Re: ERA30 in West Sussex
So if there's a picture of it on the Tiger website with No. plates, so presumably street legal, what is it you're doing to it & when will it be finished?

Re: ERA30 in West Sussex
There's a long list of modifications including:
1. Modifying the fuel filler to locate it on the forward side of the firewall rather than down by the exhaust manifold
2. Changing the front indicators so that they can be seen by oncoming traffic
3. Replacing the seats with Tillett B4s
4. Reworking the gear lever mechanism to accommodate the new seats
5. Fitting a more robust oil catch tank
6. A new exhaust manifold and silencer (Simpson Race Exhausts) to reduce the noise level to 92dB (from 105dB!)
7. Tidy up wiring to front and rear light clusters
Still to do:
7. Repair (probably replace) the starter motor and wiring
8. Fit an intertia cut-out switch
9. Steering wheel extension (the seating position is more laid-back and so the wheel is not quite out of reach
But I'm getting there!
