Sold the pipes though..have you re-installed the originals?
No I fitted a used Jardine Full system I purchased off @RevRoss needed a little work and adjustment but I think it looks good
Just happy to get the stock headers off the bike as they don't do it for me
Planning on getting it on the rollers soon as I have found a local guy who will do it using the Tuneecu
I will post some photos when I get around to it :sneaky:
 
Yes but neither would pass the step up ! As I said , no biggie . Love the bars man .
Will post some pics next time I'm in the cave , there was no way around it . For some reason the cylinder fitted relatively tight to the standard bars as did the clutch perch!
 
My poor old Rocket has laid pretty dormant since September last year as I turned my attention to building the CBR Blackbird . Late good Friday, I had an invitation to a ride out on Easter Sunday and had every intention of taking the CBR as the Rocket had been neglected . Then even later Fri night , thought to myself , would be nice to have a choice on the day tho ? 7am sat morning , gave the torquemonster a wash , wax and blow dry and the momentum built . Pulled the rear wheel and went on a 50mile round trip to get my new Excedra Max tyre fitted , removed bevel box , greased spines , replaced oil in bevel box , reffited wheel , replaced rear disc pads , changed rear brake fluid and fitted new chrome swing arm covers
. Removed stock handlebars and fitted new T bars and kurykyn grips , changed engine oil / filter , did iscv reset and adjustment and finished with a good polish and bled front brakes . Come Sunday morning , I looked at both bikes . The Rocket called the loudest . She barked into life at first stab of the button and then completed a 150 mile ride without missing a beat ! The weather stayed dry and it was good to be alive . I LOVE MY ROCKET ! :inlove :inlove
Ps thanks to @chandelierman for the bars , little bit of grinding to get the perches to fit nice , but well worth the effort , I love em ! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


Glad you're getting out brother! ;) :D

Thanks Brian . Defo sell anything but the Rocket . I keep saying it , they will one day become very sought after . Went on a 200 bike ride out and I can honestly say , mine was the most photographed bike in the end of ride car park ! Be great to catch up with you this year buddy. :)
