What I want is a non-naked Supernaked. An S1000R with a good fairing but keeping the upright riding position, an S1000RS type of thing. Or a Superduke or Streetfighter or Tuono or CB1000 etc.

I don’t want piddling half fairing either, I want one that’s going to keep me comfortable at speed. I want the comfy riding position but I don’t want a sports tourer, I want a comfy sports bike.

It can’t be beyond the wit of man, surely?

Our house has always had low flow and poor pressure compared to other places we’ve lived but we’re getting a bit annoyed at poor shower performance, mainly.

I had United Utilities out and they said the pressure was fine (it registers max 0.75 bar on my boiler).

The flow numbers are:

Location

Flow rate

Outside tap

18–20 L/min

Kitchen cold

~7.8 L/min

Kitchen hot

~6.0 L/min

Shower cold (no head)

~6.3 L/min

Shower hot (no head)

~5.5 L/min

We have a combi boiler (Worcester Bosch 38CDi) and no hot water tank/cylinder.

The inlet pipe is 15mm out of the stopcock. The boiler specs 15mm for the DCW in.

Is there anything I can do that’s going to give me a worthwhile improvement?
