Re: Your thoughts on this?
Not a fan, it doesn't look right with the link pipes going around the outside of the swingarm.

Re: Um... help. I think... though maybe not?
Maybe a vacuum leak somewhere?.I'm sure that would cause it to run lean and thus get more mpg.

I just had to tweak the brake hose mountings a little as the banjo bolt needs a couple of mm to reach the caliper better.
