Cheers Wayne.

Look forward to recieving them. I'm now on the home stretch of winter refurbishment. Newly painted wheels were collected yesterday and the Diablos fitted (with Dyna Beads) and the fairing & mudguard are ready to collect today. Should be a busy weekend especially if the pins turn up

However I'm amazed that so many people can't shorten one little pin themselves

I'm going to make a pigs ear of shortening mine and be forced to order another set

How much needs to come off????

Pass the hacksaw and get the kettle on!!

Is why I took the lazy option!

I shortened them on a lathe so nice and easy here :)

I took about 6mm off the bottom, this seems to fit mine, I hope it'll fit everyone elses too.

Some of you will notice you have slightly different lengths of thread on yours, I started making them with one length of thread, I tried it on the bike and they didn't leave much margin for error (they fit though) so I then switched to a longer thread length. It won't affect the functionality, but it makes it easier for me to make.

If any of you get a problem with the lengths give me a shout so I can fix it if you don't or at least change future ones.

Ok, the below peoples pins went out at lunchtime

Falco09 - 2 sets all full length
mangocrazy - 1 set, 1 pin shortened
olig - 1 set, 1 pin shortened
aladinsane - 2 sets, 1 pin shortened
cornishmafia - 2 sets, 1 pin shortened

The below peoples will hopefully go out after work if I can catch the post office, otherwise they'll be going on Monday.

rick - 2 sets, 1 pin shortened
dusty - 2 sets, 1 pin shortened
sl1000_dk - 2 sets, 1 pin shortened
viking - 1 set full length
Falcoholis - 1 set 1 pin shortened

I have now run out of pins so please do not make any more paypal payments.

I shall be making another batch this weekend / next week so will be listing them on e-bay (some of you already saw the listing on there from last week). These are £11 a set delivered so still a bargain, plus I make a few quid extra (I didn't think it'd be this much trouble keeping track of who wants what)

Just to let you know the bottom 5 on the list went today too. All uk ones have been sent recorded first class so hopefully you'll get them in the morning
