Yes!

Shaun (Spm23) sold them to me - he wanted to change to Rizoma

Who's a lucky girl.....you are that who!

Actually jealous - still it would have been a shame I'd have only sent them of to be anodised black......

I think you you are OK with older bikes (06 or before) or with different de-cat pipes so it will look great on jimmy's bike.
I really wanted a bellypan, but do not think there is any way it will fit.

Very nice and with the 'rarity' factor too! I have to say I'm still very happy with my own Rizomas however.

They are lovely moley, and do look good on a black bike.

But I am very pleased Shaun didn't want his Cyclecat ones.

Moley - I've just ordered those - do they come with a brake light switch???? and did you fit them yourself - were they easy???

sorry for the slight thread hijack here............

I had them fitted by J.H.P. when she was serviced as I didn't fancy taking out an engine bolt myself. I believe they still use the original switch on the reservoir but I could be totally wrong. Rear brake definitely operates a brake light though so shouldn't be a big problem for you. Let me know if you want me to have a look later and drop you a PM about it.

I'm now considering just buying an S4R, figured that I might as well since I'll be spending the money anyway!!!!

may trade in the S2R and upgrade

[singletrack]

If you are happy with the radiator you may be as well trading the S2R in for an S4R(S). I wouldn't want or need the extra power, but you do seem to get more bling for your money.

yes the S4R S is gorgeous, its the power that actually scares me, its only been 2 months since I wrote off my Buell City X and that really shook me up.

Basically I've got about 3K + the SR2 to spend on either making my existing bike amazing or upgrading. We'll see,

Was wondering what a 2005 SR2 800 completely stock, 5K on the clock, regular approved servicing, bike in top condition, no probs with it at all, just had a C service ........... was worth

My father bought almost exactly that spec S2R last Sept for £3750 (from a main dealer), recently offered it to me for £3k, but I bought the dealers S4RS demo bike instead.
