i assume your system also doesnt have that little talked about extra bit pokes into the R/H link..... i think the mori downpipes have made the single biggest difference to this one, it just seems eager to rev freer :thumbup:

Damn!
I can't wait to see this puppy. 15 months well spent if you ask me Rob. The kids don't need a posh education. the school of life will still do them proud. Fit some paniers and a top box and you'll have the best of all words :lol: :lol: :lol:
