Is it illegal though? When I bought mine it had the smaller plate on it - so I googled it and the law for surrounds only came in for bikes after 2000 - I think. Prior to 2000 you can have this smaller size 8x6 inches, post 2000 9x7 inches - please correct me if i'm wrong.............. But you def ca...

and that just sits in the spring behind the plunger?

What did you use to make the stopper out of?

you need to get a second bike like mine so then you can go out and have some green lane fun in the snow!!!

Problem for me is it only snowed here for the first time this winter yesterday and today I've been rushing round getting the presents I should have got weeks ago!!! Doh.

Clivey, I'd be interested in how much they charge you for some pipes to be made, I need ones for full length cans though, like you currently have and that Forde has claimed interest in. If for some reason it works out cheaper for them to make up more than one set give me a shout and I'll have some m...

I don't know, but I'm interested in the answer as I'm about to fit some to mine

Just checked mine too which I bought around Oct time and they are orangey red but def not pink like whats currently on the bike.

Dave Silver, my apologies

Thanks - still debating doing this yet as I only have 10k miles on the bike currently. But I've just read the other post re Dave Silver spares selling off old stock pink dot tensioners, with new ones being orange dot. I've bought pink dot from DS - so thinking gonna need to change the tensioners aga...

Thanks to Tony for those clarification points.........it's got to the point where there is almost too much info when you put it in the search so it makes more sense when you ask again!!

Kev - pm'd you re photo's.

Cheers all

Does anyone know if there is an idiots guide, similar to Sirch's CCT guide on here for valve clearances?

I read somewhere it's worth checking them whilst doing CCT's? Can anyone expand?

Cheers.................an idiot!

I've got new manual CCT's but still not been brave enough to have a crack at it. I've printed Sirch's v good instructions. Q - The small blade sticking out the back of the new ones, does that just unscrew anti clockwise? Can I just take the old ones off (once the engine is TBC) and let them extend a...

That's the one...........

I'd like to add, I don't usually read MCN it's just I was a muppet with a saw the other day and now have a couple of stiches in my left hand.

So I've got more time to dispose of than usual so bougth MCN.......that was about the only thing in it that maybe worth noting!!!!

Am I being stupid or something but doesn't this cause you major 'can't pass the MOT' issues??

A motorcyclist who was a ride leader was punished by a Crown Court Judge for the actions of other rider's in his group. A group of three riders were out and an unmarked Police R1 clocked the lead bike at 80 something mph and the second rider at 103 mph. The Judge decided that because of the actions ...

Is that the lay by in Gloucestershire on the A436 just south of Cheltenham in the Cotswolds??

If not, there's a chap there who does the same sort of thing. Such a talent!
