<span style='color:royalblue'>No - its the standard one. After about a month I see that its still a bit "wrinkly" - wondering how guys get that stretched tight look ??</span>

<span style='color:blue'>I ran my '03 LTD without the end cans and it was seriously loud. I got some midpipes made up for around US$200 (thus negating the restriction in the factory midpipes) and mated them to my old VTR slip-ons that I had and for me it worked out great (they sound excellent...

<span style='color:purple'>Try taking your hand off it !!</span>

<span style='color:firebrick'>Without changing any components - how should I adjust the suspension to minimise the "wheelie effect" I get from launching hard ?? more fork rebound ? less shock compression ? I'm a bit new to this draggin thing ! Bike is bog stock really</span>

<span style='font-family:times'><span style='font-size:9pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:tomato'>I was in the same dilemma as you so i went for a Bridgestone 010 which is very similar . Another one is the 020 which is slightly better for touring so they say ?</span></span></span>

<span style='font-size:13pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:darkred'>Yes I did and it wasnt easy as one side is slightly different to the other - sounds really good too Im told. There is quite a restriction in the stock ones and I was too much of a cheapskate to buy a full system. The end...

I am just installing the Suzuki tank bra and was wondering if the side tabs are meant to be that loose under the tank - seems a bit flimsy to me ? Why didnt they have elastic straps like on the front ? Or am I missing summit !

In my own case I have a pair of Scorpion cans and some straight thru mid-pipes and the bike runs just fine here at sea level ??

<span style='font-family:courier'><span style='font-size:13pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>Cheers for that - I'll give that a go then - I reckon the stock damper does bugger all !!</span></span></span>

Could you please explain that last statement about the TRE not fixing all bikes due to the "rich/lean condition" please for us mere mortals.

A 'C' spanner is a common tool found I would think at any decent hardware store or bike shop
