Nice, I'm in the process of replacing my oval termis with some round ones.
Is that the standard header pipe? I've got a nice polished one I'll swap you. It will match the pipe.

[Char]

Better late than never - mirrors are Rizoma by the way Slob.

Big thanks to Richard at Maxtons for fitting & setting up my shock (and for the fun we had getting on and off the trailer) - its been lowered by 1" and has a remote - carbon side panel needs a bit of shaping to fix round so tempoary fix at present..

:woot: woo you got it, nice one, cant wait to see it in the flesh

[utopia]

Have you shortened the cans, too ?

[Capo]

Have you shortened the cans, too ?

Tapered cans are almost impossible to shorten as the diameter changes and the caps wont fit.

[gary tompkins]

Have you shortened the cans, too ?
The Zard's end cans are very short as standard

[Char]

Leave my Zards out of this - staying as they are :twak:

[Rally]

Well done Char. All you need now is a carbon hugger to protect it from the crud!:shocked:

[utopia]

Yes, and for that reason I thought it was unlikely, but couldn't quite decide from the pics whether just an inch or so had been lost.
In the end I just had to ask.
Should've gone to specsavers !!

Looks VERY nice.

[He11cat]

Jolly good show Char!

Dang I keep getting shiny bits and I hate polishing things me !!
Used to be one of the matt black brigade and something infected me with shiny genetics and it all went horribly Pete Tong :) get used to polishing away ... :)

[Char]

Now I have this unit I really ought to replace the carbon hugger - has anyone found one that will fit with a set of Zards and not melt or detatch itself - was looking at these

Whats yours like with flat Bars Char? - Is steering more responsive etc...?

[Rally]

That winter salt gets everywhere doesn't it, it's made the forks go all black. :mand:

Looking good so far.:thumbsup:

[Char]

I dont have flat bars, though am considering changing, maybe not this year!

[jimz750]

I dont have flat bars, though am considering changing, maybe not this year!
For what reason?

[Char]

When I say change I meant for some black Rizoma ones...

Waiting to get it back and see what it rides like before I change anything else

[Char]

Hoping to get back from sprayers on Saturday.. few more bits and bobs to add.. should be ready for Nelsons Diner :look: everything crossed

looking really good, quite impressed tbh

[Rally]

When are they painting the 'extras' on it then, or are you leaving it plain black now?

[JerryT]

Looking v. cool in black Char...

[Qba]

Fulfill your dark side... :)
Awesome looking bike.

[Capo]

I cant figure out how that bike is standing upright without a stand :confused:

[J.P]

Very nice, almost the same system that I've had for a few years. You're number plate will get very sooty.
And you've got the baffles in right ? Zard weld them in and it's a right bugger to get them out.
And if you do, they are sooooooo loud.

[Char]

Zards have been on a while - no sooty problems - no tail chop - sorry cant hear you - did you say baffles????:o

Riders did a nice job of getting it running well with the original filter etc

Its that old black magic :devil:
