K OFF....The lot of YA.

i do love my exhaust
i think the stick coils make a big difference, i'd even go as far as to say the improvement was more noticable than the billet velocity stacks, my bike feels so eager to start and acclerate, it must be a much better/stronger spark than the old coils.
i'm the same mate, no garage or shed, so only good weather tinkering days will do for me.
i'm planning a big-ish day in the future when carl and my mate chris aka the mechanic will come around and help me do the tank conversation, sort out the electrickery problems i'm having and fit my new undertray.........fingers crossed the weather will be nice

Argh poor Macee.

Marty that is the problem, all you're doing is talking about doing it! Get it done boy!

Mac, now, now matey, swearing in instalments really doesn't have the same impact!

Is doing it backwards a speciality of yours then Mac? That is what it said on those cards in your local phonebox!!!

to achieve perfection takes time kev, one day you might understand buddy

Got fed up looking for firestorm cans so bought some very cheap ebay bargain link s/h pipes, then found some as new Beawulf warrior cans from a Hayabusa. fitted them this eve, havn't had a chance to ride it yet but sounds nice just running it up, bit of popping and banging though and didn't seem to make any difference in noise with the removable baffles in or out..

pictures/video please

put the back wheel back in with my new tyre, dunlop qualifier 2. gave it a general clean up in the areas accessible with wheel out and the rear brake. popped round my brothers for him to torque up the back axle. went out and did half a tank of petrol.
tbh i could not notice any difference between the brand new tyre and the old one? however i never had a wobble with the old one and it still had reasonable tread on the bits i go round corners on.
cant get nicked for the new one now though!

bit of popping and banging though

Make sure there's no leaks at the header link to can, that will cause some popping and banging. just stick your hand over the outlet while it's running and have a feel around. Do it while the exhaust is cold so you don't burn yourself, but it will soon warm up.
