plenty more sanding left in them yet though. most of the panels are also rubbed down. bit more filler to sand in the belly pan and that's it.

back to work in a week and a half. :thumbup:
being at home is nice but being stuck on ya ass for most of it is not! especially when there is so much to do

this is a picture of the exhaust as it was fitted to my bike.

obviously with out the gaps inbetween it lol. looks like the pipes where cut to make it into a single exit and a small extension added.

Sorry if you have already reported on how the bike ran, but, what was it like with the single exhaust? Were there any notable performance reductions etc?

it seemed fine just loud!!!

i think there can be issues with adequate back pressure as v-twins require different things from the exhaust compared to a IL4, but don't quote me on that.
