Adding driving lights probably WILL cause this. The key question Stephen, is - did you wire them up through a new relay, which should be on a separate circuit from the stock headlight wiring? If you haven't done that, you will need to do so. Simply fitting a higher amp fuse will probably cause you a bigger problem - like burnt wiring and/or connectors and/or switches.

Had my 12k service last week at Kelens, Penrith. Asked them to look at the front rotors and consider replacing same under warranty as I was experiencing the same shudder as everyone else. They insisted on replacing the front tyre first ( I had it booked in elsewhere for one later in the week). But even after replacing the tyre they conceded that there was definitely a problem... I think it helped...

cheers! as soon as I can get hold of the PC V I'll get into it!

It's a good price Tas, I just got the rear tyre replaced with a PR2. I took the rim into the shop and saved some time on fitting, still cost $330. Front tyre will cost me $205 when I get it done next week. Pete.

There was a thread not long ago about raising the mirrors http://gtr1000.yuku.com/topic/4340 Also a thread on FarRiders forum you could follow up http://farriders.com/forum/index.php?topic=936.0

I have the Staintune on mine with the restrictor removed. Looks great, sounds awesome, better acceleration, especially in OD at 100KMH+ - pulls away like a big motor should. Nice rumble when decelerating.

G'day Nev I ne'er really thought 'bout changing the mirrors - although with the panniers on I do sometimes notice the obstructed view! (My 'ol ride had mirrors I fitted myself and they did have some vibration issues - at least the 14's mirrors are nice and stable). But I looked at a couple of the photos from onboard and they do a good job - kinda looks strange from the front to me though....
