    Well only in as much as it pops in flush and you have to pop it out again...it does lockby key.

    I took a lockable one off if you want it!

    Sorry Matt, do you use a key to lock it or is it just twist to lock?
    What type of lockable did you take off? Pic if poss, please.
    Biggy! I might take you up on it if all else fails tho I do like the flush one.

    Sorry didn't explain very well! The last bit was meant to be doesn't lock by key!

    Just screws to shut!

    The one I took off is in the before photo...is the same as biggys just the little rotating triumph disc that hides the key hole has been broken off at some point...don't know how as this was the one that came on the bike!

    So I have just picked up a set of TORS so looking to fit them myself early next week...any suggestions/tips/exactly how to do it...??

    This is the first proper job I'm attempting so as idiot proof as possible would be awesome!!

    So have now done the exhaust...fitted tors end cans. What are your thoughts on having the engine remapped...worth it or not?

    And...

    In terms of rear shocks, any recommendations? Was looking at the TECs in delboys vid so anyone got any thoughts on them??
