Its the brembos ivvgot on mine now I dint no if the red yellow or green pads were any less dusty as I could spend all weekend cleaning the crevices out on mine
 
Replaced osf brake flex hose, this proved a bit of a chore, coaxing separation of the rigid line from the flexi without damage, then bled brakes. While in the front wheel area replaced drop links with adjustable ones. Set to the length of standard links for now, and once i've time to fit the poly arb bushes will try a tweak up and down.
Body roll was massively reduced when i fitted the air bag assisters a few years ago, but there may be room for some fine tuning ?

Have you checked your rear shocks out
 
Gave her a quick wash, thought it would be wise to run a torque wrench around wheels (had new tyres fitted a few weeks ago) found 3 nuts not up to torque. Placed my first little order with @BMR looking forward to seeing his packing for myself.

So you checked your nuts and gave them a squeeze........
 
I know I shouldn't, but I have booked the first two winter checks for Ed just for the heck of it, then i'll book another for mid Jan just to get different opinions.

Hi Kenzie, no sogginess, rear end settles straight away, just the occasional flutter as the rear drifts out a touch, maybe a little too much throttle on exiting the bends.

Just thought I'd check dint know mibecwas that bad till I swapped them
 
Added gas struts (900n) from SGS. The difference in opening height is amazing. Not tested it with my bike rack on yet though.

Really impressed with the customer service from SGS and for £66 delivered would highly recommend.

Also tested my fuel lagoon thermal window covers. I’ll do anything to avoid watching ManU at the moment!!
