Hi all,
Just had the bike through it's MOT.
Only thing that cropped up was a slight blow on the downpipe collector under the engine. Garage put some sealant on for me but it's going to need replaced. Time for some nice stainless steel downpipes (still got the original mild steel ones on it).
So recommendations for the downpipes sought? Delkevic and Motad have both been mentioned in the past. Is one better at fitting than the other? Better quality, etc Which of those tow, or another brand, do you recommend?
Secondly, as I'm unable to do the work myself due to some medical issues (Shoulder surgeries plus other things) , can anyone recommend me a good place to take it to get the exhaust work done? Anywhere in North or Central Bristol would be ideal, as that's where I'm based.
(I'm giving up on my current garage as they've made one or two slip ups in the past, one left me with no front brakes when I rode off after a tyre change, the other left me with no power doing 70 in the outside lane of a dual carriageway (they forgot to reconnect the fuel tank after an air filter change during a service)
The fiancée was less than happy about that last one as she was a few cars behind me on the dual carriageway and got the fright of her life as I was dodging traffic to pull in.
I also intend to pick up some PlusGas or similar to help loosen the nuts on the exhaust and treat the bike to it for a good few days before I take it anywhere to have the work done, might as wel try and make it easy for the mechanic eh? Anyone make any recommendations on what or where to get it?
So any recommendations for downpipes, Bristol mechanics, PlusGas?
Thanks to the group mind for letting me pick it's brains
