Its no louder than the ART exhausts my SV had but its a much deeper sound.

I'm keeping my standard exhausts to slap back on should i ever go on a European trip.

Raging here, was out for spin, stopped off to get a drink from a shop, was only in there for five minutes. Came out of the shop and there is a massive dent on the left side of the petrol tank, no scratches or cracks in the paint just a big ass god damn dent!!!! Definitely wasn't there when I went in to the shop.

its cbr1100xx blackbird.. lovely silver baby...

sorry to hear that blue... ****ers all around...

4 days a go someone went over my car with key... all side from the front headlight up untill the boot.. muppets.... no reason for that... just pure disgrace...

blu3r0ri0n

Just ordered a bagster tank cover, LOL, should be here monday!

I'm pretty sure someone hit it with something no other damage, I doubt it they would be able to pick it up without help unless they knew how to, its a heavy bike 255kg with a full tank, no CCTV or witnesses, whatever they hit it with wasn't hard as there is no marks. if I didn't know any better I would say they punched it or hammed down with their fist. ****ers, full of scum bags around.

wtf... kick would knock the bike over.... thats not a fall and handlebars would protect that tank... sorry but maybe a heat? it may be possible.. you stopped.. the engine gets extremly hot and maybe blow the metal... its just a theory in my mind... the bike may have been knocked before and the tank stretched.. and repainted.... again its just sci-fi theory of mine/.... in that case extreme heat may bend the tank again.

Yep, definitely not a fall, plus its on the side of the sidestand if it was the other side fair enough. I doubt that its the heat , birds run hot anyway and today was no different than any other day. Never heard of a bird getting a dent in the tank due to heat.

Richard tea

Almost like someone gave it a knee No visable marks or scratches from a metal object striking it. Sorry blu

yeh i never heard that as well... it was just an shot in the air... but how can you do so much damage without touching the colour...


if there was a dent before--- applying heat you can stretch the tank back to normal.. aplying heat again without any force may pop the tank to previous "dented state"....

That's why I think someone either hammered sideways with their fist or punched it, no other explanation.

tempted to give one of these a try, what do you think?



or...

Bikerguy

never did that.... well... maybe a leather cover as you mentioned... but looking at the prices.. they aint cheap...


how much is the stretching kit... its worth a go..if its not expensive...
