Yes it is . I first saw them on the motorbike show on tv and followed up from there . They mainly tune race bikes and test the output on new models for Fast Bikes magazine . It's not a huge place but the line of race bikes parked outside minus their engines and totally shredded tyres does start to give an idea of what they do and listening to each run definitely inspires confidence as the engine becomes crisper and crisper . They will only tune via pcv tho . The first time I used them it was hard to get a conversation out of them , but to my pleasure they remembered me from last time and opened up to my questions with far more information than I could actually take in . When I enquired about tune ecu he told me they use it for diagnostics and setting parameters but would never advise anyone to tune from it due to discrepancies in the software . Discovered by destroying a couple of race engines . He went on to explain the limitations of ecus and ATs but I think he noticed my eyes glaze over with information overload . @barbagris would love it there coz his brain is a sponge ! As for the Hagons ? I really like them . I think they are more than adequate for the R3 .Yes you can spend big money for Wilburs with high and low speed comp damping and infinate rebound adjustments but unless your Leon Haslam you would need a tech to set them up for you . I have lost a lot of weight so could now say they are slightly over sprung but I like that . All in all a great buy thanks !

I thought they were great for my budget,just too hard for me ,put the money from yours towards a new pair matched to my weight and I’m really pleased with them.
I just picked up a new pc3 for less than £80 delivered but I guess they can’t/ won’t tune with that? As you can tell I like to do cheap if possible lol, runs ok with a generic tune ecu tune ,but never going to be as good as a Dyno tune specific to your bike.
Running pretty strong but went to Westonzoyland yesterday to a National Sprint Association meet and it stalled a couple of times in traffic,been tinkering with the clearance on the stepper motor and getting the TPS voltages cock on, motor pulls well but now has this stalling issue!

Nath it is beautiful, you have done such a fine job, you really are clever, and there is no problem you can not work out or fix, and thanks to these guys input too I know really helps, and even if u spend hours in your man cave and I've hardly seen u the last half a yeah as I know you've been really busy , so I don't bother u , but I'm still sitting there at the end of the day waiting for u to come home, angry at you or not, it's still a relief, your my true friend @Nat67

And he's very lucky to have you.

Job well done Nat! I just got to the end where you are showing off your work. Is that the seat your friend was working on? I love the rear fender as well.

 

[CamaroCarl]

Wow Nat, the bike looks great. The k and n filters and cut bearclaw turned out awesome. Love the chopped rear fender (really think I'm going to have to do that to mine). I think black headers with chrome shields will look good. Really nice combination of black and chrome. Glad to hear it's running strong. Well done.

So why do the pRatt pipes cost so much in the get up and go figures?

God I would love to answer that - but I promised always to be civil - well civil-ish.
Basically his pipes are "designed" first and foremost to look nice.

I think he noticed my eyes glaze over with information overload . @barbagris would love it there coz his brain is a sponge !

It's getting a bit waterlogged now though. More to the point it's full of "Windows". I may need a session of Marconi Union's "Weightless" to dry out before doing any soaking up.

Did you have to step the pipes down to use the Plat pipes?

Did you have to step the pipes down to use the Plat pipes?

No the Platts go onto stock headers. The CES are available with either a collector outlet to match stock crossover pipe diameter and position as used with cat free TORs etc or wider if you want a longer single sided or twin CES or other aftermarket muffler system.

Those CES were originally mine with a stock collector outlet size, they were mated with a pair of stainless mufflers and cat free crossover that went to another happy owner on the forum.

I quite like the colour of the CES as they are now @Nat67 but go back to black heat shields on the headers. The chrome version goes that colour anyway with use and it saves polishing them repeatedly.
