@Bluestoesonnose Welcome to the world of modifying. It's simple really, own a standard car or bike and enjoy it's stock performance.

OR

Modify it and eventually after much expense, get even greater pleasure out of your bespoke pride and joy!!!

@stobbsie So long as they fit they would be OK. The shape of the bolt through end is the important bit, if they are close to the OEM ones and may or may not require a bit of modding to fit then they would be just fine. If not then you've not lost too much money.

@stobbsie You can get these top quality replacements of ebay, which are as cheap as chips;

@Calum There's nothing wrong with any of that dude, there seem's to be a stigma attached to living with your parents these day's. There's nothing wrong with it at all, just society being the usual PITA. I moved out when I was 21 and bought my own house and GEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZ that was wayyyyyyyy back in 1989 - DAMN old git me. But hey I now live mortgage free so I guess it has it's bonuses???

@Calum Oh my bad, I did not know that you are in rented accommodation. Hopefully you'll find a more biker friendly pad???

@Calum Why would they request that, has some asshole complained about it/you???

@Calum OOOHHHH have you been a naughty boy then?

@Calum You should take her out a few times over the next 6-7 months when the weather is good and break her in properly, so come next spring she'll be raring to go for max RPM.

@Calum Video or it didn't happen!!!

How did she pull or are you just being gentle with her ATM???

@Louis-James Looks good - Which size piston is that dude???
