How do you BCR snd Sport owners get on when you get new tryres? Do you use ride in ride out places, and if so what sort of paddock stand do they use? I usually use FWR in south London but I had a centre stand last time I took it there. I don't want to fit a centre stand just to get new boots fitted. I guess they must have some form of generic stand for Ducatis, VFRs and Beemers etc?

I also have an Abba stand, and so does my tyre dealer, plus an assortment of fittings for different bikes(TST Tyres nr Warrington). I would have thought most ride in ride out places would have a similar setup, it's probably worth giving them a call first.

Hi Stevie,
Took them to the local bike shop in Dunfermline, Scott Murray Motorcylces. I always by tyres in a pair from BFM tyres down south (£150 pair delivered).
The bike shop did a very good job, not a scratch on the rims. Unlike the bike at the moment that hit head on with white van man (lots of scratchs).
Have you just got your 'S' or just found the site. I normally meet up with Ian53 at Kinross Service Station before heading over Glen Devon.

Andrew,
I've had my S for more than 5 years, but only just found the site.
It's completely stock, and I found the site while looking around the web for bits to improve it.

Good old hydraulic jack under a plank under the engine at Tekmotive...
At FWR I took the rear in myself (having used the above method)
