    Nice Muff (SFW)

    I understand what you are saying about predators however I am very happy with mine, good quality, traditional sound and they are really not exceptionally loud. They sit lower than the dominator touring exhausts as I have owned both. However it is dependant on the style and look you are after...

    The stock rear suspension is 330mm the hagon nitro's are 340mm and I have experienced a quicker front end which is no drama. I am just trying to obtain the best suspension options eg what front end springs do I need? Can I get the same ones that suit t100 etc, rincors yes/no etc.

    I tried to search 1ST however nothing specific for efi bonne's they have smaller stanchins and a lower rear end to accomodate for the 17inch Mag Wheels hence why I asked. Standard bonne suspension is easy heaps of options. I have been to ASR at Arthurs seat sportone except he wants 1950aud for...

    What is the best tire make and size combination ?

    If you keep your stock recommended tire sizes your handling will not change, however if you change your rear etc the handling changes. Also if you want a tyre that lasts it will be a heavier compound etc and not as sticky to give grip when you lean her over. It is dependant on what riding you...

    Would the real Motorcycle Mechanic please stand up ? ?

    I fitted the whole kit myself and as it is a efi I used tune ecu with a map bought from pieman. With this map if you use the k&N's it runs rich very fume'e and now with the DNA pods runs perfect no fume'e smell and the bike hauls through the entire rev range and puts a smile on ya dial. On...

    Would the real Motorcycle Mechanic please stand up ? ?

    To support you pieman I had the k&n installed on mine with the airbox removed and as you suggested it would run too rich and it did, it might be good for a petrol sniffer but not for me. I think that in this case all I would have needed was a unwanted spark and boom, not good for a fireman to...

    What is the best tire make and size combination ?

    Just a point guys remember that mix matching tyres is not so good as both the front and rear work hand in hand. After being at a number of accidents I agree whole heartedly with pieman, choose the best, safe' tyre you can afford and them running out quicker is a small price to pay for safety...

    What is the best tire make and size combination ?

    I have the sport demons too mate and need to replace the rear tyre can I go a 140/70r17 on the rear? Mine is the mag wheel version and I think a bit bigger tyre would look trick and not effect handling much cheers and I look forward to your reply Ben Dickens.

    Would the real Motorcycle Mechanic please stand up ? ?

    Couldn't agree more mate it would make life a lot easier and having recently gone down this path it would have been awsome but all of you helped me out so much I would have been lost. However I think a sticky thread just as you described for each machine would help us all out a great deal...
