    Can't beat a Doohan, nearly went there myself a few years ago. I ended up buying another Schwantz.

    I just bought an AGV K3-SV and am a bit disappointed. The back is too low for my riding position; it touches my shoulder blades and consequently tips the front down, compromising vision. I put some sponge in the front/top of helmet to jack it up. Works better, but of course a helmet only works properly (in an accident) if fitting snug all around. Shame really, because I have another K3 which is fine. Go figure!

    Odd one that. I've not tried an AVG on for years. Hope yours is appropriately MV coloured??

    Miles since the last mot and an advisory was front pads so again something else to bargain with

    Great set-up and will surely make riding more of a pleasure. I haven't considered adding such refinements to my 2011, because I know they will surely be standard on my 2019 RVF 1000 - if it's EVER born!:D

    I know its bling for a road bike but I run supercorse Sp's and they arnt to good in the wet so the TC should be very handy.

    Its the Shoei GT-air cog lid. The wife got it for my birthday.
    As for the brake lines, its the same as the standard set up. When I got the Hel lines, they asked if I wanted standard or racing set up. I chose standard. In hindsight, I should have gone for race.
