But what sort of an butt chops through cables and pipework like that?
Check that the fuel screws aren't seized......

[VTRDark]

LOL I was thinking the same. OK the coolant hose I could accept as they are on the engine but the choke cables

[sirch345]

I see the master cylinder hoses also got the same treatment.........................the snip

never seen a rentec rack like this before, looks good, but buyer beware it hasn't got the important mounting bracket, without it you will destroy your rear fairing the moment you put weight on it...

this got sniped! Anyone on here? I was wondering where the front bolts mount to as I couldn't see anywhere obvious on my subframe. Maybe this version needs some front brackets as well as the normal rear one

I was wondering about this too. TBH I'm not sure it is for a Storm. I've never seen one like that before for these bikes not that it can't be adapted to fit.

Only bike I have seen with that set up is on Kermit that Chris has butchered for a top box, did CK not have it before?

that was a lloydie hand made modification to a standard topbox rack.

I'm in the process of fitting a rack with a Givi top plate. Overall, with postage, it was £101.20 (including postage) but (apart from drilling a couple of holes) it fits perfectly and will allow my Givi top box to clip on when needed.

Go to motorcycleplanet.co.uk and look for this

Haven't seen these before -

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252409105098

What do you reckon?

[VTRDark]

That's interesting Kev and a good price. They look similar to those expensive German auto tensiners that where designed.

The following has me confused.

a stainless steel tool which allows you to remove the original tensioner safely

whilst maintaining it's length which takes a lot of the guess work out of fitting this new tensioner.

So what are they saying, that the manual tensioners should have the same adjustment that the Auto's had. I'd be interested to see the Illustrated instructions.

We need a set of these to strip apart and investigate. What's inside the rolled bit of metal at the top. They look promising but I would like to see how they adjusts and what's holding it in place.

Clever eBay username that too. The bolts look the right size so it's not Ade in disguise

[bald_pig]

They've got a few different adjusters on there for other bikes, so could be worth looking into

asking to much imho, chances are it would have to have a new spring to suit the rider, it looks a bit tatty as well. £275 to £325 maybe.
they do transform how the bike handles tho, so it is money well spent.

[ConTRo13R]

Considering they are £900 new then not too bad, mine set me back 325 posted. The hydraulic adjuster works too but its missing the knob for it. Nothing an 8mm socket cant solve and also stops scrotes messing with it in carparks. The spring is rated for 160lbs so about 11st, im 13st but i feel it is just perfect for road. I cant help but feel a stiffer spring would be too stiff
