:D Welcome Aboard :D
That looks nice but I think the silencers have been swapped over from left to right, The badge is on the inside on the left one :? Not that it will make any difference mind, just thought it was odd :wtf:

At a guess I'd say the exhausts were put on like that deliberately in order to hide the badges, make people think that they're standard. Doubt it'd work from the moment the starter's pressed, though. :think:

Welcome aboard from another newbie in Scotland :thumbup:

Hello and welcome to a friendly and happy forum :wave: :-) Why would they try to cover up Fuel Exhausts?? They aren't exactly cheap and only illegal if the baffles have been taken out of them, as the Feul ones say that for them to be road legal, baffles must remain inside.

Not too sure where you new guys are from exactly, as you don't say.Welcome and take a seat, it will take you a long time to read through all the posts lol...

Nope, nothing wrong with them at all indeed, in fact that is why I would Q anyone trying to cover the badge etc. Think it is a case of putting them on and noticing later and prob thought, "I'll do it in a minute" lol..Rarely get anyone down my way, all in Glasgow and further north. Enjoy ;-)
