Thanks to Fiasco's Roundandblack Ebay recommendation: Pair of Diablo Sports delivered today, £156.95 all-in. Diablos are much easier to fit than BT45's  . Home at 6:10pm, unwrapped the tyres, had a cup of tea & filed the invoice with my Fazer paperwork. Cut up an old plastic bottle to provide rim protectors - the rear was fitted & inflated (to the already-loose wheel) before 7:00pm. It seated/beaded so easily - pumped up using just my foot pump. Doddle. No special tools, rigs, etc - just two tyre levers. One of yours? ;D Neil |

Your da man  I have just got 2 sets of tourances, for the Gs1150, and they cost £90 a set, and the last set lasted 11000 miles  Does that equate to 8,000 miles on the other two bikes in the HRH stable, and 3,000 on the Gs? Trev No, thats 11000 miles on the Gs, they were last replaced at 15,340 miles and were replaced at 26,490miles, I have a trial attack on the rear, wonder how long that will last, then back onto Tourance , wonder if I should fit one to the divvie 900 |

Thanks for the kind offer your maj, but I may have to decline, but that's only because at the same time as having the rear wheel out I'll be replacing the swingarm - the spare has gone off to the powder coaters, you'll see it next week However.... I'll come up anyway - but on the TDM, so we can go mountain climbing ;D |
