Thank you Roadrocket, I must say I quite like the sound of the pipe, but a big thanks for the offer all the same.
It is nice to be heard by motorists, without being so loud as to cause a nuisance.
I am impressed by the reasonable price of the pipe, & good build quality, it is a straightforward bit of kit, & fitted nicely, giving the bike a bit of character when on the throttle, yet still not intruding at motorway pace too much, I would imagine it too much with the baffle removed though!
After a few hundred miles I am starting to love the bike, great for mile munching in comfort, great for back lane scratching, & carries a passenger in a composed way, still maintaining nimble handling in the twisty bits, aunt Sally loves it & that's good enough for me.
