Good thinking with the compression adjuster mate. How is it attached? I may move mine there as well. Can you loosen the hose bolt to turn the reservoir without loosing any gas?

I also like the rearsets, are they Gilles jobbies? As I'm 6'2" I find my legs are a little cramped on the Bird on a long ride. How much adjustment can you get from them?

4 slots cut in the panel to thread the jubilee clips though best done with a hot scalple for a neat job although you can't see em when the res is fitted in place
yes just crack the bolt a smidge the pipe can then be turned

I'm 5'9'' and have always found the origanal footrests pretty comfortable but with the gilles I've set them further back and lower which has stopped aching knees on long rides
gear changes are slicker with just a gentle prod on the lever to slot them home
but the main reason I fitted them is the looks

but the main reason I fitted them is 'cause i'm a tarts handbag

Lovely job

NewBlu,
May I enquire as to the make of Wavey discs you have?

I know Stealth were doing all three for a good deal, my 47K BLUE bird is in need of new fronts.

Cheers

The disc's are Braking Waves and are superb bought from 1200 Pete
I had a set of stealths on my last but one bird good price from trade direct but I was never happy with them they would judder like fook when braking hard at speeds of a 100 plus
Pay a bit more for a good set like mine or galfa which a m8 of mine with a zx12r has he rates them
