...Me to fit my newly refurbished Jardine system .
Needed a bit love and time when I got it But I'm super happy with the way its turned out .
The past few days in the south east have been glorious 20 - 25 degrees centigrade perfect weather to test the new pipes and some other stuff and ride some warm dry roads .Nirvana.
The pipes sound great its lost none of its midrange maybe gained a couple of pony's up top but revs some much cleaner and easier from 5000- 6500 rpm and pulls like a train as I also installed a special sauce Hanso Tune I got sometime ago .
Also ditched the standard radiator expansion tank and drilled some holes in the bear claw to allow the old girl to suck as much o2 as possible .
As you can see I opted for a hard core no heat shield look trust me when I tell you this is not for the faint hearted the first minute in traffic it gets as hot as the outer rim of the sun the second minute its as hot as the centre of the sun after that I wimped out and started turning the motor off if standing still too long .
But you only feel it traffic otherwise you don't notice .
Couple of other things Avon Cobras are awesome forgot what warm rods and hot tyres felt like .
Shoei GT Air Santa got me is excellent it has the flip down dark visor built in and of course a Pin lock visor insert that like some kind of magic trick the way that works very light and well made .
Got a new Jacket today that has ALL safety features you would want but does not really look like a bike jacket very comfy and works really well even has a water proof inner liner and can be worn off the bike .
Done 240 miles on the Rocket toady love it
