after my little run in with an undeceive triumph rider I'm pleased to say thanks to comphy for ordering my side cowl and decals my bike is all up together and looks very nice again...... ordered a hel rear calliper and calliper hanger at a fraction of a brembo calliper again thanks to comphy for helping me order the right parts and being so generous as to help me when they come that will be the rear upgrades finished with but I'm sure I will find something else to do.......
big big thank you comphysofa for helping me the way that you have as I would never have got my bike the way I have if it wasn't for the help and generosity that you have show me....... your a legend and a true friend thanks bud

And to be honest comphy has the brembo set-up on his bike,and he ordered my hel calliper for me and the feed back from him is worth a listen. But the price you save for virtually the same thing is about £200ish give or take.... So it was worth it....

I finally got this done today... What a total ball ake after bending what was a b*@ch to bend,a lot of fettling to much to be honest. But I made carbon plates both inside and outside to support it like a clamp for strength as it was just plastic to bolt to and all titanium bolts tomorrow I'm going to silicone it all in to stop water getting in...

All done I've black silicone all the way around and even around my rear light as well,my only tip is if you are going to silicone anything like this or like the carbon fiber side panels I would suggest using multiple zippy ties and join them together and not just one big one. just because you can tighten it in different areas for pressure points and put microfiber cloths under the ties to stop marks and keep water out.....

Thanks Rob,I just love doing stuff and stepping back and loving the results,it tested me a bit because I knew it could look and be better if I mest about with it.. no need for half of the fittings if I'm honest bad design but good quality....

Unfortunately that doesn't fit my bike. The caliper mount needs to accommodate the ABS sensor. I'll have to content myself with the stock rear brake. At least it saves me some money!

I'll remove it then as i think it may catch some people out way to pricey.... hopefully the one comphy has ordered is abs friendly if not we will report back with what we do and I'm sure he will post were to order and what we do I'm sure as he's good like that.....

Still here....in the garage today continuing the wiring...Munit mounted, RegRec is wired in, starter button now works and turns the engine over. Having a bite to eat and then back in to work out how to get the headlight working....at the moment ive no idea!
Clutch slave cylinder has gone on the car (toyota IQ) and the garage wants roughly a grand to do the job so, wednesday ill be attempting it myself....got a you tube video to follow...probably take the whole day to do it...wish me luck.
Oh yeah...every now and again i go look on ebay for the current price of zed's....is it me or are they holding their value quite well at the moment..?

good luck with the car baby steps my friend..... and i though that as well they just seam to have sat even my 2017 z1000r is still worth pretty much the same as when I bought it give or take as i payed 9,500 with 620 miles on it and i think I've seen them with 10,000+ for 9,500. and I've looked at the new 2023 z1000 and it feels as though there fazing it out as i don't see to many options like before you had green,white,oranges,grey,then the z1000r range but not now it seams its all about the butt ugly zh2 which i will never own as it would remind me of that face off the goonies every time i opened up the garage door i would be greeted with that downs thing for a bike..... no thanks i dont need power that much to look at that I'm good as i am thanks.....
