Yeah yeah.
I was thinking I'd like to remove something unsightly from the bike - which is way better than adding something unsightly to it.
Which reminds me. How is that screen coming along???

Warp9.9 took it of my hands... give him some sh!t instead...

Quick fix for your mishap try some exhaust high temp spray paint. Before you try it do a sample first to see if it match...
 

Beg yours as I reckon that was a tad dill.
I never considered the shield had anything to do with the reason you sent out the photos in the first place!

You know the funny thing about that, Fred - actually it's sad, not funny - is that I considered getting a smaller sheet of ss, attaching it via the 2 screws holding that foot peg side cover and somehow curling it over the offending piece of pipe. I didn't consider it for long though, not even as a temp measure.
I think that would have really made @bruce aussie cry.

Sh#t?? Whatever do you mean.

Bit of spray might not be a bad idea....

Those mufflers look good. How do they sound ? Tell us about them. Also, If you had only made them about 2 inches or so shorter you wouldn't have to take them off to pull the axle.
 
They sound great , i've ridden behind Richard as he howled through Cradle Mountains in Tassie .

Dennis Foran pipes. Well known and respected Aussie specialist. Nice deep sound. Very distinctive. Smoother than TORs, better sounding, much much better quality and not as raucous as Jardine and louder but maybe not as mellow as Staintune. I like them a lot.

The tyre guy could just manage the axle out previously but isn't going to be happy now. Hadn't really considered that. Be too hard to shorten the left one anyway because the crossover pipe is close up to the starter as it is. There would have been issues on the right as well. Too bad; they look so much better now.

Were you boys fanging?

Ha ha. Yeah, we were fanging like I've never fanged before. That was the individual best ride I've had in over 40 years riding. Big smiles, as TC says.
