Fitted a pair of Pipewerx carbon cans last night to my Speedie, matches the new carbon rear hugger too. Sounds grunty, smooth and full of zest. Pics will forllow in due course.
Took delivery of my stage 1 torque kit and Tec Sprint exhaust, shall be locking myself in the garage with my Bonnie tomorrow, wish me luck!
Dont forget your laptop, and you had better tell her indoors, as they think there's usually only one thing a guys doing locked away with a laptop!! Good luck!!
So this morning, my bike sounded like this Pipewerx exhaust - without baffle Me thinks the baffles will be going back in...
Yeah, I may have overcompensated for the cr4p sound quality of YouTube! I used my new toy, a Zoom h2n in a pocket to record the sound, but it seems I have the gain turned up too high as it isn't anywhere as loud in reality and is more crisp
sorry, what was that? Yeah, I can't edit the message on my phone to put a warning on there, I will do later. I am sure you know all the sighn language you need to get by
Took 8 hrs but removed snorkel, O2 sensors & fitted air filters etc, installed Tec sprint 2-2 exhaust still have the remap to do in the morning, hope tune 4 from Twin Power is correct. Have not done the SAI sensors yet but not sure if I can handle it tomorrow as need to get out & ride before the weekend finishes & its back to the grind. Wife is peed off that could we could not get out on bike to watch Red Arrows. Do I scrub the weekend & do the SAI sensors tomorrow & have done with it or save it for another day. Does anyone know if the remap will have to be done again if I leave the SAI sensors to another day?
You won't have to remap but you might have to connect up the laptop just to turn off engine management light, depending which way you do tha sai removal. Check delboys sai removal video
It's all done SAI removed and tune done, sounds awesome on the quick test ride. Rest up for half an hour whilst sun comes out to dry the roads up a bit more and take her out for a proper run
I stripped all the brakes, cleaned and replaced brake fluid, took tank off to see if the tank vibration was loose air box ( I know it was highly unlikely!) checked plugs and changed coolant. Now if I can only bloody prop the front off the forks to adjust head bearings I'll be happy. Other than that she's running OK. On and the rear cush rubbers are almost fubar so ordering some tomorrow.

Put a 2012 Daytona rear shock and a set of R forks and brakes on my Striple. Next up is bleeding the brakes and dialling the settings in to my weight.
Driving along at a nice steady 'bimble' (40 ish in a 40 zone) about 50 to 75 yards behind a nice Volvo estate when young(ish) smart arse in a Scoobie-Do comes honking up the road and has to force his way between me and said Volvo to avoid the oncoming traffic. Dab the brakes, shake my head and mutter some expletives, back off his rear end. Nowhere for Scoobie to go for about a mile and half, then blue flashing lights and an LED sign appear on Volvo. Volvo plus Scoobie pull into lay-by no doubt for a long, deep conversation. Oh Happy Day. About an hour later on my way back, same Volvo some three or four cars behind me, follows me home. As I was taking my lid off our wonderful boys come down the drive and ask if it was me who got cut up by a numpty in a Subaru, my reply, a polite "yes officer". It was quite a shock when he asked if I was OK. What a nice chap, told me they got him for his crap driving, exhaust too loud, dodgy lights and no tax, and already has 12 points, oh how sad is that.
Went to the Stratford bike night tonight. I think the rain put many off as only about 10 bikes turned up. Last time I went, there was a coupe, of hundred. Pissed down on the way home, at least it proved my gear was water proof.
He'll get a years ban and be back driving within a week with all the above plus no insurance, which wouldn't have covered him anyway, if he had some
Ade, there's plenty on the roads with 12+ points, it's all down to having a good shyster in court who can bull$#!t, sorry plead a good case about how sorry you are, you might loose your job, house, wife etc.
Just spent 2days getting to the Picos mountains in Spain. Weathers been a bit off and on, wet one minute hot the next. 3 days of exploring coming up.
Boarding Brittany Ferries for Cherbourg. Wet trip to Portsmouth but on b oard and away. Parked up by a tidy Scrambler!
