Bike shop quotes

SBS brake pads which are great on the track and on the road also .



Brake pads - £25.59 + vat per calliper x 3

Hel Brake lines – Two line race set up front and one rear £79.75 + vat

Motul racing brake fluid (regarded as the best) £20.05 + vat

Fitting - £75.78 + VAT



Total all inc. - £302.82


That's including putting the mc on.

What do you think

I’m sure the lines from Hel are cheaper if you go direct. I’m not 100% sure but I think mine were less than that including VAT.

Oh wait, no, you’re right it’s £96 for front and rear.

Throttle is spot on. The new KTMs aren’t like the shinty old ones 😉

Bye bye Mr Honda. It was a blast. Funnily enough it was my love for this bike that convinced pretty much my whole immediate group of mates to get into sports bikes!

Only 160 miles on it, factory authority spec Yamaha FJR1300. I'm on duty tomorrow night so hopefully will put another couple hundred on it.

She's a beaut isn't she - made to measure, fits the quad or either bike. Plenty of room upfront for stuff (camping gear, firewood, tools etc) and the jerry can holders make my dingle tingle :lol:

Well I haven't had time to even book a CBT or theory yet, so I'm trying not to get ahead of myself. :lol:

Having said that, my brother decided to get his arse into gear at the same time I did and picked his new bike up at the weekend. I think the Caterham is kinda blocking progress. If I didn't have that sat there I'd be more incentivised to push the bike thing along quicker.
