Just bought a Shark Vision R for £180. Helmet City. It's superb.

I went for the T30 after weeks of indecision. If Ron Haslam's school has them, it was good enough for me. Excellent Tyre with exceptional dry grip at high lean angles. Lets be honest there all pretty good these days. The garage that fitted then swears by the Avon Storm. They are well priced...

Just bought a Shark Vision R and have to say it is superb! Great features including sun visor, and removeable insides. Hardly any noise and easy fast fit clip.

After researching all the brands you mention I went with the Bridgestone T30. There superb all rounders, Ive done about 1500 miles and seem to be holding up. They are especially good in the dry with extra grip at high lean angles. Previously I had standard fit Dunlops. I got 6000 miles out of...

Just spent yesterday fitting a full set of HEL SS lines. Must say they look good and are fairly easy to fit. Top tip, I used an industrial syringe on the bleeding nipple to fill the system back up again. Also once I Had filled the fronts and got the pistons full on, I then tapped the front...

Sorry ballmead I never got back to you, set as you posted and seems perfect for me. Big change especially with the front, comes up nicely after hard breaking. Just had new BT-T30s fitted and could not be happier. Rode from Altrincham to Matlock via the snake pass last week and it was heaven.

Nice bike with great paint job. Tell me more about the rear shock? What R1 shock fits the FZ1 year 2009?
