Time to resurrect this thread again. I ended up putting the bike in the shop months ago. They absolutely drowned it and could get it to repeat the problem. It's been running like a dream since then........until Friday. Same old problem in heavy rain. Cut out and fortunately I managed to take shelte...

That would be interesting. Random idea would be to make a little restriction you could pop in there for a run. I guess even a DB killer in one pipe would do the same.

If it helps I found this response a good while ago about it all, I found it funny and informative: > > The restrictor in the standard headers is there to > > assist the pulsing which > > helps to scoure the front cylinder and to create a > > turbulence vacuum thus > > accelerating the gas speed at ...

Cheers for the info.

Anybody had Carpel tunnel release surgery? How long before you rode again?

Im up for it in 2 weeks. Will be the first time not riding in years.

I will be off riding for a few weeks soon so will send things off for work then.

I really hope this turns out O.K.!!

Time will tell I spose.

Thinking gold rim with black spokes. Really not sure if it would work. May be safe and go for gold completely.

They must be hard on packing, I did it 3 months ago. But she does seem louder than before.

Why? Its not a tuned system.

Cool. Im thinking of doing the same with gold.

My LH muffler is much louder than my RH muffler?

Maybe I need to open up the restriction in the RH pipe to make them the same?

I think the thing with the CBR brace, is it gives a really good amount of rigidity based on the relative stiffness of the rest of the chassis. That and the fact that it fits so perfectly on the VTR swinger is what makes it so popular. I think more is only needed when things like USD forks and a bra...

So wheres a pic of the finished wheels?

Hymie, is this on a standard right way up VTR front end? Yeah normal stock vtr . Terry from racetech has done a lot of vtr1000s firestorms. He loves them. Im in Australia. He is only 30 min drive from me. He just cable tied the shims in correct order to the compression gold valves. He said I didn't...
