Slip On (Pt2) - Drax - 05-04-14
Well, after much deliberation I decided to buy a Remus Extra Short Powercone ( Satin black with polished End Cap.)
I mentioned this at my local Yam dealers whilst booking my bike in to have a new rear tyre fitted. (12/3/14) - Only just noticed that it was a Spooky date!! :eek
"Can we quote you for a price Mr Drax? From our supplier (Calsport) we can get it for £412-00(inc delivery)." I can get it from MotorSportsWorld for £404-00 (delivered)"
"No problem Mr Drax we'll knock it off the fitting charge"
At this point I must state that I'm having them both fitted at the dealers as:
1) I'm not going to even entertain changing a tyre myself
2) I trust this(my local) dealer to do a good job of fitting everything as they prepare Kevin Sanders bikes for his epic journeys ( I know mine won't get the same attention but....read on...)
Anyway for some reason there was going to be a delay in the delivery of the Remus exhaust (approx 3 weeks as the supplier is waiting for some parts to be delivered?)
No problem as I wasn't planning to get my bike out of storage until about now anyway.
Receive a call on Thu (03/04/14) - not too spooky - saying that Remus no longer manufacture this can.....Aaaaaarrrgggggghhhh!!!!!!! :wall
To make a long story longer:
I entered the interweb & decided to purchase a Mivv GP Carbon from BR special Tuning. (After a couple of recommendations on here) Ordered it on Thursday & it arrived on Friday morning.
The icing on the cake is that after waiting 3 weeks to be told it is discontinued - I can't book my bike in until 14/04/14 - Fairly Spooky!!
Go somewhere else I hear you say!! Bit difficult when I put down a £300-00 deposit for my (discontinued) Remus exahust. :o
Will upload pics as soon as everything is fitted.
If you're still reading this......Thanks for persevering! :thumbup
