Managed to locate a couple of Stainless Nuts of eBay, they're originaly listed as for a Moto Guzzi 1000 and the come with a washer rather than a Flanged Nut. I also located a place in the USA that had Titanium Flanged Nuts for approx £33 a pair (inc p+p) here: Titanium Nuts

The only times I've lost grip was a slide I had was on a diesel slick just after an exit off of a roundabout (think torrey canyon proportions, younger readers might like to google that one) .... Opened the throttle and the wheel just started spinning, that's great fun at 70ish AND at acute angle runs over some of the really thick white lines over...

always got on with Avon Azzaro's myself, on the 750 monnie - and now the sport, as they are making them for 16" rims - higher profile than the originals though which makes for interesting handling, but on the whole no complaints for handling, wet or dry, or longevity pete
