Exhaust header gaskets?

That crossed my mind too.
Thats why I prefer the APE style or the modded stockers like I have. Seems like budget engineering to me.

Re: Where to buy Cam Chain Tensioners ATM

Nzs. The stopper mod needs the cct measured in situ, then removed and the roll pin knocked out, take an internal measurement then cut a length of bar based on the 2 Measurements. Then reassemble.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Re: Will these vtr bits fit a Hornet?

Wheels I believe so because the front is a common conversion to put a 17" wheel on a Hornet 600. i know a 900 hornet rear works as have a spare one that I have fitted.

I doubt the swingarm wouldbut can confirm that in a bit as I have both sitting in the shed.
