They sent you the wrong ones?

 

[Captain]

I wouldn't know until I try fit them, install instructions all say for street triple.

 

[Kreeeee]

I'm only pulling your leg

Oooh that's cruel! He's been waiting for them for how long!?

They look nice clovis, get them baffles out as soon as they're on

Had me wondering then if I'd been sent the wrong ones haha

They took 8 days to arrive, can't believe some adverts were stating April/May delivery date! They are going on this weekend.

get them de-badged, some micky mouse logo on them

 

[Captain]

I've got some akro stickers to go over the top lol.

 

[TallPaul_S]

Was that direct from italy? That's not bad considering they probably spent 2-3 days in the UK.

They look nice once on the bike.

Yeah it was, according to the tracking they didn't hit the UK until Sunday night and were prepared for delivery Monday night.

Is that a new design sticker? I remember one with some yellow in it which looked far worse

That old design was the sticker I was expecting as well and was my basis for burning the bike before letting a Leo Vince can anywhere near it, that one is actually alright.

Would you rebalance a wheel after changing a brake disc? Specifically a OEM disc to an aftermarket part.

Take it for a ride and see

There is definitely something unbalanced in my back end () but sticking it up on the abba stand and running it in 1st doesn't seem to show any wobble, I've checked everything else is tight and not moving when it shouldn't be. The only other thing I can think of now is the brake disc I replaced.

Nope

Maybe it just needs plain tyre rebalancing?

Your new disk could be warped somehow I guess

When do you notice the wobble? Is it a consistent 'bounce' or vibrations or something else?

My old disc was warped and it was very obvious when running it on the stand the back end kicked and you could hear the pads hitting the high points on the disc if you spun it, at the minute it seems perfectly fine until I get on it.
I'm beginning to think it may just be in my head now that I'm expecting it so I feel it!

It's not a vibration it does feel like I suppose you'd expect it to feel if your axle nut was loose allowing the wheel to tip from side to side if that makes sense, I feel it when I'm rolling from a standstill almost as if it's making the bike weave but then it doesn't get worse at speed in fact the only time I really seem to notice it is slow speed stuff or when I'm mid corner so again slowish speeds it seems to kick just enough to put me off the corner.

Yeah, they're a metal plate rather than a sticker now and look far better than the tacky massive day-glo yellow monstrosity they used to have.
