Oh my, I know when I'm defeated
A man after my own heart you are bark -
Bark, I'm dying to see what could possibly beat a half naked beautiful redhead chilling down a massive pile of beer, I mean, its every man's dream. But the pictures not showing up

Thats the way it should look how does it sound ?
Yeah pretty nice, took a quick mobile vid but it sounds alot louder in person, nice deep growl to it

Just want the weather to clear up so I can taker her out and have a listen!

All done

Sorry for the lack of updates, man flu
Almost done! Getting the spout end back on was a bit of a pain, was filing away thinking that would help me slip it back in so to speak. Well it didn't, but the hammer I used worked wonders
Just need to rivet it all back together, using aluminium rivets at the moment, cant find any better ones anywhere. I plan to upgrade them in the near future (unlikely!) -
Oh dont worry the removable baffle is staying out
But inside the exhaust surrounded by all this fiberglassy packing there is a length of pipe that runs through the exhaust. This is what I've heard been called the "internal baffle" and it helps to cut down the nouse, hold the shape and all that jazz, apparently.Diagram because Its hard to explain when you have very little clue what your talking about

I'm sure you won't be too "baffled" with the next stage
Funny you should say that, it took me ages to work out that its welded in on the inlet, had to drill the rivets out at the other end and managed to hack and inch and a half off the baffle, should all fit nicely now Got a day off work wednesday to hopefully get this finished.

*Next day*
I was thinking about popping to the gym today but after doing this I don't think I'll bother! Trip to B&Q to replace our elusive hacksaw, found some big hose clips as I don't have much faith in my ability to cut straight! Crap pics below
Cut line marked out
That internal baffle was one thick f*cker! Took a while but the end result is looking pretty good.
7" stubby.....oh that's tempting!
Reward time
Jobs for tomorrow are to fit the standard exhaust back onto my bike so I can get to work monday
. And hopefully find a way to get the bloody internal baffle out so I can cut it down, its wedged in there pretty good -
Got this posted over at bike chat forums, thought I'd post it up here for you guys to laugh at my attempt
Thought I might do my best to document this, to help anyone else who's thinking of doing it. I've read a few guides on the net but I am completely hopeless with anything to do with making/maintenance pretty much anything mechanical. I was amazed when I managed to fit bar end mirrors and still to this day feel proud, that's how bad I am. If I can pull this off, anyone can, and I mean anyone.
I bought this Scorpion stainless oval for my Bandit at this years bmf show but I came home and was very disappointed at the lack of pretty much any audible improvement
So its time to do the right thing and stubby it Stopped off at Homebase on the way home from work and picked up a rivet gun, 3 sizes of rivets, 3mm metal drill bits and two hacksaw blades for cutting metal (even got asked for id buying the blades, how crazy is that). This is how far I am currently.
*Sorry for the crap pics, Dad's in spain with my d-slr*
Here's the pipe as it was, looks alright, pretty long but just not loud enough.
Pipe off the bike and all the bits, rivet gun, blades and drill bits
Drilled the heads off all the rivets at the spout end using the 3mm drill bit and a hammer, then punched the remaining bit of the rivet through using a small screwdriver. After much hammering, shouting and pulling I was left with this
The point of no return I think its called.... -
Its there to be ridden, ride it
Used mine to commute and never had any problems, apart from a pedestrians inability to spot a large noisy bright yellow motorcycle with a 6' 3 ride on top.... -
Ahhhh and I was expecting a really stupid post after reading that title
Quick blast on ebay shows you can get the whole right hand lot for 15 squid, irritating when all you wants the start button though! link

Which one - African or European?
But then of course African swallows are non-migratory.

The firearms legislation in this country is already one of the strictest in the world.
Recent further rulings have now made it illegal for the trade to sell air rifles/pistols and certain accessories by mail order and must be done face to face at a Registered Firearms Dealer (R.F.D.) causing many businesses to close. Its not a case of further laws but enforcing the present, very adequate laws by giving stricter punishments for the small minority that break them.

Crazy eh,and just look at what those strict regulations have done,gun crime is unheard of in Britain....
And like you said, the latest vcra amendment has stopped mail orders sales or air rifles/pistols but also, airsoft guns, that fire a 0.2g plastic pellet at a max of about 7/800 fps (if you pump a few hundred quid into them) now have to be painted 51% luminous green/red if your not a registered member of a skirmish site Its sporting equipment for christs sake, I could do alot more damage to you with a cricket bat than a bb gun.. -

An AK-47? thats handy to have around
Ak47s, m15a1 and a baretta in the case on top of my draws, not pictured is the multitude of knives,swords and a remington 700 airsoft rifle. Not exactly strange for 19 year old city kids now adays eh There part of my other hobby, used to be into paintballing/airsoft, regularly shoot air rifles & pistols and I collected all manor of pointy killy things. The ak is neutered (de-activated) unfortunatly -

Picked this up yesterday, rode it 80 miles home in the pitch black surrounded by artics, not a great ride
Just a little something to help the 2 year restriction pass quicker....S*zuki DR350 Supermoto. Alot of grunt for a little engine! Its a 91 model so the kickstart is a bit of a bitch
And the bandit, finally got round to taking a non camera phone pic

As for the content being blocked out from the drop down navigation, what browser are you using?
It was firefox but it seems ok now

Ooh snazzy, all done
Not sure if anyone else is getting it but the add under your name and pic in the top right blocks some of the contents of the drop down menue? New layout looks great btw -
Bandit.
Nuff said
My girlfriends about 5 foot 3 or something silly like that, she can touch the floor on tiptoes but says she would feel comfortable riding it. Reassuringly heavy, lots of bolt on goodies and go like stink -
^Agreed. Looks amazing but that can doesn't look right
