Redone my tail tidy today to this I?ve just got to get another metal plate made up for the light unit to remove the extra holes.

Instant tug up here with a plate in that position..looks good tho...

I'd like to know how those adjusters work too

Adjusts with a 8mm Allen key, either 2 or 4 clicks per 1mm of adjustment can?t really remember on that.

Love the adjusters, agree really neat. ?100 a tug down here as well on the plate though.

Had a smaller 6x4 plate in the same location on my Ducati for 4 years done loads of bike events, going in and out of central London and done 3 Spain trips without never being pulled, as long as they can read it and I?m not doing something stupid they leave me alone. Hopefully it is the same with this bike.

+1 thanks for the photos. Looks great!

I don?t think the plate location is too bad still very visible, this was taken from approximately 30ft away, @ Rykas Cafe

I was on a 300 mile blast yesterday Eastbourne to Loomies cafe and came across these getapic.co.uk on the side of the road on A29 near Bury

Oh those famous BMW replaceable pads. If they're anything like the other ones I've had, they mean 'replaceable' as in buy a complete new side.

Sam - same road last year. Scarily similar attire we have. I'm often found on the A272

A272. Great road. I know more intimately than I should.

Was you on the A272 on Sunday as we was going across billinghurst towards Lommies when another M-sport was behind me between 11-1pm and they continued down the A29 and that?s where I lost my mates who never had a view of me as I continued down the A272 they started following that one instead! Lost them for around 1.5 hours!! That?s where I stumbled across the camera bloke on the A29 trying to find them.

Sam - it's possible. Was one of your friends on a blue Suzuki (I think) and maybe the other on a naked?

Just came back from MCT Suspension in Stowmarket to have the suspension setup for me what a difference it makes

Race pro settings are:
1. Comfort
2. Fast road
3. Track

He also pointed out a strange clonking noise from the rear when he bounced it, not coming from the shock.

Interesting setup. Did they also set the sag, make internal changes?

If i am not mistaken the factory settings are either 6-6-6 or 7-7-7 across the board. (Total of 14 adjustments) Higher the number, more compression/rebound damping. Lower the number less compression/rebound damping. Are you quite a light rider?

Do you know why the fast road fork compression is more than Track? Braking forces are much higher on track than you'd see on the road.

Yes he set sag and no internal changes was made, it?s was 6-6-6 across the board and no fully kitted I?m around 18 stone.
I have no idea why the compression is more for track

Maybe the mechanical settings are different for each from factory...
