Why aren't you happy with them?

What don't they do?

I can lock the front and rear up no problem.. that's a standard setup.

Why do you need any more than that? :?:

Can you still adjust the front suspension easily or do the bars get in the way?

Looks smart.. 8)

Do a search for CCT or cam chain tensioners..

There will be loads of threads.

The best thing to do is not worry about it.. I don't and there's no problem with mine :)

A lot of the decent trackday organisers have a suspension specialist there.. I think it was £15 last time with Focussed Events to have it set up for your weight/riding style :)

Well worth it.. just remember to put your tyre pressures right before you set off home :wink:

Ah well.. not to worry.

I know of one good custom ehxaust place near me and have just been given another number to ring :D

Will get something sorted.. possibly underseat again but done properly this time :wink:

How much was the single can on it's own on yours? That's a one off isn't it?

Everything apart from the exhaust.. looks like it might be staying on now anyway.. change of plan yet again :roll:

It was already fitted.. just got it.

Apart from the modified rear pipe.. can the rest of the system be as standard pipework? As in the cans and link pipes?

Exhaust system with single siding swingarm on?

I know that the rear downpipe has to be modified to come round the right hand side of the shock instead of the left but does anybody know if I can then use the standard can layout?

Cheers 8)

95 standard unleaded is enough for the job.

I sometimes put 98 Super unleaded in if I feel like spending more for no more gain :roll:

91 is low though..

VFR800 single siders.. what they worth?

Thinking of taking mine off and returning it to standard.. I am trying to go that way with the rest of it so I might as well.
Not 100% yet though.. it does look nice 8)


Any idea what they are worth? Complete with everything needed and some Lucas rearsets??

Cheers Ta

So it is :oops:

The seat really makes it look totally different... not sure if I could cope with a seat like that again though.. that's why I went for the Storm.. a bit softer and comfier all round :wink:
