  1. So thanks to you lot im now going to get new clothes for my niner.

    this is what it used to look like (pre off at snetterton)

    its since had a new tail unit and fender (currently unpainted white)

    the side fairings and nose cone remain as per photo (sans the decals)

    the wheels, frame and tank will remain red as they are

    so you lot, send me links/photos to inspire me before i order stickers with these bad boys

  4. The gloves saved me, but the bloody wire thingy broke and I have no idea how to re-thread it back :astonished:
     
  5. Just use bailing twine. Tricky tying up one handed though… :D
     
  6. You mean like the kids have threaded through the jacket to stop them losing their gloves? :D
    Might have gone a bit off topic here, sorry o_O

  8. That look is certainly growing on me.....:confused:

  12. Is that the BOA wire that broke?...if so you can get replacement BOA kits
     
  13. BOA? What's that?
    I mean the thin black thread that tightens when you turn the wheel.
     
  14. I think your gloves are the Knox Handroid? If so they use a Boa auto lace to cinch them tight. If the lace wire has broken it can be replaced
     
  15. Yup, like a boa constrictor (aka fuck off big snake)

  16. That's the BOA.
     
  17. It is a little fiddly job to do but easily done in the house one evening. Plenty of YouTube guidance out there...best not waiting until you are at the trackside and your session has been called though!

  18. Finally getting round to it
     
  19. Is that a ex post office bicycle I see to the left in the photo?
