Bafflectomy , removed the snorkel, cutout some material from the top of the filter(as in the stopper below the bar), found an airleak/ingress, put in longer airbox screws(3 had stripped the plastic), gave it a damn good thrashing, had some tea and then ride the other bike for a bit

Bloke I went to was just near Brands hatch. Theres also a fella in Hackney if you want I can get his number. Someone here mentioned something in Purfleet I think. I'll try to find the post.

i wouldn't mind finding out the number for the fella in hackney, i fancy getting my seat recovered in a different material and some fancy stitching

I'm on it!!

added to the filth. Gone 5 days at 100 miles per day in the rain, the bike is encrusted with crud but I like it. Hardcore or what?

Some pics of the anodised red bolts I put on at the weekend and a new tax disc holder.

I've been busy with an angle grinder today. I would love to explain how I did it but it involved lots of measuring, chopping, drilling and bolting.

Sorry the pics are in the dark but by the time I'd stopped to get some it was a bit late lol (the neighbours love me!! )

I've gone from this...



To this

should look good when finished,im toying with the idea of changing the rear on mine maybe gsx k5 not to sure at the mo

I'm still a bit undecided about the angle of the seat.

The wider pic I've taken makes it look far too high at the back end but when I'm looking at in in real life it looks just about there...wondering whether its camera trickery lol

well ive just done the stack mod changed to 2 long stacks but weather is crap cant get it out and test it what can i expect guys? also reroted the breather pipe that causes the stalling after heavy breaking while i was on

and a big thanks to 71geoff for the delivery of the stacks top man

I've just fitted the long stack at the front, to be honest I can't really tell a massive difference, it does feel slightly different, but if someone fitted it without me know I don't think I'd tell! if you know what I mean.

Ps. I tested it out in the dry too so managed to give it a good thrashing!

Ummm... well... Assuming you don't mind bump starting, manually flashing the indicators, manually igniting the fuel/air mix and manually sorting out that wavey voltage coming from the alternator... Oh hang on, you don't have a battery either...

Problem solved!

It's a garden feature!
