That's lovely... my only bug bear with it is the chavvy end can. Not too keen on the black pipes either so i reckon a full stainless system and thatd be perfect

Four into one system were first used on the track and were always black and remained that way until stainless was introduced, as they were custom made from mid steel and just painted, nothing chavvy about them, that's how they were.


Now a chrome system made for the masses and the road, that's chavvy  :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin [

Re: The cool bike thread...... - Gnasher - 11-04-20

This is chavvy

No I meant the actually end can.... you trying to tell me that having 'nitro racing' written in big letters on your pipe is not chavvy ?
Could have forgiven the black pipes, I just prefer stainless as it looks more aesthetic and less like you've got the hammerite out ??

Re: The cool bike thread...... - Gnasher - 11-04-20

I'll give you that  :thumbup


Black is how they were, track side.  Common systems for the road at the time, Piper being one of the most common in the UK, was chrome but it was for the road and masses.  Interestingly Kawasaki 80's sports bikes returned to what was called black chrome, looked great but didn't last long on the down tubes, real buggers to stop looking naff.

Re: The cool bike thread...... - Dudeofrude - 12-04-20

Now this is a bit more my cup of tea... although let's not mention the end can ?? haha

Re: The cool bike thread...... - Gnasher - 12-04-20

I can appreciate the work, but it does nothing for me I'm afraid.  I've ridden a few, the one's I rode were awful, in just about every respect.

The only thing that spoils this for me is the bulkiness of the pillion area of the seat,apart from that,very nice. :thumbup

Eddie Lawson style racing seat, not a big fan myself.  But it was the only way to keep the rider from sliding off the back in what was WSBK/Prodie of it's day.
