Found an extra 20mph !

By simply taking the roof rack off !

As much as it cruises so much quicker and I dare say the mpg is better (which I don't give a rats ass about), for me, the roof rack gets used a lot, with kayaks, camping kit, collecting firewood, kite buggy etc etc. so it will be back on soon.

I took it off to sort the rattling Wisa deck, as well as welding a couple of antenna mounts on, then paint (kinda). I still resisted the temptation of fitting spotlight mounts though

As Tack said the other day, the less crap bolted to your motor, the better it drives

20mph! Are you sure it's not the level of tolerance to noise your ears have?!

It did make me drive a bit more enthusiastically

Still nowhere near 126 mph

and mine is a bit (lot) tweaked. QRZ 2e0vpf

5mph off, that'll be enough, don't like thrashing her. QRZ 2e0vpf
