Thank you :)

The tyres are good. Really give a lot of confidence in the front, good tip in and feels really planted mid corner. For the money they're really good. Might try and do a track day before the bike goes away for winter, so I'll let you all know how they go.

Cheers for the comments guys :thumbup:

Looks very nice. The frame and swingarm would be good in Black too. :thumbup:

Hi mate, lovely bike, mine has Remus cans as well. Beautiful sound, I don't think there are any baffles in. :D . I was wondering what the metal plate riveted to the pipe is, mine doesn't have one.
Cheers :thumbup: .

They used to sell those plates on E Bay for fitting to cans that didn't have the BS number engraved onto them.

It's all BS anyway.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
