They did put up one he'll of a scrap to be fair !
Honestly tho , I assumed a couple of days for the whole job . These Rockets are unforgiving when it comes to the workshop . So much care needs to be taken during disassembly and assembly to protect the finish . No excuse for my slackness I know but full 10000 mile service , including coolant change and greasing all electrical connections . completely strip front end to rebuild Forks and strip headstock .
Remove rear wheel to grease splines . Change disc pads all round . Bleed brakes . Remove tors pipes and link pipe . Replace pipes and rear shocks . Nearly 4 whole days with every tool to make life easier ! Would be interested to know what the main dealer would have charged and how long it would have taken them without damaging me chrome and fasteners ? Pics and soundclip tomorrow !
 
Here's one The late great Jonah Lomu in action against ol' blighty at The Rugby World Cup 1995. No one is to mention the final result or they'll get blacklisted :-(

We were poisoned!

 
I can't upload the soundclip for some reason , but let me just say IT'S BLOODY HOOLIGAN !
 
Aw dear little fella . Mine used to lay like that all the time and grunt ! Pipes are around 5 inches but will measure tomorrow when the little lady comes off nightshift and get a couple of pics with her . I filmed a soundclip but it won't upload . The sound on the video doesn't do them justice tho . They burble on tick over but blip the throttle and holy mackerel , the ground doth shake !
