  1. does sitting forward or to the back change anything. How about with a pillion? tyre pressures?

    update; confirmed the other party admitted fault, so I'm taking it round to Red Rose retro in Burnley rd, Todmorden to have it assessed for the insurance. booked in the private doctors to assess me and also have some physio. Also good news is that I can sort of use the hand for clutch so went for a little spin on it, just can't get into standing traffic for too long or it hurts too much. different view of the forks

    great write up,i wanted one for my 50th but pops said it was dangerous approx cost would be great, Donnigton's a great track and saw the 500 GP there in '87. Cadwell seems a good place to ride too.

  9. 4 stroke exhausts are totally different. They are packed inside the chamber normally with baffles to provide backpressure for more torque, whereas 2 strokes are packed externally. my xs has a Yoshi through exhaust but with external packing and jetted accordingly

    I had no lessons at all and looking back, really would have benefitted from them instead of learning the hard way. Its the other folk on the road who are the problem IMHO.
  13. there's no back pressure from the packing as it works by absorption.usually goes round a straight through perforated tube

  15. absorbs the noise and changes the frequency ie lower to be more socially acceptable. I just managed to get a peashooter exhaust from the 70's, now they are loud

    for metric the drill size is thread size less pitch. so for an M7 with 1.25 pitch you need a 5.75mm drill bit.
