Hi Tom,
Is that a Titax front brake lever? Did you get from Jap4 and what do you think? Good quality?
Dave.

Thanks for the comments chaps, and no Dave they were some cheap ones off ebay! Got them for £40 delivered i think they were. I know people dont like knock-offs but they're suprisingly not bad!
As for the paint and decals, were decided to go for a pearl white (suzuki colour, they have it on their swift sport) and rev'it decals, not everyones choice but i just loves white and black at the minute...
What are the best spark plugs for our bikes? I want to change mine..

NGK ER9's are the ones mate. Although they are about £12 each so hardly cheap. Still, what in life is if it's an essential!
Dave.

Oooooo, NGK are pants plugs!
I only use Denso - i have had nothing but problems over the years using NGK's.
Even down to a little CG125 i had, it lunched 3 NGK plugs in 3 days, i fitted a Denso, no more problems.
The last set of NGK's i had in my NC30, lasted 1000 miles before they were knackered - tried gapping them, cleaning them, nothing.
Fitted Denso's, 2500 miles later, no problems!
You can get new Denso's @ mcspares.co.uk for £7.50 each - Y27FERC-C

They are the best. Simple!
I've had nothing but great results with them. I got 30,000 trouble free km's from a set in a road nc30.
Don't blame the plugs for your troubles, running crazy rich, flooding them or abusing them in other ways will kill any 8mm plugs quickly!
And race plugs? Forget any other brand, NGK are miles ahead....

This came through the post today, postman got me out of bed, had a quick look at the install guide.....

Looks a bit complicated to say the least! If there's anyone fitted one of these...HELP! Were gonna have a look at it tonight so hopefully we'll sort it.
