  1. 848R imported from America, obviously.
     
  2. He might have already made the right decision ;)
     
  3. Unless there are undetermined surprises within the engine/gearbox then a definite bargain afaic

  5. You sometimes have to take a risk, and even if Chris's downside happens - it will still be OK :)

  6. Today's bling....Rizoma of course!

    Temporary until I can get something better...or it falls off due to aerodynamic pressure...

  7. I tried some cheapies once and the aerodynamic pressure (wind) just blew them backward!
     
  8. Is your motorbike currently in outerspace Richard?

    ( if so, it's even quicker than I thought)

  9. Yes, I reckon the same...
    Still, it's like having a speed limiter to keep me out of trouble!
     
  10. Errr...no?
     
  11. Yeah right!
    Get yourself a nice "Polite" vest ;)

  12. "Rizoma" mirror performed perfectly, even under extreme aerodynamic pressure loading close to the edge of the envelope...
    Visibility was better than @Cupid Stunt 's 848EVO mirrors when we had a bike swap.
    Not bad for £6.99!
     
  13. Next question: is the rear wheel nut 54mm bi-hex? What about sprocket side?
     
  14. Richard, I might be able to lend you a big socket, not sure though if the 1098 nut is the same as 848.
     
  15. I think the 1098 is bigger than 848, John.
    Don't need to remove wheel just yet but there will be a time soon so just want to get my toolkit stocked to suit new bike.
     
  16. Yes bigger and more torque too, so best get a big bar to match ;)
     
  17. I already have a massive tool...just need the nuts to match.
