Nice Brian - I'm looking forward to seeing the bike next week - and you of course!

Are you on the Versyc owners forum too?

I rang 'Hel Performance' today and thanked them for organising and sorting me out with a new rear braided hose for my V-Strom DL1000 as the standard one I bought quite a while ago is 25" (inches), way too long, and twists and curls outta shape when fitted on the V-Strom.

The one I was recently sent is now fitted, it's 15" (inches) length and fits like a glove with a few inches spare for give and take for chain adjustment/luggage/pillion etc...

Result.

Thank you 'Hel Performance', top guys....!!!!

spent 1 hour removing all the plastic to replace the sidelight bulbs with some cree led ones then could not remember where I had put the new bulbs so spent an hour putting the plastic back. This is what you do as you get older

These are sintered, not sure of what double HH means. So far so good! They grip very well as soon after fitted, better than the Kyoto my mechanic put previously! They still bedding so squeaking a bit, nothing that a bit of coper grease on the callipers doesn't fix. Here's the link where I bought them:
