    Been trying to find good quality chain in blue, anyone know a shop in the UK that would send to Finland? Got an `02 955i Daytona (the DSSA version if it counts)

    EDIT: Found an RK 530G xw-"superlink" chain just round the corner here, should be good? Don`t wanna put a piecost chain into a bike with 146hp...

    Taken the panels off of the Daytona to start detailing the bike with only a bit of swearing involved.

    Bike has been a right pain to start so I checked the plugs and number 4 cylinder plug had a load of oil in it.

    by the look of it just needs a new rocker cover gasket might also put Iridium plugs in and check the leads

    Washed it tonight after work - only fair after yesterdays playing in the rain - not helped by the superb condition our local farmers leave the roads in! One shitty little sign saying mud on road FFS! :tongue:

    Are they Metezler K3's on your bike as they were a real bloody handful on wet roads . slippery as a very slippery thing on a slippery day. :eek:

    M5's are much better for roads.

    Yep - they are standard equipment on the Speed - your right about slippery! :eek: I think I will go for a set of PR3's once these have had their day? Quite a few on here recommend them.

    Fitted a tail tidy now that looks better.

    MR H the pr3s are bloody good who ever had my speed triple before me had them fitted, sooooooooooo much confidence in the wet/damp.

    I think I've found a Michelin tyre more suited to your style of riding...

    Today I have been at the Keihin factory in Redditch with a mate who is getting a new exhaust for his Rocket 3 made. Really nice people and I am seriously tempted to get new exhausts for the America.
