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

No probs, next time your on the Isle of Wight we'll swap em over. :ImaPoser
ill book me ticket now :wink: :lol:
Venom cans look fantastic. Do they weigh less? If so, how much?
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.
