  • What's the hivemind on replacing steel caliper and banjo bolts for titanium? Pointless chintz or something you'd actually want on your own bike? Parked the idea of upgrading the RSV for now so wondering what I can waste my money on.

  • Spend it on fishing tackle.

  • Tuition?
    Not a jibe at you coming off, but I think it's the place I'd spend money.

  • Ti can corrode when straight into some alloys or steel, can't remember which.

    With brakes I tend to use whatever was original, have had a not goodridge 'braided' hose kit the banjo supplied with alloy (only really suitable for mtb!), and the bolts also alloy, impossible to tighten up to torque without it stretching out.
    Normally I think they are steel with a coating.

  • Pointless chintz. You've already made the best upgrade to Lithium Ion batteries in terms of weight saving. I love mine. Have you seen the pictures of them on fire?

  • If they're good quality stainless don't change to Ti. If they're not, then change for good quality Ti.

    What about a shorter and lighter exhaust?

    Personally I like the big RSV exhaust, but it would drop some weight.
