the extras....

[theop]

So,

What I ve ordered from Honda:

heated Grips
hugger
centre stand
extra large tank pad

I will also be buying a set of Heli bars, a techmount Zumo stand and a taller screen - currently veerign towards the darker Givi one as the OE Honda "flap" has received mixed reviews (it is apparently terrible in the wet) and also looks quite unsightly imho.

On a final note here...

Early last year, someone here with a white bike painted his wheels white too at a specialist. The bike looked like a billion dollars. He 'd posted a pic and there was a thread on it, but cannot find it any longer.... If you read this, can you let me know where you did the wheels and how much it was?

Post 19 states he had it done by his dealer.

I think that was Rob.

I think that was Rob.
Sir is correct, however Dean also got his done at his dealers. I have replied to the theop after he messaged me but I will repeat here.

To get the wheels done I simply checked with my dealer who they used for spraying, as it happens it was someone known to me from other recommendations.

Here is another link with some better pictures, Dean also put some up which may help the OP.

Man ... I just realised looking back at the pictures just how sorted I had that bike (for me or course, personal touches etc :))

Rob :)

thanks Rob, I will ask around in London for the wheels.

For the moment I have just added a set of Heli bars to the extras menu, so the wheel job may have to wait a couple of months....

Just bought a Telferizer mount fo rthe Zumo....

Sent an email in the morning, Rob called me back later in the afternoon to say he is sending one through along with an invoice (£28+3.50pp). If I like it I then pay, if not I return item. What a legend. Loved the old fashioned way of doing business, the trust etc. Makes for a nice change in this Paypalled world we live in.:top:
