The pipes from TSA Kenny came earlier in the week and I managed to get them on today with the halp of No1 mechanic, Charlie, my nephew. He has helped me take the engine out and put back in and also replace the damage stuff from the crash. The engine came back from Mick Abbey couple of weeks ago after having its air ways opened and with these pipes the grin factor is expected to double.
Still got a few bits and bobs to do but they'll get done in the next couple of weeks. Just took it a couple of miles uo the road, this was Charlies first time on a bike and he loved it.

Nice one. How does the bike go wiv' them new pipes on ? First impressions are ;D ;D ;D It's had new pistons and rings and I'd put a splash of oily petrol in the tank to bleed the pump so we were running on that plus the oil pump. I've upped the main jets by 2 jumps and the pilots by 2 also, so I need to do a session of plug chops to get it spot on. We only went a couple of miles down the road, it 's not quite right but bloomin' 'eck it goes well! The pipes sound great, lovely and crisp, nice and noisey, but not too loud.

'cos it's smaller, and a I don't like that great big thing!' she says. After 10 minutes on the LC she said she'd never go on that again! ;D Now there's something to compare the Guzzi with she quite likes it.
