  1. Hi All. Newbie here. Currently riding an MV Agusta Brutale 800 and will be replacing it with a Monster 1200s but not till march 2018. Thought I would join and have a good read to see what others are saying about the bikes.
     
  2. I like a bit of forward planning. Welcome Dave:)
     
  3. There's not a lot of chatting about bikes on here. Now if you want to know about Television, Europe, holidays and medical ailments, this is the place for you. :)

    Welcome, by the way. :upyeah:

  6. Oh alright then. Just had my wheels hydro printed in carbon fibre. Looks great and only £80 a wheel.

  7. How durable is it?
     
  8. They blast the wheels then prime them, rub down then paint them, rub down then print them then laquer them. Guy said it was rubbing down concrete between stages. Laquer can be marked but is easily relaquered. Takes them a week to do but well worth it. Always draws people when I stop at meets etc.

  9. Do the bearings need to come out?
     
  10. No. The tank they use to hydrodip is stagnant water so no pressure. They use silicon sealant to seal the bearings then peel it off after. Rear being single sided swingarm has no bearings anyway.
