was getting right on my, and my neighbours knockers. So it came off :
and is now in a corner of the garage.... Replaced with this:
Side by side, you can see the difference in size:
I could not run the bike up when it was on as it was late-o-clock, but this morning....... Very, very, very pleased. I have installed the factory supplied dB killer, and the can is only marginally louder than the stock can. It sounds very different though, deep and vibey at tickover rising through gruff, to an offbeat wail at high RPM. Very please indeed. It fitted perfectly, and was easily orientated to tuck the link pipe (Ti) tight to the swinger, but leave the can at a jaunty angle. It is better made than the Yosh by some margin, I guess that is the advantage a small manufacturer has over the big guys like Yoshimura who are no more than a badge these days.
Lastly, I can now see much more of the fabulous swingarm, and practicality scores too, as cleaning the bike around the swinger will be much easier. What more could you ask, for a mere £100? Oh, it saves about a 1kg in weight. ;o)
