Nice headers those Lloydie :lol: The Viper cans look a bit short for SP cans, have they been cut down.

I've been busy today!!! not my bike but fitted front cylinder head to a CCT failed bike, sorted out valve clearances, re-timed everything back up and fitted MCCT's. Another Storm rescued :)

Most of my new bike bits have shown up :thumbup:
Still trying to track down some repacking kits for the Akra cans.....

Akra US was worthless, then got a P\N from Micky but of course that kit is no longer made, so phone calls Mon to see if I can get this figured out.....what a pain :sad2

So it looks like I'll get started in the next week or so :wink:

But will it get through the winter snow drifts and traverse the glaciers??
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

I'm thinking about getting one of them for the track bike and also dumping the ignition switch in favour of a hidden switch

Is it so hard to not fit new exhausts onto something every 3-4 weeks? :lol:
No :lol: I try but I have a problem
I have a few exhausts lying around that would make you giddy if you got yer hands on them to swap around... I'll give you a hint... One of them comes together with an oil sump...

Mopeds are sooo good for popping wheelies! Handlebar mounted brake means you can stand on the seat and everything! :lol:

Gunked the front end, fitted stainless engine/swingarm,/hugger fasteners. Back end not seized, which is a relief but it all needs stripping/regreasing.
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

But Lloydie, a lightened flywheel doesn't take up much space, does it?
:whatever
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
