lookin good! How is the fit and finish of the Sp can? I've not seen one in the flesh but they seem pretty well priced - have you got a video of it?

 

You tried actually leaning when you corner? Just askin'... :smile:

 

Looking good Bry.

Is that tape round the rims?

 

The SP can is great,the link pipe has gone golden brown,but I don't mind that.

VIDEO!!!!! it took me long enough to post a photo.

 

How does it compare to the old one Bry?

 

It is, K. Not a great lover of it usually but to be fair it seems to suit the bike!

 

It's a little bit better in every respect except the brakes but I think that's down to the pads as I usually love Brembos. I have some fairly sharp pads in the green one so I think I'll change them before I go to Italy!

 

Bugger I knew there was something I should be doing! :wink:

 

You married your bike?

 

well its a damn good ride! :biggrin:

 

Not a big fan of tape myself, Bry, but sometimes it does seem to look good. I like the red, but have seen a white triple with white tape. Do not like that at all...

Got some of those small mirrors. Didnt like them above the bars. But I do think they look cool under the bars.
Though the view is not fantastic. That might have something to do with cheap china quality control. The mirror is not perfect.
They only cost 20 quid, so its no big deal.....

 

Fitted these led side/parking bulbs - thoughts anyone? yes I am very bored...so bored I'm looking at another Fireblade :upyeah:

I like it. Are you getting the blade as a second bike?

 

mmm, not decided yet - I may trade the Speed in as funds are not that plentiful at the mo! The current wife thinks that my hobby is getting somewhat expensive???? I've told her I was 43 last week and its to be expected with a midlife crisis!

I just keep looking at old pics and remembering what it was like...
