Heavy really!? I thought GRP was lightweight?

How much do they roughly weigh?

when do you set off on your expedition decalwizard ? everything looks looks great that you have done too..


just fitted a Full stainless exhaust system to mine from the cat, back :) sounds like a race bike :woohoo:

lifetime guarantee £340, which i think is well well worth as the normal paper thin ones are £110 and sap performance..

Cheers for the extra pic Steve
I've saved the pic of the awning (you sent) on my phone just in case they need it at MCB I'm thinking that as I want a rail all the way round that if two uprights from the rack to the rail were quite wide, then these could be used to mount the awning directly on to without the need fro brackets.
I was due to go see them today, but I had problems getting through on the phone, so I'm hoping I can go and see them on Wednesday afternoon. Fingers crossed!

Its not while next year buddy, I got to do the following things first

1.. Fit new Heavy Duty Clutch
2.. Fit ORA underneath armoury
3.. Fit lift kit
4.. Fit the winch and ORA winch bracket
5.. Get a passport :laugh:

This year and early next year will be the testing, we have tried all conditions to see how it worked out, from really warm summer days and nights to bloody cold October nights..

Everything has had to be sourced for minimum cargo hogging space, even down to the toilet which was over £100

@Steve
Well I managed to go see MCB yesterday afternoon for a measure up and chat about what I wanted.
Matt and Liam are both thoroughly nice chaps.
Blimey, I wasn't expecting the dirt road up to the farm :-/ I'm not surprised that they don't bake sports car racks ;-)
So just to wait for the basket to be made and then over for the feet fitting and powder coating :-))
Can't wait!
Oh yes, thanks for emailing Matt about the job/awning etc.
