Abba stands have various discount codes on their website today, got 15% off the front lift arm.
Thanks for that, I need a front lift arm. Nearly bought one at the NEC but the bloke on their stand was so disinterested and unhelpful I just thought "sod it, I can't be bothered!"

O dear, I've cut the wire and it is one wire with an outer wire a bit like a coaxial ? I am no electrician so what does the outer wire do?

I have my superseal connectors so i will make the step and cut the wire to the Sat Nav and probably screw it up.

I also got the telfrizer Ram mount for the headstock which was £35! But it is impressive and very easy to fit. It fits so well you could lift the bike up on it!
I'll wait till you've done yours hehe

Not got mine yet, its only a power and ground so shouldn't be too hard to fk up.
fitted mine this week. Used the original power lead and connected up to battery. Removed bodywork to fit properly. Even the mount worked on my handlebars!

Looks good, I fitted mine to the R1 ages ago but I've no intention of testing it just yet as its too bloody cold.

according to J&S they're carbon. according to Sharp they are composite fibre. I'd go with composite personally.

Yeah thanks chaps. I will return it and get a carbon one, I think you're right. I tried to check previously but didn't see the sharp site, and even the manufacturers own website is ste. Will update once I get it sorted. Annoyed now furious

It's in dispatch; I can only assume it is being hand delivered on foot from China.

Soon they'll arrive and I'll prove you guys wrong!

I picked up some Ammo wheel cleaner last week. I'd never heard of the stuff before, but at £7 delivered it was worth a punt. Got it from here:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252786975957

I gave it a go yesterday and it worked a treat. My rear wheel was caked in the ste that just doesn't come off with normal shampoo. 30 seconds of this stuff and a scrub with a brush, it was good as new.

The only downside is it stinks of piss.

Did any one no about the CMC 60% sale? I think it was across the whole dealer network, me and a friend walked into the last of the bargains today as it apparently started at the end of feb rolleyes .

Normally I see these sales as over priced tat in the 1st place or stuff I have never heard of or really odd sizes that no body wonts but holy st I wish I had known about it from the start.

My mate got a dainese jacket reduced from £559 for £219 and I picked these up, I don't actually need new boots but at that price eek

I tried several times to get the last pair of knox Handroid gloves to fit me reduced from £199 to £80 but they where to tight. I will stick with my old pair of knox rolleyes
