Thank you. I haven't seen it yet! The official story is that the publishers missed the cut off time at the wholesalers and therefore MCN was not distributed. In the midlands anyway.
I am expecting a copy in the post tomorrow. Seriously looking forward to it.
I will try and put up a couple of pictures in the Boxerpix section later.

Lovely bike. Where did you source the quick release fairing clips? Also do you know who produces a top quality stainless or titanium replacement bolt kit specifically for Hp2 sports?
Cheers

It's a great thing to have. Especially if your doing a fair few track days. I have learnt to modulate the clutch on downshifts when dropping a couple of gears fast. Your old 1200s may get treated to one if I can save enough dash. I have a few other plans for the engine first though.

I read the article and enjoyed it, really is a good colour scheme but somehow I think it will look much better "in the flesh". Quality

There appears to be some sort of sales cartel going on with Dzus fasteners. I found it impossible to buy them from factors etc. It is possible to buy them through Aprilia, Ducati or MV Agusta - they all use them.
In the end I got the clips from the fitting kits used on one of the S1000RR Carbon bellypans that we supply, and I got the retainers and little plastic washers from Moto Forza Italia at Silverstone who are dealers for all those bikes.
I don't have a definitive answer about S/S or Ti because you used the words 'top quality'! Pro Bolts spring to mind.

Triumph use Dzus fasteners on the earlier (T595) Daytona if its any help to anybody.

I'm intrigued - Is your 1200 an ex-Sandbar? I thought the only one was the humbug one?
