Did the Normales and Vs get the same Nissin/Brembo combo? That's the only reason I can think of to explain "everyone" getting it wrong!
Anyway it turns out I'm actually quite happy with my $1 investment, to hell with the Fashion Police! :doh:

Ooh you meanies, can't believe that our resident part-muppet and the Aussie contender for Tart's Handbag of the Year are trying to hang shit on me for my mods! :naughty:
Lucky my opinion's much more important than yours, and you're not near enough for me to do this to ya. :bollocking:
Anyway next is the front tyre too, when I get more supplies from China. :tada:
And then I might ditch the high-vis vest and install flame projectors. :lightfart:

A flame projector mod sounds nice! That should scare slow pedestrians and cocky cardrivers

Well I ran out of paint half way through the second coat, apparently a $1 fleabay paint pen (with free postage) doesn't go far. Off for a road test today, at least now I've got an excuse to refuse to park on gravel, that's worth a dollar anyway.
I wonder if they do one in matt black??

They re not the top quality but for the 8 euros that they cost,they ll do the trick pretty nicely.
Also bought a 2pin relay for led blinkers and everything works nice.

I bet those dymags are light. They look like 5.5 inch rims?
