A titanium side pipe of small proportion but big diameter opening.

Sounds familar!

It will exit on the left of the bike.

Looking fab dahling!I do like a good fettle.
Can you explain reasoning behind trick battery location and new header pipes.Did the bottom clamp break??
Have you remorgaged the house or are back on with that passionate love affair with your mechanic.

Thank you sweetie!
Big heavy battery now at low COG,makes room for better intake system.Old headers mangled,so i thought why not have a custom set made while i,m at it.Bottom and top clamps are weedy affairs,new stronger ones will help stiffen up the front end nicely.Oh and they look great!

Have you any idea how much money you can get for selling your body?

Doesn't you're brother in law have (or had) a Kawasaki with hoover tubes for intakes

From what we can see so far Gus it's looking promising. I really like the look of that tail unit, very sleek and losing the top weight of th battery and cans I like your thinking.

Look forward to further progress pics !
