    Cheers @Boothman
    I was actually wondering if they would work with our box from Jens. After all you do get different types of LED bulbs for the house that are dimmable and those that are not.
    Good man, i will wait your invaluable info. :D:D

    Of course, I’d forgotten that you’d also done the same headlight mod. Bit of a bummer that then - as if it works you’d need to buy your own and if it doesn’t then there’s no point in my sending them to you o_O.
    Let’s see what happens :), @LRJimmy loss may well be your gain @mk3golfcab :D

    Well today I had a 90 mile trip and 45 of those were on new super grippy M9RR’s. Thats how far it took to get to civilisation and back again :eek: but at last I got to play with the Translogic QS...and it’s fantastic, even 1st into 2nd was slick. :D

    The difference is night and day, I’d never realised but seeing the old Battlaxes off the rims they were well squared!!

    These M9s certainly heat up fast :)

    It’ll be interesting to see how you get on with the M9RR’s, I’m always interested in new tyre technology.
    The Translogic IS4 is insanely good, couldn’t be without it now.

    Great choice LRJimmy. I'm a massive Metzeler fan boy!

    I'm using their racetec RR at the minute but would like to try the 9rr as the 7's were so good for road riding.

    I got them from recommendation because of the 7s so I never pushed them much on the way home. I pulled away from the fitters and did about 3 mile to a B&Q on the way back and had a feel and they were nice and toasty with that short town drive. So I think they will be proper grippy once they are scrubbed up a little :)

    Got my Puig double bubble on and played around with my recently installed HEL lines to see if I could get the near side line from touching the fork.... bloody impossible... either that's the way it has to be, the line is too short or somehow I've done it incorrectly... ideas?

    Here’s a pic of mine if that helps. I can’t take credit for it as I had them installed by a workshop. Seems to be some extra fastenings?

    Thanks mate.. your nearside line is much longer than mine clearly as I've used the mud guard clips (but can't get it to the central one on the triple clamp) too but have way less line than yours... I have enough flex I'm just concerned with it touching the fork leg.. (obviously not ideal..)

    If it makes you feel any better mate, I have a wiring cluster underneath my lines which do touch the fork. If it wasn’t there, then the brake 9FE99DED-38B5-4D0C-8FD6-90B98C3CC29B.jpeg lines probably would touch it.

    Fitted quickshifter after some help from @Mr_Chin_LK thanks again :D

    Changed airfilter from OEM to a Sprint P08. The difference is mad between the two!

    Fairings still half off as waiting for oil and filter delivery.

    Thanks to Lozzy and Blade Runner I got this thing sorted.

    I had one fitted previously but the rearsets I'm using atm have the lever mount at a different position so the rod needed some length adjusting.

    20200502_200938_copy_2016x1512.jpg

    Still needs some slight fettling but I will do that on the test ride and take a couple 10mm spanners.

    Oil change tomorrow.
