I admit I probably cleaned it a little too much, but it has been used as well, about 15K in the photo; Nurbergring, Spain, Switzerland, Italy etc.
I think they may have changed the design of the pipes. The ones I had did away with the rubber mounting behind the engine. Instead they bolted on via the plate and odd fitting the cat was attached to and then via a rubber bush to the subframe mount.

Thank you for the links and the photo. Great to see such help and that old biking traditions are still there. I hope you all wave or give a nod at passing bikers - I used to when I was in my 20's (not too long ago) and always got a wave back. Now I get either a wave or a strange look (must be aimed at the rider as it can't be the bike, unless that look is jealousy).
Thanks again to everyone, and here goes for the weekend ahead.

Blimey that's a bit of a session ! They are the best fitting exhaust I've ever fitted. I sold mine to Gijs ( throttlemeister) a few weeks back and other than being dirty ( sorry about that Gijs

) They were still perfect and fitted like a glove. The key to it is fit and join everything losely then tighten !
Anyway welcome to the fold

Staintune Exhausts

Neighbours thought they were good as well, especially when I started the bike up at 9:30 pm on Sunday night.
They were all cheering (well at least that what I thought they were doing - but I couldn't hear them for the noise of the exhausts!!)
