The BMW is now insured and ready for it's MOT. How will riding it affect my feelings of the Bullet? Time will tell.
I fitted a new silencer and jetted the carb to Hitchcocks guidelines. It does seem to be a little pokier and quite a bit louder. Ear plugs when riding are definitely needed. I also fitted a heatshield to the part where my leg touches it when I lean the bike over on the prop stand.
