to try it. Bike looks the part with my new MCT stickers on the forks Also the shock looks awesome too! Honestly so so happy I went to MCT absolutely great experience. So I've literally just got back now dropped by back off at battersea as they need to finish the service as they could not test ride it due to weather.
Long but good day!

Nice one ben . Glad it went well for you. I wouldnt rush your test ride, its bad out there.

Does it have integral indicators?

Does it have integral indicators?

Ahh.....Nop.
Generally just use hand signals if cars are behind me.

Thinking about maybe getting rid of the black fairings, Keep all the carbon but have a nice light colour to go with it

If you do change the colour, make sure you inform your insurance company (I?d send a photo in addition as @JimmyMac recommends)

A contrasting colour would look really good!

It's just the tank that'd be the problem...Think they are really expensive arnt they

Indicators for the NC500 would be handy, for the rest of us.

If I end up putting my bike back to stock I will have a spare fuel tank for sale that you could get repainted.

It'll be on till I'm told to take it off, Went past about 5 police cars on way to battersea and nothing ^_^
Soon as I'm stopped and told to remove the 7x5 will be back

I have a friend who has been fined 3 times at ?100 a go and he still hasn't swapped his plate. Me I always have standard full size legal plates save any unwanted attention.
