exhaust and bellypan

RC30 style exhaust fitted, looks good and sound good, there is a slight obstruction where one down pipe merges with another, the hole cut into one pipe needs opening out. The other main worry is the oil containment bellpan, Ive been cutting and fiddling with this. I have sort of got it right, just need to let the resin det properly over night then i can start using filler to merge it all together.

new exhaust coming

Well after lots if pondering and fiddling and realising that the current exhaust is too low and that my umpteen attempts to quieten the beast Ive succumbed to ordering an rc30 style, let hand side system, the only one I could find was from Sandy Bike Spares...lets wait and see, hopefully from a few photos it looks tighter against the oilpan.....not 3 inches!...if only I had done this months back but I'm trying to keep the costs from spiraling out of control. Atleast I will know that it will pass scutineering but will it effect my jetting...

Fairing underside cut down, a sump catch pan will fit above the exhaust and under the sump......

99% but!

























99% complete!..............apart from the bottom fairing..........too low, may have to rethink how to create a oil tray, the exhaust is too low making the lower fairing too low

not a comfy seat



The wife tries the seat out

getting closer to the end!

Forks on, yokes, tightened up, fairing re-fit.....cablke tied a few things to avoid the yokes hitting the oil cooler hoses, have to tweak the front brake master cyclinder bracket as when I originally lined things up it I hadnt taken into account it was the wrong one and slightly taller in the process. getting near to a shake down...tyres next!.....trying to source spare wheels but may have to wait, no rush at the mo.
