Re: Tank slapper when i take my hands off the bars

Good shout amc.. Didnt think of that! Will check this too.

Re: top box balancing, having rode as a courier on the storm and all sorts of bikes never seen the box causing a tank slapper. However badly loaded paniers deffo make an impact.

Re: Tank slapper when i take my hands off the bars

Hey All,

Thanks for all the help and advice, will reset front end and check bits youve mentioned this week. Have to admit it happens only around 50% of the time so redialling the suspension does make total sense.

I repeated this to check its not the road surface and sure enough it started wobbling away again. Anybody any ideas w...

Re: Trail Braking

Late braking is essentially braking, then cornering, then hitting the throttle in separete stages... Trail braking is where you more or less squeese the brakes until you hit the throttle...

Very well thanks Kev, so much so I've not had time to ride (literally). Feels great to be back on the road, and even better as it stops the cabin fever from being self employed.

So happy so many old faces (and new) are around :)

Re: And I'm back... for the 4th time

Watcha Squiffy ! Bar end weights should fit L or R so any one will do you. I've got a pair of chav stylie chrome ones you can have if you want them. They don't fit as the standard ones do, you will have to push the inner weight down the bar a bit to fit them. But you can't complain really being fre...

And I'm back... for the 4th time

Hey All, Some of you might remember me from back in the day, I've just picked up my fourth firestorm after the last one was ruined by vandals. Super happy. 2000 model, FSH, 24k, Renegade cans and in (fastest) red :) If anybody has a LHS bar end weight they would like to sell me too that would be exc...
