Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know of a company that does Big Bore kits for Honda VTR 1000's?

Thanks

Kiwi

Aren't you getting low enough MPG as it is?
I really don't think anyone would do a kit like that for the firestorm.
It's pretty borderline on heat/cooling as it is isnt it?

indeed, mine was lucky to get 80 miles from a tank but you can get larger tanks (which would be essential for a big-bore).

Never ridden one, but I hear that they're best fun that can be had with 100bhp.

I'd avoid the big bore kit tho, you've already got some LAAARGE pistons in there, to go bigger may be more trouble than it seems. Just ask Ducatti WSB who are struggling with their larger capacity bikes!

It's a 2005 model with the larger tank. My wife currently gets 120 miles before reserve kits in. Starting to blow smoke a bit and I need a winter project

Thanks mate, have left them a message. Hopefully he'll call back soon as I'm an impatient bugger!!!

TTS do supercharger kits for alot of bikes.. should boost the power by atleast 50%.. TBH without other engine mods, i don't think you'd see much increase in power with a big bore kit and it would probably cost alot more than it would to get the gains a supercharger or turbo would provide.

try Moriwaki - i,ve got a storm, and a friend of mine is (was) very prominent in the world of modding them. He had a streetfightered one with a full moriwaki pistons etc - was seriously powerfull (but VERY thirsty) was easily good enought to beat most SP's. Otherwise - as above - it's Roger......
