@DethBeard - I thought the orange accented nicely with the black. Unfortunately it's my current method of waterproofing the speedo. MUST get back on ebay to see if I can get a cheap tacho to steal bits from.
@Jung - I'm swinging back and forth on this.
First off, right now it's too much of an outlay when teh £££s should go on the boots and trousers budget. Second, I do like the standard pipes and asides from under-slung ones haven't seen any I think look good. Defo don't understand the fascination for those after-thought Arrow ones.
Tecbikeparts desert is up there as the main consideration:
But I think I'd need to fabricate different heat shields... I had wondered about just cutting them out and sticking mesh under.
I also really like the BC slashed TT pipes, but I think the first section flares too far out from the bike, and they too much money - for something which I don't think is spot on.
Out of curiosity does anyone know why that sort of cone shape is the most popular for exhaust mufflers?
