  1. Standard would be best I recon Even with the standard pipes and an open end can you get a massive flat spot at 4 to 6 k after that they are great I know I have had two of them
  2. With the way my days off are going err maybe the year after All I need is a spring and it can be put back together which won't take long I had all the swing arm off yesterday and put back on within a few hours Still won't be ready for the road though I want to pull the clutch out and weld the center to stop the back torque limiter working as its crap
  3. Good point there tango but with it having downpipes off a different bike we don't know how its running anyway I bet that quill end can is a standard size and bore for most suzuki's so one of the same length and bore won't matter For all we know the bike could have been set up for that system before and it might run spot on but it could easily be the other way I think the main is to get a end can on it get it running and on a dyno to really know for sure
  4. Measure between the bolt centres and measure the inlet on the exhaust How come you have a 4 bolt on yours and not the 3 what is the system off do you know? You could always keep an eye out for a full standard system for your bike If you get me the measurements I can check it against my exhaust for you mine is 4 bolt and they are all the same for tls, tlr, sv1000 and hayabusa
  5. What bike is it? And you can get a new sleeve put on the old cracked one ask megawatt he should be able to sort it
  6. The shock won't have a spring on as its a separate spring and shock on mine but the bike will be getting a spring It mounts to the right of the shock
  7. after much fettling its in http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r71/stu_m_photos/IMG_8262.jpg http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r71/stu_m_photos/IMG_8261.jpg i have sent a nice letter of complaint to bitubo about the rear shock i get off them and they are picking it up on monday to be repaired hopefully under warranty so that will be getting sold on ebay
  8. If you repack at do it loosely it will take up more of the noise too tight and it will be louder
  9. does it wear on what they call the shoulders? about an inch in from the edge and look like its worn more then the rest ? if so it can be normal depending on your riding style and most if not all tyres will wear the same

    Hugger

    as already said post a few pix it sounds to me like its not got the correct fixings on to hold it in place or it needs some adjustment
  11. if anyone is coming to hull to do the humber bridge and it means crossing it wait till after april as they are reducing the bridge toll
  12. if you need a new lid pop to your local heine gericke they have some right bargains at this time of the year and for a little more then £40 you will get a good lid and the staff there will make sure if fits properly as fit is the most important part
  13. all im going to say is its your life if you want to trust it in a lid from lidl then go for it!
  14. If they aren't leaking why bother? If you can wait till you get them out give them a check over if they look good put them back in
  15. Sounds to me like they need a strip down remove the reals clean behind them clean pistons and put them back together Unless they are on slides and they are sticking
  16. That's why you use relay's The alternator will cope I'd say! Could always fit a proper hid kit and I mean the full projectors and not just the bulbs they only draw about 8 amps at turn on then drop to around 4!
  17. REALLY!!!
  18. Never mind sue
  19. Oh dog poo! I can't come! Well I can its the other that can't
  20. They have to be between two certain points a min an max hight the higher you go the lower the beam has to point which is measured as a percentage if you lift the bonnet on a car it should state how much percentage of beam needs the be showing usually 1.3% could be different for bikes but if you get the aligned you won't have no trouble
  21. Aprillia hate already done the 3 lights No not illegal as long as they are all aligned correctly so your not blinding people
  22. I found with the pilots powers I had to go up a few psi as I got a little movement on the rear when pushing really hard but is spot on now
  23. Dunplops/dunflops whatever you want to call them I will not touch My part experience has been they take a lot longer to warm up have far less grip and feel wooden! Forget the super corsa pro's they won't warm up enough on the road Try the Michelin pilot powers 2ct just about right on the road warm up fast good for track also play with tyre pressures too
  24. having fitted many of my own tyres i would charge more then £10 for the time and effort that goes in to it i keep looking for a cheap tyre changing machine i have a nice space in my workshop for one
