replacing downpipes

[clayt74]

those one are R&G, they certainly were not the cheapest, i think i paid about £60 delivered.
they were the very first thing i added to the bike cos i have to push it out quite an awkward space each morning and was paranoid of dropping it without even getting out to the road :o .

I had read some people saying that the cheaper bungs can cause more damage than good by causing the frame to twist???
I chose the R&G cos the have machined blocks that spread across both engine mounting bolts and fit solid against the frame (IMO spreading any impact across the strongest point of frame/engine)
they came with all fixings and in principle are easy to just bolt on, but i had slight alignment problems and a couple of the bolts need slight persuasion.
