Good man Ted, well doneTed77 wrote:Just thought you'd all like to know, the bike passed MOT on Weds!! All it needed was the headlamp aim adjusting, and there was an advisory given on 'play in lower shock mount' - which the tester said you won't even notice when the weight of the bike is weighing down on it!!
Happy Ted here!!

Re: Ted's 'storm resto
Ist proper ride out since she passed on Weds...running great, just seems to have a 'flat spot' @ 5000rpm in 6th gear....gets bogged down and wont power through properly - carbs were off and stripped/cleaned, and she's fine in every other gear up to, and past 5000rpm...any ideas?
She was smelling rather rich on fuel when I stopped a few times too - noticeable around the back of the tank area/front of seat - but nothing untoward...

Re: Ted's 'storm resto
You're not kidding - it actually sounds like a V-Twin SHOULD sound....not like the sewing machine it did before!!
It also goes so much better too - pulls better in every gear! Very pleased!![Thumbup :thumbup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumbup.gif)

Re: Ted's 'storm resto
I ran mine with std pipes today for the 1st time in years..... Just the lack of sound makes it feel slower, you will be a much happier man with the new sound track ![Thumbup :thumbup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumbup.gif)
