but I hope those members of a broader church will find this interesting and thus find it in their hearts to forgive me. 
Cheers Al, and yes, you're right, white wheels+chain drive=not a good mix. I do love a bit of colour and brightness mind and just fell in love with this bike when I saw it at the NEC bike show in 2010. Some may say it's got a bit of a 'Pat Collins's Circus' look about it. Probably appeals to the 'clown' in me then.Blackal wrote:That's a neat exhaust solution - I was straining to see it at the begining of the first video.
A bonnie bike - that............... not sure I fancy the white wheels with chain-drive, mind.
What chain-lube do you use?

The only thing that did spoil it (for me) was the fact that Honda dropped the under-seat exhaust of previous 'blades in favour of a 'Grenade Launcher' on the off-side so, it had to go, and even though these 'Taylormade' slip-ons have a mixed reputation concerning quality and performance issues, I think they're the best looking after-market exhaust out there.
a can. It comes highly recommended so I'm giving that a 'go'.
and it will break my heart to let it go.

Reckon the old FartBlood looks great in that colour Nick. About an hour after having a squiz at your Youtube stuff my nextdoor neighbour's brother turned up on one the same colour! His was the slow version, mind - sans rimtape...

Nothing to forgive Nick I love that company. Not a bad looking mod that, Erik Buell has a lot to be thanked for and I would buy a KTM RC8 for the belly pan zorst alone.el-nicko wrote:.

.... .... I hear what your saying TTT but it's bound to happen sooner or later isn't it. It's Sod's Law. And there is the muck from countless farm machines down there too. YUK!Hang on minute Nicko. You say in your video that that you have just bolted the Taylor made exhaust on and want to fire it up to make sure its all OK before you put it (the bike) all back together. How come all the bodywork is back on then?? Me thinks you was fibbin.el-nicko wrote:.

My dear, dear DT, I'm prepared to overlook you accusing me of being 'economical with the actualities' but I think it's you who's eyes are doing the deceiving and you may wish to book yourself in to 'Specsavers'Dog Tyred wrote:

Nice sound mind....for a H*nda

then, suitably equipped, you will no doubt notice in the first video the tank cover, (Honda calls it a 'Top Shelter') saddle and running (dip beam) lights, all needed attending to before it got to the finished bike in the second video.
