    Tyres - Michelin Road 5’s , front and rear

    Chain+Sprocket kit - Relatively heavy duty D.I.D. kit

    Why don't you buy them yourself and ask someone how much to fit them?

    Road 5s are 300 a set online and 45 fitted (on the bike). I've been through 2 sets now, first set wore well, 2nd set haven't lasted quite as well and the front is going before the rear. I'm trying a different tyre next time.

    Cheers Zubair, C&S is a further 250 based on the quote I got from the dealer

    Ye, 200+ is about right. In my experience buying a C&S online and then getting it fitted didn't save much. But you can save 50 or more on tyres if you shop around. Road 5s are over priced in my opinion, I wouldn't use them on the front again as they're near the TWI at one spot but the rear is wearing as expected with plenty left. Angel GTs and metz roadtec 01s are almost 50 less online for a set without any discounts or offers etc.
