    Tiger 800XC - just had Progressive front springs done

    I am more concerned about the weave from side to side - almost beginning of a tank slap at about 170 km.  Yes I do have EO7's on but I hate the weaveing.  Will it cure that problem of mine?  If so its a bargain.

    Catalytic converter removal.

    Hi all.  I am in for the beer etc. meet & ride.  I am also curious if the cat removal is worth the effort.  It will be interesting to compare fuel usage.  I almost always get between 5 & 6.5 l/100km.  How much is that in km per liter?  This is at the pump.  If I read the computer it is...
