Re: Fuel Consumption

Do you lot get 80-120 miles PER TANK (ie. until it stops) or until the light comes on? The previous owner (who I truly believe...

There's a small split on the inside of one of the cans, I'd guess the donor bike had been gently dropped and the can squashed against the swinging arm. The actual carbon fibre app...

Storm/SP1/SP2 end cans

First Firestorm

Evening all. Just bought my first VTR1000. It's a 99', 19K miles, standard apart from a hugger and crash bungs. I'm going to put some 'more interesting' cans on it, and change the CCTs. So I've signed up to this forum, as I know you lot will be a fountain of knowledge! Cheers, Paul. (bobthetrain)
