Thanks gents, quality of the rim polishing thanks to the advice I received from Gus.

Considering a belly pan to finish her off, any thoughts/advice on style or supplier appreciated.

Nice one Pops. Exactly the same model as mine except I have a Staintune can and rims are still black. What other mods have you done?

Not much in the way of upgrades, just tidied/detailed her since purchase back in Nov 2010 at 23000 k's.

Polished the rims, new carbon fibre look brake & clutch levers off ebay, new PR2's from Jake Wilson, (fitted by me) and full major service & tune by Neil Anderson.

Very impressed with bikes performance & riding position compared to my previous rides. Taking her up for track day at the end of Sept so should get to give me & the bandit a good workout.

Hi Gus

Worst part was breaking the bead, a mate had a large truck type bead breaker (long bar & sliding weight) & I used plenty of WD40 in the end on the rear tyre. The fitting was easy after that. I found a lot of tips on u tube & one tip which I considered was using the car to drive over the bike tyre to break the bead.

I will do it again myself but I will make up a decent bead breaker before hand that will be attached to the wall of my garage.

I recommend having a go yourself for the $ saving on the fitting & tyres & very happy with the Jake Wilson mob.
