Honda boxed NGK's, they're the ones you get from DSS although I've had un-Honda branded generic boxed ones before.

Oh aye I know ^_^ I usually source the sparkplugs locally as theres sometimes a decent saving to be had. I suppose since you ordered so much there wasn't any point ^_^

Well, got a package in the mail today...
The quality is spot on,
very nicely made, very happy. :D
The air tubes especially are so very very nice, took me ages to find the seam where the material meets. It's right on the inside corner where the resin conspires to hide it so unless you are really
really looking you can't tell it's not just one tube of carbon (which would of course be impossible)! There is just about no way you'd ever tell when it's on the bike! :D
Big thumbs up for Tyga.

Fitted a few bits.
Tyga front subframe

Two very minor complaints about it, firstly it was a very tight fit and had to file a smidge off it and secondly the 'post' for the rubber mount for the back of the headlight is of a smaller diameter than the original so the rubber block won't stay on and it's a touch longer than the orignal so will need a very tiny bit taken off the end. Still very nice and I'm happy with it, well apart from it came with screws for the clocks and I'd already gone and got some more!
Diamond Race rearsets, left side, need to take the fairing off to attach the other end.
I'm going to have to do some cleaning!
You can tell this hasn't been used in the wet/winter, look at the exhaust manifold nuts!
Anyway, trial fit the RHS and it wont go nicely with the pegs in the position they are at the moment due to the brake line.

So I may as well fit the new line while I'm at it along with of course the hydraulic brake light switch and smaller headed bolts for the M/C.

(the brake lever, switch and other end of the brake line isn't actually attached at the moment in case anyone is wondering).

Lookin good now! Those rear-sets are quite tasty, especailly the carbon airducts!
Where'd you get the brake / clutch levers from as I re-hammered mine straight today as it was bent like a banana (musta been dropped on that side) and it was perfect, and I thought.. just a bit more *ding* and snapped it :/

Yeah they are rather nice, they were my birthday present to my wife last year. Really did need a heal guard for them though and the Tyga one looks spot on.
There are a few more bits to go too, ordered a carbon fibre tank shield to replace the terrible union jack one, then some bar weights with a carbon trim, ok so the carbon is a bit pointless there but they look nice and it is real carbon[1]! :D
