They did me fine. Fortunately I never crashed the bike whilst wearing them. That might have been a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a success, or are you frantically arranging buckets and bowls under the drips coming through the dining room ceiling whilst your wife watches from the sofa and tells the kids that she's married to a total bellend who has the IQ of a really stupid donkey?

All went well, although more by luck than judgment, I had put half dozen screws in before I even thought about pipes, having enough fittings to repair half the street is always a good back-up, only issue I had was radiator not working in porch, I should have looked at instructions. It's a decorative tube one with a baffle and only works with flow the right way, it wasn't so had to spin it round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
