Well done, finally. Black belly pan will finish it off nicely. You must be well chuffed. Louder the cans the better. The neighbours/village wont complain about it after a while as they will be deaf. :lol: :lol:

Chuffed doesn't came close! :lol: and yeah, getting a moriwaki somewhen. Probably not until shortly before I ride it though to be honest, dunno if I can really afford it right now :S And I definitlely can't afford new cans. Suppose I can have a fiddle inside the silencers and see what can be done :roll:

Dont mean to be pedantic ( or however its spelt ) but your exhausts look like theyre mounted incorrectly mate. Think you should move them to the inside/back of the hanger/footrest. They taper in as standard. Up to you though.

Nice looking bike...keep it that way !! :thumbup:

That is rather interesting :P I'll see how much work it is to do when the bike is next removed from the back of the shed.. it's gonna be a pain to get out :lol: Thanks for pointing that out though, never would have realised they were meant to be the opposite :)

When mounted correctly the bike has a nice slim rear end.....unlike me !! It's a ten min job mate, just undo the mounting bolts at the hangers and they should have enough play just to take them under and back up the other side. If not, you'll need to losen the silencers at the clamps, but no real drama.

I'll try and do that tomorrow then, we were struggling fitting the three other bikes in our shed cause the reflector below the number plate on my brothers VFR800 VTECH kept tapping against the exhausts. I was a bit confused, thanks a lot :D
