Yes ive seen the bike in aus very very nice, No to the side panels like the fact you can see nearly all of the pipes! Thanks for the kind comments, realized i have put this in the wrong section should have gone in rebuilds etc (can you move it norbo)? as for the running its a proper flyer faron stage 3 tune 28mm carbs and jl pipes, not run it at the side of a standard 500 yet but hope to soon once my mate has his running again! cheers jack. |

Looks very good like the semi naked look, have you any side on shots of the bike complete. Are you running stainless steel bottom pipes and mild steel top pipes, can you tell me the length of the body of the top cans please, I have a set of TSI pipes and need cans but want to keep them short to stay within the standard seat unit, I think they need to be no more than 155mm.
Looks like Isle of Man ? Will you be at the Manx this year.
Cheers Rich.

Hi Jack, thats good on the can length cheers being 6 inches long they will fit inside the rear trim with the just the spouts sticking out. Would you say the pipes are overly loud and upset the MOT tester, I have been told they are reasonably quiet especially compared to the old microns of yester year.Just twigged the Sheene helmet - nice touch, cheers Rich.

Not a problem with the mot the pipes are not that noisey
plus with it being an old bike the mot guys turn a blind eye to such things!
cheers jack
