I have managed to squeeze the grip puppies in though and back off the suspension a bit so I’ll see what that’s all like tomorrow. Would have liked to have done the pegs as well mind. I’ve also ordered a C spanner to jack it up a bit after the lowered pegs are on. | |

| I have used a blade screwdriver - from memory, that circlip on the V11, the Brevada, Nevada & V7 were not actually on tightly - just slid off & on. | |

Yeah, I’m normally pretty handy getting circlips off with screwdrivers and thought but these aren’t having any of it unfortunately. They’re tight. | |

| I've used suitable sized self-tapping screws to provide leverage on circlips when I've been desperate. It's fiddley, depending on how much room is available. Also used a couple of scribes too. | |
