Grave Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Very smart mate, i do like this. Never been too keen on that front light tho, is it any good? i know what you mean there. the longer i've had it the less impressed with it i am. main reason i've kept it though is that i havent seen another one on the road over here. despite the size of it, it does give a very good beam. far brighter & further than the stock headlight. normal light is one side, main beam the other or if you have normal beam on and press the main-beam trigger, both come on at the same time and will illuminate everything in front of you for a fair distance.

Noise Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I still love those pipes! have you got brackets further down supporting them or are they just held in place via the bolts in the cylinder? ive been looking at the V&H short shots but bit pricey at close to £400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grave Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 I still love those pipes! have you got brackets further down supporting them or are they just held in place via the bolts in the cylinder? ive been looking at the V&H short shots but bit pricey at close to £400 only bolted on at the heads and connected with a small bracket around the back just after they run together. because of the size of them there was no need to hold them to the bike at the tail-end. $200 (less than 140 of your sterling quid) and you could probably have them shipped for a further 50. mind you, we did chop the exhaust joints off the stock pipes which is a foolproof way of making sure a set of custom pipes will fit back onto the heads.

Noise Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Yer im still un sure of what style exhaust im going to have made yet, i need to sort out the frame first and decide what exhaust style will fit the frame. Im leaning to a two into one with a big fat turn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
