    Well you already had a very warm welcome! Welcome from me as well, you deserve it cause you have a beauty there. I've bought the silver T120 cause I also didn't want to wait, hihi:D
    But I'm loving her just as much, and I can always give her a makeover.

    Hi, yes I can’t wait just a matter of getting it done now, not sure I fancy doing it so putting it in the garage to have done!
    It came with the Vance&Hines so super excited to get this mod done in the next few weeks

    Thank you, yes totally agree, patience not my strongest suit. Doesn’t matter now, really enjoying it, a little bit here and little bit there seems to be quite addicting. One of the beauties of this bike is making it your own.

    It’s not too bad a job it took me about two and a half hours nd you get to know your bike tinkering with it . The x pipe certainly frees the engine up you won’t regret it . Enjoy your riding

    Certainly agree with that Martin, i think it’s as much about time for me at the moment. Have you also fitted a Booster plug also or power commander?
    If so what’s your thoughts?

    Hi Goonergoose
    No I didn’t fit a power commander the ECU are clever enough to recalibrate the mixture I just let the bike warm up after fitting the x pipe then took it for a gentle ride and it was running perfect within half a mile

    Well the long and short of it is. It makes your bike super smooth at low speed, it takes away the slightly snatchy response when applying throttle executing low speed manoeuvres, ie in a car park, roundabouts etc.

    Wow you will have the "black" brigade on the war path with comments like "I don't like black"! Get out your hard hat mate.

    Ha Ha, wessa, quite right too.

    Nothing wrong with black but at my age I can't see it in the dark! So just not for me......
