    Did the exhaust mod. I'm keeping the standard exhaust as I think the after market ones are either offensively loud or don't look right. Plus I can't afford to change it anyway.
    I'm pleasantly surprised at the difference it makes. It has quite a nice time on idle..and took about 3minutes to do .

    Yeah, please explain, BB? It's that flapper thing half the guys disable with the servo controller?

    Step by step instructions will be fine:).

    That's the one. Just unclip the servo cable and the exhaust flap stays open.
    Far to many videos about it on you tube all ready.

    Bloody hell, @Lozzy! Do you have to think so practically?

    Dont forget Mirrors too...they've been setting fire to houses in this hot weather!!

    In fact if I were you I'd have a practise emergency drill to see how long it takes you to wheel them all to safety!

    Don't. ...go....back...for....the...cat...cushion

    :D

    I am sure I could move 2 Blades and the MV in the time it takes to move the VF1000R. At 224 kilos it is a beast - especially doing 28-point turns to manoeuvre it into place. On the positive side, it holds the road really well!

    I wonder what the home insurance people would say to all this petrol powered machinery INSIDE the house :eek: ...lol. I reckon the premiums *might* increase somewhat.

    Yes, I wondered about this very point after @Lozzy raised the chip pan fire issue. I am rifling through policies to check for exclusions. The logical person would ask: 'What's the difference of risk between a lounge room and a garage?' The insurance broker would sprout off 100 answers!:rolleyes:

    What you'all don't realise is that my cat cushion is labelled 'highly inflammable'. The bikes carry no such warning:D.
