From a riding point of view, the SS's steer slowly but are as stable as the QE2, top speed will be 135-140 ish but they are very fast point to point-because of the handling. Lovely things to ride-wish I still had mine.
Oh yes, and without the carb heater kit anything under about 5c will give you carb icing.

Even with the bleedin' carb heaters you've got carb icing to look forward too....

Carb heaters, Silkoline Pro FST and breathing heavily on the carbs every now and then might see you right... If you're lucky...

Hi Glyn,
I do fish!, but I've lived here before and knew the sea was all fished out, so left my tackle in storage back home. Got bored of going to the beach day after day and if you've been here the locals all drive with a death wish. So I've been playing on the dirt, much safer! Some bloke came along and gave me real good money for my 'green' laner and now I'm bored again.
If we meet I'll buy the first one!

Ebay.

Got a set of new hi-level Laser cans (Dutch company) for around £100. Not up to the quality of Arrow and the like but still not too shabby.

It's just a case of keeping your eyes open.

will keep watching ebay now then, ta.

what would i need to fit a set of high level cans please? do i lose the rear footrests? would superlight ones just go on?

if anyone hears of any for that sort of money please feel free to pm me...ta.

[FiscusFish]

You'll lose the rear footrests and need a set of Superlight hangers (Bolt straight on).

Some companies make "extension kits" that allow you to mount the original footrests on the outside of the cans but I reckon they look more than a little poo. I guess it's down to personal preference plus finding the extension kit...

More info and pictures here http://speedzilla.zeroforum.com/zerothread?id=41425 They appear to be for SSies but I'm sure you could do something similar with the better looking early SSs....

right thanks for that Darren...all i gotta do now is look out for some tasty carbon hi level cans and some s/l hangers!!! it could happen couldnt it? other than ebay, any suggestions where to have a look for said items...looking second hand as i only got 150 notes to play around with and i had to fight she that must be obeyed for them!
