Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
I think that's a great price for what you get in the kit, was hard to fit? cheers for posting

Hot soapy water and a heat gun ????
i know through experience its very easy to get wrong
I had an Expel gloss kit fitted on my other Bike and it looks like glass and no minute bubbles or air underneath, not cheap though, even for the pro's its a long day...DINGDONG'S a master at it

Noooooo....it comes with a wee squirt bottle that has a drop of soap in it. Fill that with water plus another squirter (not supplied) with tap water for lubing the front side. Then it’s a matter of using the rubber squeegee to smooth the film into place while also using fingers to pull and move said film into place. It’s a bit daunting to start, but take your time and a good result can be achieved and you can remove and start again if you’re not happy with a particular piece. I’ve done one bike before the AT and obviously I’m no professional, but I’m very pleased with the finished product/job.

Question: How big a difference does the decat headers make ??
I had decats on my gs and thought they made a fair bit of difference.

I’ve a Ti Arrow full system with Hilltop re-map on my AT. It makes a noticable difference with the bike being much more punchy low down and really taking off @ 4K rpm. Fuel consumption is much the same too. I can’t imagine going back to the standard pipe and settings.
I won a full titanium Arrow system with the additional carbon heat-shield off eBag, it was a BARGIN, as New and totally unmarked and it's all nicely blued.
Just need to fit it now

I'm still contemplating whether to keep my F800gs or trade in and go for one of these. DCT is the main selling point for me
Been busy this week...Made a wiring harness for Nav V mount and Power Socket, I got the the original Sumitomo connectors to fit the switched supply behind the Headlamp, fitted the BMW GS LC lockable mount which i bought for £30 secondhand, its like it was made for the AT..Got a twin USB socket which was top quality Marine grade off Ebay for about £8 which fitted in the pre drilled hole perfect (even lights up same colour as the Dash, also fitted the Eastern Beaver PC8 and harness for more switched power which i used to power the Oxford Adventure Hotgrips, which for the money are brilliant ( £36 from Pidcocks! ) It was a bit fiddly getting all the panels off but i even managed it with my sausage fingers..I was very impressed with the quality of fit and finish of the panels

Just had word from Dobles that they will replace my wheels under warranty !! spokes festered in the first 500 miles never seen rain !! they will replace the complete wheel set with new wheels with stainless steel spokes this should be done by July !!
FFS 7 months to get a set of fekking wheels
FFS 7 months to get a set of fekking wheels
I had to wait two months for the back wheel they seem to be in short supply
Just spoken to my Honda dealer for an update, he checked the Honda dealer net and no updates on when Honda will start swopping out spokes or wheels, could do with knowing where Dobles are getting their info form ?
Next stop Hilltop.
