DIY Tank raisers

Inspired by a thread I've been contributing to I took a walk to my local hardware shop and bought two 20mm doorstops at 23p each



and then popped into the bike shop over the road to buy two M6x40mm bolts at 35p a piece. Half an hour in the garage and I have tank raisers that look pretty good, if I say so myself... and all for a cost of £1-16.



The only other thing I did was pull the snorkel off the airbox, open out the holes in the doorstops with an 8mm drill to take the bolts and cut a small chunk out of the inside of each doorstop with a craft knife to clear the lump in the frame. Dead easy.

Nicely done, thrifty and practical

bah................

i did this ages ago after a sv650.org member ripped me off. and i copywrited the idea,

It was your post saying you used doorstops that gave me the inspiration. but, I couldn't find any photos so I took my own and posted to give the clueless an idea of what's involved.

As I once said to my dad "To be able to claim intellectual property, you must first have intellect"

Genius, is this to improve airflow to the airbox?

Yes, and apparently it makes your testicles grow bigger too, even if you're a girlie. I read it on the internet, so it must be true.
