at least he told you he was coming I was on the list and still waiting after he said he would get in touch and let me know where and when very disappointed after every one saying to get it done

Re: Thanks - devilsyam - 21-09-13

with the exception of the above bitter comment (TAKE IT UP WITH MIKE BEFORE MAKING ACID COMMENTS THERE MAY WELL HAVE BEEN A GOOD REASON)

Re: Thanks - fazerblue - 21-09-13

sorry was not ment to sound bitter just disappointed that I was not told after waiting for months for his reply

Re: Thanks - nick crisp - 21-09-13

Soooooooooo pleased to report, Mike, stutter has....GONE!!
A big thankyou from me, Mike, and another thankyou to Luke for hosting this session.
I actually enjoyed the heavy traffic through Bath on the way home, as there was no snatchiness, just smooth response everywhere. Can now use the gears freely in town, and as for the open road - b****r me! Lets just say the A4 unwound like a movie on fast forward, and thank God there are no speed cameras there anymore!

Anyone got a set of 2003 R1 front forks?........ :lol

Rik, it's a Scorpion "Red power" in carbon, baffle removed. Has a nice deep burble at low revs, so doesn't upset the neighbours too much, but when the bike comes on cam, it wails man! Personally, I'd prefer it to have a shorter link pipe, but I don't think I can just cut it down as it flares ever so slightly to accept the can, and it may also end up at the wrong angle when all clamped up. Haven't had it dyno'd, probably won't as I'm just happy with the results, and need to spend on other things!

This is the best photo I've got of it at the mo...

Re: Thanks - rik - 21-09-13

nice bike nick last owner of mine did the ivan and its got a quill but im not 100% if its good  :evil

Re: Thanks - nick crisp - 21-09-13

Yeah, I like that can Rik, looks similar to the SP Engineering one Exupnut's got on his. I didn't go for a shorty cos I thought it'd be too loud, but I might change my mind  :rolleyes  If I do, I'll have 3 spares sat in the garage!  :rolleyes :rolleyes

Re: Thanks - nick crisp - 21-09-13

Cheers Luke
Does that seem a bit cheap to you? (Sorry, got a suspicious mind when it comes to Ebay and not seeing things in the flesh).
In other words, d'you reckon they'd be worth the risk?

P.S. I am soooo tempted!

Re: Thanks - nick crisp - 21-09-13

Luke, you have PM.

Re: Thanks - slimwilly - 22-09-13

Nik, have you PM'd Luke to see if he will lend you three hundred quid? :lol

Re: Thanks - cable tie - 22-09-13
