Solid 107 but it's running lean all the way through. The guy reckoned there's a couple more bhp there. Given this was a benchmark before the fettling starts I'm going to to be generous and say it's making 110.

BTT good to see the mandatory wheelie bin is neatly mounted on the luggage rack
thats the small one

I am actually very impressed with the luggage, apparently the boxes fall off in a smash! is that surprising? I am training my pillion to hold them as she plummets to the ground from 5 feet up.

Something I've been meaning to do for awhile. Not so much what have I done to my bike, but still bike related.
Bike security chain sleeving was well past it's sell by date, so I have replaced it with a new sleeve
The old sleeve came off fair easy with a sharp pair of scissors
However getting the new sleeve on was a bit more challenging, but worth the effort

Yeah. Solid motor so I'm pleased. If I can get 115 I'll be well pleased. Especially with an big dollop of midrange.

Rode the SV1000S back from Luton, tucked it up in the garage. New shock and front indys, maybe a new battery over winter and thats about it.

Good job mate. 115 would be a fantastic increase. I would be happy if mine was putting that out...but its not...yet. That will have to be further down the line

Fitted complete cbr929 front end the other week as well as danmoto rearsets again and leovince cans. I don't understand the clearance issues people have had with the cbr929 clip ons. Worked perfectly fine.

In the process of stripping the bike down and fitting track fairing. Trying to make the bike as minimal as possible, whilst being road legal. I need some ideas what colour to spray the bike. The Moriwaki reps are getting a bit common now
Will have my road fairing up for sale soon if anybody is interested.
Just bought this old girl to get around on whilst I rebuild the storm over winter
Can't get over how much more comfortable it is!

I have a 1200 bandit as well as the storm but don't like the lack of a fairing.Comfort though is really good,except for the wind blast.
