Thanks guys. Very useful, I'm definatley going to try this.

My bike already has reduced gearing and its much more practical on the road.

Hi Benny

I noticed a mention of the flapper being removed on one of the PS III programmes. What is it? and how do I remove it?
I presume its there to regulate the ram-air effect?

Just fitted a Power Commander III USB to my ancient SP1. Just wanted to be sure the fueling was right rather than improve performance. Loaded the program I thought was closest to my setup and took it for a test ride. Well it must have been way off 'cus its now going like a train. Bloody brilliant :D...

Hi I've had both. The Firestorm was my first bike for 30 odd years and it was just the job to get back into bikes. I've had two SP1s and quite honestly I think the SP is the better tool. I was put off for ages by stories about the SP being really uncomfortable. What I found was that its actually (fo...

Hi Mike

Only just seen your original post - not been around much lately.
Pity you had to part with the red'un. That was a real work of art.

Glad to see the yellow one is coming along nicely.

Bought my SP1 a few months ago. It was a track bike and has been dropped on RHS. Decided not to buy new plastics and set to work with soldering iron and plastic coat hanger. The result is a serviceable, but not too pretty close up. Since I'm only insured third party and there's a fair chance of me d...

Hilarious, but sadly true.

I'm also with e-bike. They can be annoying and inflexible at times and some of their marketing stuff is misleading. However I did make a claim on them when I wrote off my last SP1 and they were pretty good, paying me what I bought the bike for a couple of years previous. Its also a pain in the aris ...

That looked like a lot of fun!
Impressive braking.
Like the music.

"The Procedure" is the funniest bit. Worth the time to read.

That is just the most brilliant f***ing thing I've read in years.

Brilliant.
That'd probably get you 30yrs in the UK.

Thats one of the funniest things I've read in ages!

Finally got my SP-1 on the road. Bought it in November as a track bike. Fitted a few bits: indicators, lights etc. and it passed the MOT today.
So, I now have a VTR on the road for the first time in about 2 years.

Very nice but (even if i could afford it) I wouldn't want to use it, not just because I might wreck it, but also just using it would reduce the value. On the other hand I bought mine for £1800 as an ex track bike with scrapes/cracks in the fairing. I'm just going to patch it up, so that way I won't...
