    Ghostbikes do some decent stuff, but the all time best is RTUNA.co.uk

    So what are you going to do when the shops aren't there?
    You will only be able to look at pictures over the net if everyone does what you do.
    It costs money to keep a shop open and if we aren't spending, then bump.
    Your behaviour is shallow.

    Some of us dont have a 30k plus job, why pay £200 for an item ypu can buy from their onlibe site for £150, a lot of sites have an online shop as well as a walk in shop, such as ghostbikes. preach to someone who is interested in your attempts at causing arguments.

    We have a local car spares shop,one man operator go in and ask for something he will go out of his way to to assist and get you what you want
    also a brew and a chinwag ,laugh n joke none of this can be found on the internet
    ok he's a bob or 2 more expensive than online but i'm happy to pay that for a bit of something special if you know what i mean
    and no i aint well off either

    Just curious as to why all the bits.
    Is it an accident repair or just upgrades?

    Is the camshaft not a bit of a waste of cash for little gain?
    Each to their own like but is there much point?

    Its more a trial and error thing with the camshaft, want to see how much difference it'll make it

    I do the complete opposite, i mooch around the web, find what I want then go down to A&D's in Denbigh and they buy it in and fit it for me. I understand why you do what you do but when it comes to brakes in particular I always have them fitted by a pro. I am having similar fitted on Thursday, new brake discs and pads all round, new chain and sprockets, bar ends, K&N Filter. I am fortunate that I have a well paid job, but I am yet to meet a biker that hasn't at some point had to be careful about his/her expenditure. Your turn will come and good on you for modding your machine, good luck with the mods.

    For me half of the joy of owning my own motorcyle is being able to tinker with it and mod it myself, took an engineering course and i like to use it haha!
