    LOUD! No idea sorry. Stunning sound but too loud without the baffle and too raspy for my liking with it fitted. Can't win I guess!

    I've just been up the garage and removed the arrow (not selling it at the moment sorry) and fitted my new eBay bargain 0 mile 2010 pipe with new PowerBronze sleeve. I didn't reconnect the flap so it sounds quite sweet. I kinda like it!! :)

    Cheers Kevin, it's pretty much standard really albeit for some carbon trinkets and a little powder coat but in my opinion thats what makes it personal. Also when you're ready to sell something like this it's nice to be able to point the prospective owners at threads like this to show the level of care lavished on your vehicle.:D

    Right then, this thread needs updating.

    I managed to get a pair of PP Tuning folding levers from good ole eBay

    [​IMG]

    I got Motografix to personalise their design somewhat to incorporate a red pinstripe edge and remove those stupid wings from the smaller decal. This is what they sent me as a proof

    [​IMG]

    ...and fitted.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Purchased a used gear indicator off here which is a welcome addition.

    [​IMG]

    Got a set of R&G engine covers and a pair of Honda Racing fairing sliders both second hand.

    [​IMG]

    I changed the exhaust once again, this time for a Yoshi R77 and fitted a Bazzaz ZFi, again both second hand!!
    I got a second hand seat from eBay for £13 and got it covered at Diggers Seats in Newport South Wales for £85

    ...and finally this evening I fitted my 2012 rear shock from @foenix on here along with my Braking wave rear disc.

    The shock is a big improvement even if it is 2012 OEM, more "feel", well that's my opinion. Had a go on a work colleagues 2013 blade and it was better on the back end than my RR9.

    Well, been out and have to say that the shock is a brilliant upgrade. So much more composed and doesn't 'patter' like the old one on bumps and undulations. Handles dips and bigger bumps in the road with more composure and without firing my arse out of the seat. It feels far smoother.

    The tale is in the proof. 12-15 mile and no chicken strips.

    Blah, blah, blah, yeah, I know. :D
    I was surprised that I never had to cut my hugger though. I know i was purchased second hand off here but either I had gotten a 2012 one by mistake or the powerbronze ones fit both early and later bikes.

    I do actually prefer standard fella. Just fine for me. I did make reference of them though and will revisit this once I have done a few miles on board.

    Told ya no.2 ... ;)

    I didn't need to cut my hugger either but then it's a Rexpeed unit which has a bigger slot.

    Standard compression and rebound is fine ... On track use half turn more comp but watch the rebound. Preload 5 is fine for me but your a big lad so might need 6 ... ;) Suck it and see. :D
