I intend to get a few bits from Tyga soon, standard shape fender (me no like my RCV style), exhaust hanger, airtubes and fairing in fills...all in lovely carbon.

just got to pay off the credit card before charging it up again.

i know that feeling alright,priced up a whole new body kit,dics,screen,alloy bits...ouch...

Something's wrong with me; they are nice and yet they fail to get my pulse racing!? Maybe it's the £80 they cost that I don't have to buy them?

Bit of a bargain in comparison to how much I paid a few years back - but it's always been difficult to put a price on Michael's artwork. Tyga stuff's good, but just doesn't have the same......je nais se qua.

Fitting carbon fibre air tubes over standard plastic versions allows the use of a HRC sweat band, without any additional weight deficit. Which in turn liberates another 5bhp from the motor, as pictured bellow:

yeh but all those weight swaps gains are invalidated by the aluminium preload adjusters and plastic steering stem plug, say bye bye to 10bhp cos of that

Cant say I agree with what you say on michaels carbon as it is not finished aswell as the TYGA stuff dont get me wrong its good carbon but its just not finished aswell. Take the carbon airlid for instance you have to trim the edges to the correct shape and drill the holes in it so that you can screw it down (TYGAs is cut to shape has all the holes pre drilled and all the edges are finished and laquered)

I stock both michaels carbon and TYGA so get to see both and am happy to sell both as they are both great carbon products but to me TYGAs has the edge over michaels

Like those Pazzo levery type thingies, I mean who's pay what sorta money for a set of levers

hmmmm I kinda see your point but the levers have function....I mean how often have you adjusted your preload...once when setting up your static sag, and then maybe a bit of tweakage once you are on the move...

Thats it..twice.

TBF the only reason I bought the pazzos is to stop the levers hitting the clocks and body work because of the clip-ons...and I bought the clip-ons because I prefer to be over the front wheel and didnt like the raised standard Honda ones....you start one thing and it leads to another and then another.

Oooh, I like the sound of that, I've got some nice clip-ons which fit the NC35 but sit that bit further forwards than the originals and the bars hit the clocks. I shall have to investigate some more!

Wasn't so for me back in the days of my RVF. My bodyweight varied greatly, depending on the time of day, how big a lunch I'd had, how much I'd relieved myself of before going for a ride, etc - almost as much as a couple of kilos from time to time. Not to mention fuel consumption, tyre, brake pad wear, etc changing the kerb weight of the bike. These details cannot be missed. I was constantly tweaking the little blighters to keep the static sag of the bike at its optimum, worked dividends on the handling of the machine despite its standard suspension.
