Re: France, many speed traps once away from the ports?

Yes, it's still the case, there's Brit police around the port area, and they allegedly patrol throughout the area with the French flics. But once you're away a few miles, there's nothing to worry about. Mind you, I saw a French Customs set up with a few bikes near the Belgian border when I went thro...

Could probably have got one by now, if I didn't keep spending the wife's housekeeping on the Storm :oops:

Re: I done got me a Firestorm!

Powerbronze have gold or silver meshed Carbon front mudguards.
£99 each, they're nice.
I have the unvented one- see my pimped pix :D

Unfortunately they don't do a specific bellypan.

Try searching threads for "bellypan", I'm sure we had a thread not long ago about who does what.

Re: Rear cylinder downpipe?????

A tiny bit of coppaslip on the inside of the compressible graphite gaskets makes it easier to separate them later- and I find you can then re-use them. They stay on the inner part of the joint. Last point is that the annulus fitted to the pipe to stop the graphite gasket slipping out can actually fi...

Try a plug chop after a 30-second full throttle run and see what it tells you. Also, if you're running race exhausts and a...
