Better late than never - mirrors are Rizoma by the way Slob.

Big thanks to Richard at Maxtons for fitting & setting up my shock (and for the fun we had getting on and off the trailer) - its been lowered by 1" and has a remote - carbon side panel needs a bit of shaping to fix round so tempoary fix at present..

Tapered cans are almost impossible to shorten as the diameter changes and the caps wont fit.

Leave my Zards out of this - staying as they are

Well done Char. All you need now is a carbon hugger to protect it from the crud!

Yes, and for that reason I thought it was unlikely, but couldn't quite decide from the pics whether just an inch or so had been lost.
In the end I just had to ask.
Should've gone to specsavers !!

Looks VERY nice.

Jolly good show Char!

Dang I keep getting shiny bits and I hate polishing things me !!
Used to be one of the matt black brigade and something infected me with shiny genetics and it all went horribly Pete Tong

get used to polishing away ...

Now I have this unit I really ought to replace the carbon hugger - has anyone found one that will fit with a set of Zards and not melt or detatch itself - was looking at these
