I have never seen the one made of soft rubber, interested to see what it looks like.

And since your rack has no place to hold the number plate, you may consider Thule or Rhino light board that velcro to your bike.

Had the tyre pressure monitor (TPM) go off over the weekend. Promptly pulled out my tyre pressure gauge and sure enough one tyre was down 55kpa (about 8psi I think) and the others only 5kpa. Sure enough I had a large screw in the centre of the tread which was leaking.

Being 2:30pm on a Sunday the only tyre centre open was Kmart Tyre & Auto (Parramatta). Fortunately they could repair the tyre for $31.50.

Upon collecting I noticed large scratches on the repaired wheel. After mentioning it to the mechanic, he stated he would check if their machine did the damage if I came back another time. I got this in writing an returned the following day.

Spoke to the same mechanic who stated they would replace the wheel and admitted that an apprentice stated he caused the damage. Still waiting to have the new wheel fitted, but should be done soon.

Happy with he customer service from Kmart and my 18" New York alloys will still be immaculate.

Good to see the TPMS doing a good job there, but why, oh why is so difficult to have something done properly these days, the 1st time around??? Seems like a less than 50% chance of it ever happening...

I can't complain at least they are fixing it. I wasn't expecting to get a satisfactory result.
