Fitted my DP cat eliminator pipes yesterday.... It was much easier last time I did this on my last bike. Couldn't get the joint loose in place on the rear down pipe. Took about 1.5 hrs to get the damm thing off in the end... I was screaming blue murder and nearly had 2 black eyes from my other half....
Once off fitted the DP pipework and then the arrow cans. After a hour of not being happy about the closess of the rear tyre to the DP pipes I relented and actually listened to what my other half was saying, "when you came off on the other bike didn't the cans get pushed in by the rear foot peg bracket."
Oh well suppose she was right, looked much better when I bent the exhaurst bracket straight.
Have also fitted one of those MPL clutch cylinders things which mount on the engine, Clutch feels mutch smoother and easier to pull in with left hand, So hoping for easier time when stuck around town.
Took her out today for a ride and loved it. Knew the replacement bike felt a bit stuffier as standard, now I have put the arrows on it feels less restricted.
