Thank you. I haven't seen it yet! The official story is that the publishers missed the cut off time at the wholesalers and therefore MCN was not distributed. In the midlands anyway.

I am expecting a copy in the post tomorrow. Seriously looking forward to it.

I will try and put up a couple of pictures in the Boxerpix section later.

Thank you, but I think that I would rather have the carbon fibre Spitfire!!

You,re probably right. But joking aside, that is one stunning bike.

Lovely bike. Where did you source the quick release fairing clips? Also do you know who produces a top quality stainless or titanium replacement bolt kit specifically for Hp2 sports?

Cheers

It's a great thing to have. Especially if your doing a fair few track days. I have learnt to modulate the clutch on downshifts when dropping a couple of gears fast. Your old 1200s may get treated to one if I can save enough dash. I have a few other plans for the engine first though.

I read the article and enjoyed it, really is a good colour scheme but somehow I think it will look much better "in the flesh". Quality

There appears to be some sort of sales cartel going on with Dzus fasteners. I found it impossible to buy them from factors etc. It is possible to buy them through Aprilia, Ducati or MV Agusta - they all use them.

In the end I got the clips from the fitting kits used on one of the S1000RR Carbon bellypans that we supply, and I got the retainers and little plastic washers from Moto Forza Italia at Silverstone who are dealers for all those bikes.

I don't have a definitive answer about S/S or Ti because you used the words 'top quality'! Pro Bolts spring to mind.

Triumph use Dzus fasteners on the earlier (T595) Daytona if its any help to anybody.

I'm intrigued - Is your 1200 an ex-Sandbar? I thought the only one was the humbug one?
