    If you only fit one accessory.....

    ...I suggest you go for wider pegs. See picture - original on the left. I've just fitted IMS pegs which Jim Rowley (on this site) sent me from the US. Mine cost $105 which is about £61. They are almos twice the width of the originals and VERY grippy. Took me about 15 minutes to fit, but only because I had trouble getting one of the split pins back in.



    Chad will agree with me that they are the absolute dog's danglies. The improved control you get when standing on the pegs are phenomenal. I only wish I got them in time for the Salisbury trip (Jim had trouble getting them from the dealer). Did immediately go test them of course and I was absolutely flying, even getting airborne on numerous occasions. Top piece of kit and top bloke (Jim) for sending them. Thanks Jim!!

    Only problem is that my bike is now dirty again

    Thanks Chad, looks like I won't need to remove that bolt to fit the new chain slider - only the rear wheel and the swingarm. It'll have to come out at some stage though, but I'll sort the slider out first. Will have a go at that hopefully this week/weekend.

    Crash bars - no doubt.

    Or maybe that is compulsory - and do not count as accessory
