I thought the whole point of carbon cans is that they don't have the weight of steel!
I use Carbon Can Co and their weave and sheet thickness seems to stand up to backfires, thrashing, everything except crashing, actually... (Sore Point. I expect it will heal!)

2 into 2 or 2 into 1
Dropped my Storm :oops: fitted with a pair of Carbon Can Co straight-throughs on, and one can is sadly no longer with us. I had the choice of fitting the standard cans back on, but it's nowhere near MOT time, so just blanked off the R/H pipe and left the remaining L/H side carbon can on. Lost a litt...
BT021's
Fitted a 21 rear at the Bulldog this year, and it's still on. Ride all year, and use it for work, so although i haven't logged the mileage it's lasting longer that the 020's I usually run. But is it me, or is the middle bit damned hard an slippy? The roads have been awful since the leaves started dr...

Flush mount fronts, and mirrors with LED indicators in as well. rear, replaced tail light with Powerbronze combi tail light/indicators, and also fited dinky winkers from them as well. So two LED sets front, and two LED sets rear... Still flashed too bloody fast, until I fitted a resistor. Stil, they...
I fitted a rear light with built-in indicators, and also a pair of dinky winkers for the rear. Front end, I fitted a pair of flush mount ovals which go over the holes in the fairing that the original indicators poke through, job done. Then I also fitted a pair on mirrors with indicators in as well. ...

Good tip about choke not staying in position, thanks. I find that if I pull choke fully out, then release it as I start cranking and leave throttle shut it starts even when really cold. If I open the throttle at all while cranking it won't start for around half a minute, them backfires like you woul...

88%. I must be even more simple.Mad Ax wrote:90% - agree that some of the questions are a little bit vague, some of them I just plain and simple got wrong ;)
Still, it also means that if the pass rate is only 80%, 1 in 5 of all the broken vehicles coming out of their repair shops are still broken....

I don't care- if I get trollied by a car, I can hold up bits of shattered bright yellow plastic and ask the beak why he couldn't bloody see me? And it doesn't show bees that splatter ...

Cheap Brake Pads!
IMO, cheap tyres or brake pads and you're heading for an accident, but saw Lazer Zloch replacement front pads on Wemoto for less than £10 each side, sintered. I thought I'd try some, Wemoto said they recommended them, same as more expensive stuff but without the brand name. Obviously I can't commen...

Braided lines only work better when they're under lots of pressure. Clutch line is almost no pressure at all, it's only working against the clutch springs, not clamping pads against discs like a brake line. There'll be no benefit in fitting braided clutch lines except for aesthetics, IMO. Unless any...
Clutch
Clutch probs on 97 storm: You can pull away at normal road launches without probs, but when going for it and adding lots of throttle the clutch just makes a graunching noise and locks. Basically if you dial some throttle in and then launch it's ok, but if you add more throttle as the clutch bites it...
