Hi all
 :notworthy
Just a quick post to say thank you to all of you who have replied to my cries for help, and those of you who have posted stuff in the past that I found helpful in resurrecting the Tiger.

Without you she would not be looking forward to a summer of going round in circles on the Isle of Wight. And you never know I may even make it over to England!

Thank you all again
Gav

Venom cans look fantastic. Do they weigh less? If so, how much?
Mostly commuting around town on the Steamer these days.

GavD

I didn't weigh them before fitting them, but they felt significantly lighter than the oem dustbins I took off them, I think NeilD has just got a similar set, maybe he could weigh 'em up against the originals.

Update:

Not got out on her as much as I'd like due to work & family commitments, but have managed to use a full tank of petrol now. She's running sweet with no signs of any problems & is returning somewhere between 45 & 50 mpg (imp gallons). It's great to be back riding again after a 4 year lay off.

I'm venturing abroad to England this weekendwith my step son to see British Superbikes at Thruxton. Can't wait.
