If I am ever on life support - Unplug me......
Then plug me back in..........
See if that works .....

Re: what started at just tyres !!!!
What brand are those head covers, Rich?
Mine are very similar but I ended up having to fit the alloy cup washers under them rather than the far better option of on top. This was due to the sound of cracking and splintering carbon fibre as the bolts approached the desired tightening torque (which ain't high) - seems the moulding is a bit of a tight fit for the contact area of the cup washers and rubber inserts. The result is that it doesn't look as tidy and the covers stand off a few mil - the depth of the washers. Yours appear to be fitted as intended and look pretty good. Though, if you haven't sussed it already, it's a PITA having to slacken the head cover bolts every time to allow access to the main stick coils and spark plugs
Cheers.

Can you post a pic of your head covers - I had the same problem as you and in the end fitted Ilmberger covers (which weren't exactly the best fit either) but my mate is going to try and fit them to an RT. Would be good to see how they look

Re: what started at just tyres !!!!
hello guys
apologies for replying sooner
the head covers are from the states Gsr carbon around £200 ish with taxes
they are a good fit however patience was key as had to Dremel the backs to get a snug fit and there are some pretty thin spots also there on now as when you remove they have left there mark in the silver heads which will need to be painted if I ever went off them
will post some new pics as front end apart again front ohlins has sprung a leak unfortunately
regards rich
