  2. Good colour choice for the hoses :upyeah:
     

  3. Yeah just the classic black keep it looking factory ish, but with the warranty too
     
  4. Out of interest, what oil is everyone running? Moto rapido said 15/50 shell, some places are saying 10/40semi, just want to make sure it’s getting the right thing ?
     
  5. 103_5cd5adaf6874e.jpg I use a 10/50. You will probably get as many different answers as there are replies.

  12. Final bits arrived today, think it’s only fair that I praise Luke at MotoRapido for all of his help! Nothing was an issue a brilliant service provided!

    Hopefully fairings on this weekend and a little trip up the road before mot
