    £15 Super Headlight

    Re: My motorcycle mods so far

    It looks very much like the 2 welds on your pipe is where the catalytic converter is placed. My exhaust is different to yours but I took mine apart and inside the down pipe there is another pipe...

    Re: My motorcycle mods so far

    If you are refering to the missfiring problems I was having before it was because I increased my main jet to a 120 or something after installing my big bore kit whereas it should be a 110 or 115....

    Re: My motorcycle mods so far

    Thanks and yes I do still ride it. I don't think I mentioned a crankshaft but I did buy a performance camshaft which has been sitting in my "bike stuff" draw for about 9 months as I am too lazy to...

    If you really want an oil cooler you can do a custom job if you are good at diy (which is the cheaper option) or buy the complete kit from Taobao, the kit from China would be heavy and international...

    Re: My motorcycle mods so far

    Cheers, I'm glad my posts could be of some help. I also found the Haynes manual to be of great help (I learned most of the stuff I know from it), even though it doesn't cover any specific model of...

    Re: My motorcycle mods so far

    I don't think that would be good enough as during heavy rain water will be getting to the air filter at all angles, you need a cover that goes completly around, I don't think you will be able to see...

    happy xmas too :)

    I did consider that air filter but I thought the cover would be too restrictive so I just got a standard cone filter and put half a coke bottle around it to keep the rain off and...

    Re: My motorcycle mods so far

    Oh bugger I've just got some standard hand guards but I wish I got them instead, they are much cooler.

    I don't like mechanics either, I paid a mech to service my bike when I first got it and the...

    Re: My motorcycle mods so far

    Hmmmm thats wierd, it sounds like your mech changed your idle fuel/air mix for some reason. 6 turns is a lot, your idle jet must be way too small; you should only have to turn it about 2 times.

    Ok so the spot lights were good but only slightly better than the headlight so I put a couple of HID bulbs in them. Wiring the HID kit was sort of a pain in the arse since there is no room for the...

    Re: My motorcycle mods so far

    A bigger pipe shouldn't have caused it however if there was any crap inside the pipe it could have caused a blockage or restriction somewhere. When I replaced my fuel pipe I think I got something...

    Re: My motorcycle mods so far

    Ah I think I know what the problem is :O! If you open the throttle slowly the main jet will kick in at roughly 5k revs; I think that your main jet is clogged up!

    Update :O

    I believe that I have some sort of condition that prevents me from not messing with my bike every chance I get, since my last post I have added an alarm, a couple of spotlights and some...

    It's straight and made of a combination of metal (which I assume is aluminum or aluminium) and rubber. How on earth did you get a hole in it? Do you mean the hole at the top? because that is supposed...

    Here's a fairly unique mod that I've done; it's a fully functional cigarette lighter which can also be used to plug various accessories into such as a phone charger. I simply cut a hole in the side...
