    I liked them, got nearly 7,000 miles out of a pair which were almost to the wear markers on the front when I replaced them. Strangely, there was a little more tread left at the back. I'd have had another set but they were quite difficult to get hold of for some reason so I went back to the equally good Metzeler Roadtec.

    Not as impressive as some but not bad for 9 years from new.

    Haven't posted for a while but I thought it was time I put up the latest pics of mine. had it from new in October 2014, now just about to reach 69,700 miles. Looks and runs as good as ever.

    Just rode it some more, 51,500 and counting...

    Not today but Sunday - rode it (in the rain!) to the the famous Ace Cafe in North London for the Honda Owner's Club UK's 60th Anniversary Honda Day. Quite a few bikes there of all sizes and ages from Cubs to Gold Wings. Mine not looking bad for 50,000 miles plus.

    My rear rotor is fine but I've already repainted the front one a couple of times, nothing seems to last, so I'm going to do the same as I've done with the rear heat shield. I've bought a second-hand one from a broken bike on eBay, will strip, rust proof and respray. The finish on the shield which has lasted best is brake caliper paint so I'm going to give that a try on the front rotor as well.

    If you mean this one, these were made by NZCam in Australia but I don't believe he's doing any more production runs now he's sold out. The reflector was simply a piece of reflective tape with the VFR overprint but after a couple of years on mine water had got behind it and it peeled off so I've had to replace it with a 'normal' reflector anyway, I got a 1cmx10cm one on ebay.

    Misty Sunday morning.

    Rode it to the picturesque village of Finchingfield, well known to bikers in the East of England, with the Honda Owners Club Essex Branch in the Sunday sun! Photo by Toni Teuntje Harris

    Well it certainly feels like glass to me! I too have spent £20 on protectors, on the sites I've seen in UK they're over £1200 for the unit and it would only take one stone...

    The only difference I found is that the seat is slightly lower and narrower at the front, even on the higher setting, and the pegs are exactly the same so your knees have to bend a little more.

    Can't say I've noticed mine rattling but your picture of the cowl underside above has made me realise I've lost the front two rubber things (no.6 on the parts diagram)!
