Re: REMADE BODY WORK

The Viet ones are now pressed and available in bare metal, they look excellent but can't comment on fit as I've not yet tried fitting any. I can only buy them in pairs so I only sell them in pairs.

Re: Cutting off a tyre

Use a bench vice to squeeze the tire away from the rim, wd40 for lube and tire spoons for the rest. Works every time.

Re: CDI

BGM stuff looks quality but often it is NOT. I've had 3 stators, 1 CDI and 3 LED rear lights fail. I don't buy their stuff anymore.

Iron liner specialist recommendations.

I'd like to put an iron liner in a knackered TS1 barrel. Can anyone recommend a company that can do this?

Thanks

Re: Conti Move 365 update please

I put a set on just before the Coast to coast and found them to be very good all round. But after the 750 mile round trip the rear was pretty well worn as you might expect. I don't seem to get more than about a thousand miles out of any rear tyre.
