Knox make very good kit. I have a couple of pairs of their armoured jeans, a vented jacket and a couple of pairs of gloves. Nice fit, well made and quality D30 armour.

VFR800ABS -2005-6 gen brake lines change & brake caliper overhaul
Skids replied to Lucca's topic in Maintenance Questions
I changed my 08 brake lines for Galfer braided and I really liked the end result. Combined with a caliper overhaul, it will ensure your life-saving braking system is operating to near maximum. Changed out my 01 lines too, excellent results. Do it -

As soon as I am able to release the 46mm nut on the hub, I shall do that. Good tip re moving carrier the opposite way first.

Hi m8, no. I tried. I managed to get a lever arm approx 1.5metres long with the 46mm socket on the end.....and it wouldn't budge!

What he said.

Thanks m8. I do still have to hammer it to adjust the chain.

We don't post cos they don't break. 😜

Yes, and I've always done that previously, even though not actually specified in the SM, but as they always gradually seize up, I wondered if lubricating would reduce or prevent this.
