Aluminium velocity stacks

agentpineapple · Post by **agentpineapple** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 2:36 pm

if i can find someone whose prices are reasonable i would like to spend half a day at a dyno to set my bike up, and i'll try and include a before and after with the velocity stacks, there are a couple of dyno places within 2 minutes of where i live, but i want someone who comes highly recomended, i'm in central london but i don't mind travelling to find the right people.
any suggestions?

my mate bill is a sh1t hot dyno-man. he uses a pukka dynajet dyno, and used to build drag race motors for Big CC before he had a big off a couple of years ago. now runs a tuning/rebuild shop with dyno.
bit of a ride for you though, somerset, just the wrong side of the M5.
or tim blakemore in bristol is sh1t-hot too, but probably a bit more pricy.

I use HM racing, in Edenbridge, Kent.

Definitely recommended, they really know their stuff and the dyno guy knows Storms pretty well, and how to set them up properly. He's done mine many times, trying various ideas.

Not too expensive, either, they'll do a set of runs for only a few pounds more than a single run.
Give Steve a call and have a chat, they'll give you sensible advice and don't try to convince you to spend more than you thought you would.

cheers guys i'll give the guys in kent a ring first, purely because there closer, although i've got friends near bristol so i wouldn't rule them out either....

Just remember to adjust the fueling to get accurate comparison results. Having run these for two years now, I think you will be quite happy with yoru investment......

Fitting this at the same time, it's a little lighter

Keep us informed on how it affects the pick up
And I hope the engine don't spin backwards when the air box farts

i've already had tony fit a lightened flywheel to my bike, it revs so much faster now, but its made the riding expierence a touch different if anything its now trickier to ride, but still loads of fun. once i've fitted the velocity stacks i will then fit the superchips module i bought off of ebay earlier this year, which means i can raise the rev limit a little bit amongst other thing.
together with the dj kit/k&n filter and full titanium exhaust it will be interesting to see what comes out of the dyno fettling
i might do the airbox mod aswell while i'm at it......

Let this be a lesson to all, if buying from the states make sure you discuss with the seller what he puts down as final value for the items, i ve just been hit with a bill of Â£102.44 for the 4 sets of velocity stacks thats Â£8.00 handling,Â£17.31 import duty and Â£77.13 for fu***ng VAT, obviously i will have to pay this and it will delay me being able to get them out to you as i need to find some money, so bigspanishmarty,storming jo and amcq46 please accept my appologise i will sort it out as soon as i can.

next time we want small things from USA get them delivered to one of my mates in Detroit, and either he or I will bring them into UK as samples. worst case it might add a month to delivery, but the VAT man has enough of my money already
