the first bit has just fallen off....

only an indicator lens but it's the right hand side and I NEVER turn left!!! Laughing

It was my first run on the bim since getting back of me hols.. maybe it's its way of telling me it's missed me (we're bonding quick!) Rolling Eyes

it's getting good... I've fiddled with the settings and it feels like it's almost where I want it now...

I love the high speed stability and the vibes don't bother me anymore but I might get it turning in a little bit quicker..

Can't believe how good it is handling-wise... made in '94!!!

it's a keeper!!!! Very Happy

Correct me if I'm wrong but won't that just make the overall diameter bigger and slow the steering down, which of course is counter productive?
Confused

It's a more "pointier" profile the bike should drop into the bend faster.
