Bit of pointless bling for the ol Griso.
Had this specially made by a local engineer. Only thing is, it's loose fitted at the moment because I knackered the silent block bush getting it out of the old torque arm. I'm off the road for a few days till a new one arrives, Still, I reckon it looks great

looks better than standard part on mine which is already starting to show spots of rust through the thin paint - if you dont mind asking - how much?

£120 Happy to give his number via PM. One word of advice. Leave your original silent block bush in the old torque arm and buy a new one for the replacement. They're only about £14, and it saves the nightmare of getting the old one out, and if you do cock up getting it in, you won't be off the road, like I am now. |

Looks great! I'm thinking of getting a Rossopuro one in red, myself.

I wanted one of those but have you tried getting hold of one. The shop link on the Rossopuro site doesn't work, and hasn't worked for weeks. I've emailed them a few times to tell them, and said I want to buy items from them, and they haven't replied. Hope you have better luck

Well I got a new silent block bush from Stein - Dinse.
Great service, but the funny thing is that the bush is not much more than the size of a thumb thimble, but arrived in a box the size of a shoe box Took it to my local mechanic to fit, which he did in a few minutes foc. If you ever decide to remove, replace the silent block in your torque arm, unless you have the proper equipment, this really is a job for a professional. Also, the new block itself is of a completely different design to the one I removed, but no noticeable difference when riding. |

Got the arm, pushed the silent block out of old arm in five mins, stuck the new arm under the grill for twenty mins, five mins hammwring on a suitable socket head got the bush into new arm.
Took way longer to take of the metal side panel than to do rest. Looks great compoared to old one (two year old) which was starting to show rust |
