Re: Not bad for a cafe racer made from a R11S

Yes I would imagine the individual K&N's would be detrimental to engine performance through loss of Ram effect.

Could be worse they could have installed Carbies

Re: Not bad for a cafe racer made from a R11S

What ya got against BEARDS, I've had one most of my life, so does my son and he's hardly Hipster.

Re: Britains biggest motorcycle challenge Rant

Gibsons are overrated.
I build and repair guitars, Gibsons are nothing special, these days the other brands have caught up.

Re: Fancy a Ducati 750SS

A can of green paint for the frame makes that much difference?

Re: Does my butt look big in this?

I scored a second set of standard panniers too for $40 (25 pounds) which I have rekeyed to match so I am covered for touring if necessary without having to swap lids over.

Does my butt look big in this?

http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o570/jeffhigh/001_10.jpg Well yes, considering I like the convenience of panniers but rarely carry much and have a few tight bends to get into where I park So a couple of months of hard dieting and gym workouts (aided by city lids and short pannier mounts) http:/...

Re: Zen - Tech or Banter?

I read it many years ago, back in the 70's. Didn't improve my spannering but was a useful treatise on philosophy.

It came with two inserts, the first was quite restrictive, sounded throaty, not much louder than stock, but seemed to take the edge off performance above 4K. The second insert is louder but not raspy, ok as long as you are not caning it around the 'burbs, more urge than the first option, maybe just ...
