Having seen the MacNav in operation I must admit to being impressed.

I was expecting to see pieces of slate and chisels

Cleaned up the yoshi headers .
I didn't know the yoshi was a big bore system!. 52mm OD pipe

I've got to get one of the mount brackets welded back on and some link pipes made yet

looking good lloydie, far to good for the track bike tho....
also be aware that if it's a big bore system, it might effect your choice of fairing lower.

I have 3 belly pans to use and I don't mind chopping them up :-)

Spoke to my local man about a new rear tyre yesterday. Today went for a nice long run through the Yorkshire Dales and got a rear puncture 20 miles from home. Delivered bike to tyre place on the back of a truck.....

T'was a BT016, supposedly new 2.2k miles ago. Totally trashed. But, I'm getting another one. It seemed to do the job.

Today saw me finally get the track bike back and ready to run again. I said screw it to a new rear brake lever and peg. I've refitted the crashed peg as it is still usable (only scraped the end off) and I have fitted a new throttle tube to it as I broke the old one.

All I need more is some fuel to fire her up and make sure there are no leaks anywhere

good news chris.....
I tinkered a little today, nothing major, carl's going to fit a usb charger to my bike this weekend, so my sat nav will be ready for the journey.

Spanked it's butt all the way to work ,dam love this bike 170 miles before fill ups :-) and I'm not hanging about !

when your old and incontinent 100 miles is plenty , i need to empty before i fill up the bike due to my tablets, still riding it though so can't complain.

MY Mates GS adventure does about 310 miles but cost about £35 to fill up. oh and it looks like a sofa

Fitted the full size micron can and strangely it's louder than the stuby !

if I do get a big bird, i'd look for one similar to yours, early carbed model and black on black, and is your exhaust a 4 into 1 ????

Adjusted head bearings, gear lever and checked tyres, chain, oil and water ready for all day ride out tomorrow. ( weather permitting )
