At last I've got the proper sound to accompany my bike. Just fitted Wolf road legal cans with a removable insert to convert into a race can. Sounds brilliant even with the baffle in. Will remove baffle soon to try out the full sound.

I'd second your recommendation. Have used them for the last two years - my brother has been with then for three years with no problems.

Any of you chaps had experience with replacement road legal cans - the new Quill T3 exhausts or the Micron delta end cans (or others). I want to release some of the noise held back by the standard cans without creating any problems with the local plod. Also any suggestions for exhaust hangers as I ...

Bit late for me now but I would be interested in the recommendations for when I get the VTR back on the road - see the 'oh s**t' post.

The bike is only 12 months old, was serviced at 600 miles and ...

Thanks chaps

Had my storm about 6 months now. Do they usually run hot (ie the cooling fan comes on at this time of the year during a commute home, and the temp gauge reads over 50%) or is there a potential problem with mine? All systems seem to be operating correctly.

Jim

Thanks for the advice.

Advice please. Have owned my 2001 VTR (origional model) for about 8 weeks now and getting used to the feel of a new bike. The only problems so far are its tendancy to run wide on corners. Any suggestions for suspension settings for a 14 stone chap. The bike is currently on standard settings and ...
