Ah yeah, that'd probably be a lot cheaper, normally multi bike policies are? Plus means you can use your no claims on the second bike as well.
What did you do to your bike today?

Haha, what did you do?
did you bleed the furthest brake caliper to your Master Cylinder first?
Could just be an air
I have adopted the technique of reverse bleeding the calipers, that is, push fluid up through the caliper using a large syringe into the Master Cylinder, saves a lot of time and hassle imo
As a last resort I always bleed from the top by caressing the lever never fails after all the above has been tried.

Before / after:
I may look at LED indicators at some point. What sort should I be looking at? Sportsbikeshop don't seem to sell R&G ones from the brief look I've just had. A link to an example would be good if possible.
No, not sure about the look / legality of them.
R&G, from Sportsbikeshop.
Yes always furthest away first, I repeated it a few times keeping the res topped up.
Just back from the dealership, had the tech check mine and he said come and see this. We then went round the showroom and pulled on some new bike levers (1299, Diavel, 959 etc) and mine is firmer than every bike except for the Panigale R which is the 30 grand track spec one.
So I guess what I have done with pads and fluid has helped a bit but due to the ABS system and brake hardware the only thing I could do to improve it is a Brembo RCS master cylinder and/or bypass the ABS.
I did a few fast to 20 ish hard on the brakes to really bed the new pads in, the Brembo SC ones are very nice compared to stock, just hope they don't eat my discs now!

Cheers, I've seen them on a Triple not that long ago, they looked sexy.
It was like a real life spoiler

Cheers wazza300, I was fighting with rear bobs for the paddock stand, I broke two allen keys... 1st went, I hammered a bit bigger one in and that went too. I used a aluminium pipe to put more pressure on it and nothing (even WD40 didn't help, usually every screw goes with it). 
I just left the stock silver ones, not that bothered.
That wrap came out good, have you done it before? I remember when I tried to wrap couple bits for my Raptor 250, it was a disaster

They'll be well stuck into the swing arm from all the road grime kicked up, give them a good soaking in plusgas everyday for a week or so then have another go.
That reminds me I could do with whipping mine off and rising out any salt that gotten stuck in there and copper slipping the bolts.
