My approach to exhaust is money and weight saver.
Just remove the silencer :)
lost around 5kg and got 2hp :D

my bike with OEM silencer:
Without silencer with just a exhaust tip:
 
Sorry clovis, know what you mean by gasket now. Yeah you don't need that.

I don't know how different the s.c exhaust is to the remus, but I did need sealant. A fella who works on the trains give me the stuff. It smells and stinks when you first put it on and sets, but I have no exhaust leaks. Just with the clamp, It wasn't enough for a 100% seal. That's my experience anyway.

QS is amazing! A little jerky under 4k, but they are ment to be used with wide open throttle. Plus, they are a performance mod, not for convince. Worth the £170, fun, and sound amazing with a loud can.
 
Anyone recommend a strong degreaser for washing bikes? Something that will cut through a few months worth of grease and road crap, and something cheap as I'll use a fair bit of it on the CB400 :D

Don't really want to waste £20 with of sdoc100 on it!! :D

If I can pick it up locally even better, there must be some pound shop/Halfords brand stuff that does to the job well.

Elbow grease : best £1 you can spend on any cleaning product.

That is the real name of the product not a wind up.

I know ;)

It was the old joke to play on the apprentice, send them to the store for some elbow grease or various other items. Doesn't work now they've made it into an actual product though!! :D

Which one did you go for? Genuine triumph? I had the translogic one but it cost me £300.
 
@IC3 there is a breakers up the road from me, I can see how much they would want for some bars if you like? Uncrashed obviously haha
If you don't mind, I'm only interested in the standard OEM Bars that go on SV's, Bandit's, Hornets etc. They're all the same pretty much.

He has loads of stuff, do you have a part number or the years of bikes you want to be looked at, or just SV bars? Is yours a K5?
I'll give him a ring tomorrow mate :)

They're all the same, I think even the curvy even had them. So any Naked SV up to whenever they made them. I spoke to Suzuki today, as they have a little warehouse and said all the bars are pretty much the same from bandits, SVs to Hornets etc.

Could you also ask him about ZX10R 06-07 Rear Shock? If not possibly ZX6R 04-05. TA! :)

Just put gentle pressure on the gear lever, shut throttle and the gear will pop in on its own. Its really easy to do clutchless upshifts. Same with Rev Matching on downshifts...

That's mine basically. Yeah second hand.

Edit: Had fun trying to get the screw caps on the front calipers off getting to the caliper retaining pins. The flat head was butchering it, gave up. Watching TV and remembered I have impact driver, came out no problem. Put loads of copper grease on them and put them back in. Can happily sort front brakes out at a later date.
