In preperation of potnetially selling the SP I've just ordered some replacement carbon sleeves for my bike.
The current pair are very faded and more importantly, on the LHS the bracket had become loose and allowed the sleeve to rub up against the swinging arm. Result of which is a nice 50p sized holes and 1 melted rear hugger and scorched swinging arm
The system is the lo-level, titanium race system and TBH, I was suspect of being able to find proper 'povic replacement parts considering it's age; however, a certain Norfolk based Kawasaki and Ducati dealer based a few miles outside of Norwich (I can't remember if we're allowed to mention names) can get a them! £318 inc VAT for 2 replacement 470mm sleeves, bands and rivets. Not bad and I was always planning to do it myself...it's not hard but then I had it confirmed that I'd do it myself when they quote £240 in labour to fit them for me!

Name names as much as you like mate. If it helps other owners, then I've got no problem with it at all

There are very few rules on here, but here are a couple of the important ones to recap:

1. By becoming a member, you automatically agree that the White SP2 is faster than the Red SP1. This is beyond contestation.
2. Don't take anything too seriously, life is too short

That's pretty much it

Cheers,

Jon.

The best forum rules ever Jon

CXey - Hmm, new sleeves and bands - are you sure you are selling the bike

Then it was Seastar Superbikes to let everyone know...and no, I'm still 100% convinced!

I use PJ engineering and they will supply carbon sleeves for Akros, however the Akro carbon is a dull finnish, these are glossy but at £75 a pair for standard 110mm x 450mm sleeves cant imagine the Akros size would be much more

A16 road and race who made new complete inlets for my exhausts ,top service.

Whoa, whoa WHOOOOOOOA!!!

(1) I didnt agree to these T&C's when I joined and beside, you emailed me to join your forum. read below.
Dear Bobba
I see you have a red SP1. Please join my forum as you are clearly AWESOME!

(2) It is FACT that red vehicles are ALWAYS faster and putting stickers on ANY bike will give between 5 and 10% power gain!! So red SP1's are best!
120bhp + 10% for being red = 132bhp + 10% for stickers = 145bhp!! + rim tape 5% = 152BHP

all measured at the crank Bobba but being as you fitted a final drive belt off an old Harley your back down to 118 BHP at the wheel

oh look how the green eyed monster has reared its angry head
I've had a look on the Performance Bike website about up coming reviews and read that the reason a girl was sent to test your bike was because it wasnt red so therefore.......... would not be very powerful and a girl could ride it!
It also mentioned that all the tuning work carried out made no improvements until a HRC carbon look sticker was added along with a number board!
Sorry Steve but the figures speak for themselves

hahahahaha!! Like I said, "This is beyond contestation" so it doesn't matter how many stickers you've got, you're on the less powerful of the two

One tip though, if you're going to make up a fake message from me, get the from address correct

Ooh, that reminds me, need to PM you about something... No, it's not about banning you
