Very nice, and red’s the best colour too!

Have they stopped making the black ones?

I know mid-January's a bit late for this, but did anyone get anything interesting/useful/blingy for the bike or workshop this Christmas?

Along with my usual Motocourse annual, I also got these two for the toolbox. One, I think, will be very useful, the other might be a bit gadgety.

The MityVac is something I've been wanting for a while and should hopefully make the regular task of bleeding the Evo's rear brake less of a chore.



And this is ideal for lazy mechanics but it may also be useful where there's restricted access and you don't have the room to swing the 10° or so with a traditional socket. It has an impact action and is rated up to 40Nm, so should come in handy for something.

I have a mityvac. I haven't had to use it on the M900 but it has been used elsewhere and it works really well ( particularly on the car when there is only you ).

That's good to know, thanks!

Next job is to change the fuel filter then I'll try out the MityVac.

I had a integrated rear tail light with sequential indicators. Worked for about 30 seconds!
Design Corse encouraged me to return it for exchange, two days later they declared themselves insolvent, meanwhile my light unit was in the post to them, not seen it since!😡😡

Happy New Year All,

Late present:

Got my forks back from Maxton today. GP20s installed, plus new anodized inners, and Gold anodized outers. No T shirt mind (

Just need to put the Ohlins Spring on the rear plus new Rearsets on, gold Fatbars & bar ends.

Will report with pics, once done.

Well, not Santa, more Parcelforce. However, nice pair of Serie Oro Brembos with pads to suit, and I'll add my recommendation for Simon at WSC Performance Ltd, who was very helpful

Bet you can't wait to try them out!

I remember when I had my forks done, I had to wait a week before I could road test them. That was a frustrating seven days! We'll worth the wait though.

Glad you had a good experience with WSC. Simon was very helpful with my order and gave me a good price too.
