Popping through the air box?

Post by cunningstunt »

Been out on the storm today and did a 60 mile plod along, nothing fast, and the old girl started to pop through the air box at low revs and after a brief stop at a junction it popped as i pulled off. Any ideas??

Take the quirks off; it's a popular mod, saves a bit of weight and less bits to worry about.

You can always refit them when you sell it.

I also have some idiosyncrasies in the garage I could let you have if you're collecting them.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

I have a few foibles that can be had for very little cash :D
