    Now the bike show has been and gone and quite a few went to it, I wondered if many people actually got any bargains while they were there? As didn't see many to be honest.

    this is the first NEC I went not wanting lots of things. I never find many great bargains apart from Helmets that I have bought at the show

    So was not really looking myself

    How much was the Racefit? Is that a carbon growler?

    Certainly is !
    Did a cash deal with John, £450 shipped, including the carbon infill panel, I'm sure some of the guys here may have managed an even better deal but I thought it was a good price
    considering you'd be looking at £537 for pipe & baffle & £80 for the infill.
    Piece of piss to fit, "fruity" with the baffle in, obnoxious with it out !

    That's not bad at all. They offered me one at £425 collected with baffle.

    That was with the magic vat ;)

    I know people say they are noisy but I've yet to see a better looking exhaust on a blade... Stunning

    It's not that loud TBH, only slightly louder than the Leo Vince GP EVO I had on the old blade. I would imagine that riding everywhere without the baffle could make you go a bit mental though...

    Got a pair of Honda Kevlar jeans for £100.00 and a nice Honda shirt for £30.00 reduced from £69.95.

    I was happy.
