Well picked the kitten up today, a quick blast down the road and lightly applying the front brakes confirms they are not fixed!

Anything above 40 MPH, just enough pressure on the front brakes to feel that they are starting to grab the rotor.


And...


It instantly feels like the road surface becomes very rough and the windscreen starts to shake and shimmy...


Beside them not fixing the brake shimmy shake, I now have a collection of oily hand prints on the forks, front fender and the exhaust heat shields and both muffler bodies.


I can't wait for the survey e-mail...
