Meanwhile ... nine years later, 128,000 miles, one set of (front) disc pads and numerous sets of head bearings, all going strong here too
Enjoy .... you have a great 'bike there
You must wear through a shit load of pairs of boots if you never use your brakes Micky - Flintstone style!!

Dunno
Poorer quality, poor design maybe?
Current set now at about 20,000 miles and still going strong, these are Koyo and were set up by feel alone, no torque wrenches or settings used
Next time mine need doing can I come and see you?
