The pipes look great can I ask if you fitted different link pipes or is it correct that you can rotate the current ones around to achieve the raised look?

they are the standard ones and that is about as far as you can rotate them before the RH side one won't fit correctly. so you cant get an angle like the SP1 [or carls Storm] with std link pipes

Perhaps then they will stand the V twin vibes longer than some do :thumbup:

looks good Al, just keep an eye on the packing, once the packing breaks down or destroys itself, the c/f cans might overheat and get damaged.
personally I love c/f cans, those arrows are extremely well made, up there with leo vince,yoshi,akra in the quality department.... :thumbup:

mmmm remus cans :3 need to get me a set of carbon cans as I prefer the look to just shiny ones XD wide bars make the most difference for me though much nicer to ride at any speed!

Its a fairly basic emulsion type shock from WP with only rebound damping adjustment [12 clicks] not the top of the range fully adjustable. But it has adjustable ride height [so no need for spacers] and I had it valved and sprung for my weight by Revs Racing, hence it is a revolation compared to the over sprung, underdamped showa unit.

With the Roger Revolution forks & the WP on the rear, the back & front end both now react the same when you hit a bump or a dip, so the bike is very stable and easy to ride hard.

The sag back & front are set up as reccomended by Roger, and the front end dropped 3mm, rear raised 5mm so it turns in fater as well, but no tankslappers or instability with this set up

Not sure that a fully adjustable one would be any better, as sometimes you can have to much adjustment and you end up getting lost.
Your right there, i do have the one with the remote adjuster, but I've set my forks as Roger advised and have set my shock up myself. It felt ok but i raised the height up as i have Renthals fitted and its much better. I haven't touched the remote since its been set up as it does seem great.
Ive noticed i can ride faster over rougher roads and it does hold a line a treat. Overall very happy with my set up now. Rogers Forks are a huge difference. and the bike doesn't have a choppy butt end with the WP on.
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

who makes the headers? Were they used ? New Old Stock? Something currently available?

Do you get visitation rights to the testicle you had to trade off? or is it gone for good? 8O

TESTICLE is fine now thanks :lol:

a case of being on line just at the right time when one of lads put it up for sale… I am told by Martypineapple who was the 2nd owner, that it was a one off system built for a race bike in the Isle Of Man. don't know who was the builder. but it is a nice piece of engineering they way all the parts fit and the quality of the welding

New indicators fitted using genuine Honda parts on the rear after fabio managed to pull the china copy ones off.
Fronts are still china parts.

These are off a CBR 125, but look like the style on the newer f3 storms
