  2. And @ducati dad dont they just let in all the shite off the roads, and rain, getting wet and causing corrosion? I agree they look great but would be worried about that.

    maybe I should start a thread on it? aka Can of Worms

  3. I have the same on mine, never had a problem, the centrifugal force of the clutch throws everything out.

  9. Right you lot.

    discs. @West Cork Paul and @Birdie Yes, I know. I will get round to it eventually. It is never ending as you rightly say. Already done much more than I had planned. And I still have to find time to ride the bikes.

    clutch. @cookster Mr Cook. Where did you get it and what make please? Not sure my budget will extend but I would like to take a look.

    I will list the suppliers I used shortly. The paint on the fairing and cf lacquer is nice and they ain’t far from you @chizel Chiz. Cost me £500 for the total job (not sure if this is good/bad or middling). I used them cos I was impressed with their set up and they are close to me so I could pop in whenever.

    Got to get some more bolts done.

    Earlier posts referenced my OCD. I definitely don’t have it thank God. I was referring in a jocular fashion to my list of fasteners. But, I like my bikes to look good as most of us do - they are our passion, right?

  10. Make sure you purchase the correct Dzus fairing fastners when you find the time,they are around about £6 each,i've a spare set now (but are now back ups before you ask:kissing:) as somebody treated me to a complete new set for my birthday.

  11. Arrrrrghhhh. Then I would http find the right fairing and screen screws as well. Mine are Allen heads. So, I think I will pass ;)
     
  12. Mine was a ducati performance part mate. Though I have got and aluminium clutch case I'm going to get machined out and sell.

  15. Five or six per fairing side that's £60/70 odd quids......Dear Santa:thinkingface:;)
     
  16. This one, when it’s a list of chores...
     
  17. Did the platers clean the bolts up before plating as part of the deal??
     
  18. This might be obvious and you are already doing it but on my SS, I used to press the middle of the spring to flatten and extend it and then hook it on.
