Hi All

Post by jackson7715 »

Good evening all.

Hi im Mat.

Thought id finally say hello after joining and asking a few questions last week.

Well ive got the storm! A very long day. Was up since 0600, travelled up to Macclesfield from Ipswich. Then rode the bike back. Got back at 2000!

A little cold, as the temps dropped from what was a lovely day today.

1998 bike, 14800 miles on it. Looks to be original CCT fitted still as well.

My first v twin, wow shes loud! I wernt expecting it. Pipes might help a little tho. And will take some getting used to the engine braking and the vibes.🤗

Those MIG's are getting rare now, the only carbon cans with thick enough sleeves to stand up to the exhaust pulses, so keep them safe.
They sound much better if you shorten them by 100 mm and "forget" to put baffle material in....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
