To help the economy downunder. I just dropped about $2500 aud. on the fine folks at Reband for one of their new pipes for the R3T.

Don't y'all blow the lot of it on pies and grog now ya'hear
 
Let us know how they work out and maybe a sound clip so I can help out your economy too.

How nice of you. If you feel like helping some more, you can order a set for the Roadster for me...

Tell ya what @LimeyDave . If the lotto ticket in my wallet hits tonight, you are in there like swimwear. Heck a 175,000,000 to 1 chance is slightly better than nothing. Well, actually I guess that they are about the same thing really.

Yeah I hate it when I get pelted with.......(hang on a second while I go look up what gibbers are in the OZ slang dictionary.... nope, not even in 3 or 4 different versions.) Oh well, whatever they are, it don't sound like any fun to be pelted with them.

I guess that if any whatever them things are start getting pelted at me at 0500 I will just fire up the old antique straight piped Harley for a couple of days so they will know how good that they had it with the R3.

@TOMCAT How many meters of what width LavaWrap did you have to use to wrap the header pipes on the Team Ponters exhaust?

Ok a little more research has turned up 3 definitions:

1) Gibber. A giant butt. Usually well toned and overall very attractive. Look at the gibber on that girl. ... Gibbers deriving from gibbering, deriving from shivering

2)intr.v. gib·bered, gib·ber·ing, gib·bers. To prattle and chatter unintelligibly. n. Unintelligible or foolish talk. [Imitative.] American Heritage® Dictionary of the English

3)A desert pavement, also called reg (in the western Sahara), serir (eastern Sahara), gibber (in Australia), or saï (central Asia)[1] is a desert surface covered with closely packed, interlocking angular or rounded rock fragments of pebble and cobble size

#1 I really don't see that as much of a down side

#2 Sounds like a normal day at work

#3 Yeah, that don't sound like very much fun.
 
Gibbers means rocks/stones kind of meant that post for my fellow Aussies, sorry. I have a custom made steel heat-shield on my Rebands. Ponters had them made but had to have a new set of larger diameter headers made.
