CCT too tight makes the noise on start up, heard it on forum members bike last week.....it sounds weird but will go away when you slacken the offending CCT. But given the fact it sounds like they didn't know what they were doing, it could well be both back and front. Have a read on the other CCT thr...

Still smiling, oh and driving round with the roof down even when it is cloudy.... All good fun so far

Balance the carbs, raise the tickover a bit and try some new plugs.

Other than that, they all do it to some extent

hi im after some cans as cheap as possible, what should i look out for? :confused Or drill the rear baffle out of the stock pipes, sounds good and costs nothing. I put microns on mine when I bought it 10 yrs ago, but they were just too loud so I have been running this debaffled set up for about 7yr...

I went for Armstrong discs which were cheeper than Galfer, but about the same as EBC these links were all the options I was looking at http://www.davidsilverspares.co....

you out on the bike yet mate, or still doing physio?

When I have it in my hands I will do some measurements and take photos of any design features that might need to be considered. getting the center to center distance will be critical to ensure no binding, when I made fork brace for my racing MZ I made then from 2 parts and the overlap was slotted to...
