When I got the 1100 it had a pair of aftermarket foam grips, they had to go, picked up a pair of nos grips, the LH one is freely available but the RH seems to have disappeared, anyway with a bit of digging I found one in Germany.

Then I had a dilemma, my 1000R has nos switchgear but original grips , so ....the new ones went on the 1000 and the used but decent onto the 1100


There's also a story about the new EBC discs that I ordered, as yet unresolved, more to follow.

Cheers, Paul

It's been an expensive morning, disc, pads, bolts, HEL black branded lines

Second set of discs from EBC, let's just say their machinist and quality man must have had a bad day with the first set.

Cheers, Paul

A bit more progress yesterday.

Front calipers stripped and cleaned, new EBC pads, fitted back on and fresh fluid.

Oil and filter change then Kerker refitted.

After a few weeks searching I managed to find an as new cubby for under the tail piece so that's ticked off the list.

Hit the button and let her warm through.

Just about done :D

No fair. It took me months to find a rough one.

The finished item.

A rough few weeks health wise but with the help of a couple of mates the little odd jobs were finished and the bike put onto its stand, it will be there until the next Cumbrian Summer which I think is the third Wednesday in July next year :D.

Cheers, Paul
