Cheers.
Hopefully I can get a few decent rides in before Christmas.
And one for a giggle; I had a noise complaint about the bike from an with our so have to be a little more subtle next time I have it out!

I would love to become a professional whistler. I'm pretty amazing at it now, but I wanna get, like, even better. Make my living out of it.

Started a new section of the build and test fitted the belly pan.
Needs a bit of shaping but is mostly there but obviously custom brackets are a must!
Look nice, I like the shape too.

Yeah, it's made specifically for the bike so the holes are pretty close and I can see only a few places that I'll need to trim for a good fit.
Picked up a Jardine slip on pipe from Hooligan last night to use with my new ZX9R headers.
Going to look at the fitting and position of it before permanently fixing it I place.
I've decided to wrap the pipes too so should look pretty sweet once it's done and apparently this pipe can "wake the dead" with the baffle out so the neighbours are gonna love me!
Who's a good welder/fabricator on here who doesn't mind Frankenstein exhausts?!?
Oh My Fucking Lord; that Jardine pipe makes a fine and VERY loud tune!
At idle it was a tad less thunderous than my Tinegate pipe but made up for it when I turned the throttle a touch. Sounds very much like straight pipes with a very slight reduction in noise and violence.
Next step is to find a fabricator to get the whole thing together as one system so I can wrap it all together. Any advice or guidance on the right person for the job would be greatly appreciated.
Nice one Jim. Coming together nicely!
Looks good.
Cheers all, it's coming together slowly but next few months will
No doubt be slow due to christmas and whatnot.
Hoping to get the belly pan and exhaust sorted before Santa arrives though!
OK, so the new exhaust pipe I bought from Hooligan is ready for collection after a little welding to make it fit in with the ZX9R headers and after attending the bike night at Penrith tomorrow that's next on the list for work. Still think it'all be way too loud but hoping a baffle and some exhaust matting may help.
After that I've got a mate popping round to weld me up some tacks on my subframe so I can get an idea of what it'all take to make a stubby tail unit and I'll also try to shape up some brackets for the belly pan from Aluminium plate.
Wheels are again moving!
That's what we like to hear. Good stuff Jim.
Glad the pipe is getting used.
more titanium than my bike
It's amazing how drinking beer and listening to music (Prodigy this time) gets the creative juices flowing; think I may have figured out my subframe woes but need to get some sanding/cutting done on an existing subframe next week then hopefully all will come together!
So the subframe is with a mate to get welded and the exhaust headers are being moedified to accept the Jardine pipe.
More photos soon hopefully
Heard today that my headers are ready for collection so all being well I may have the new exhaust fitted before the weekend is out!
Hell yea! That's the juice.
Looking good. The belly pan a nice addition, I think that's what mine missing.
Will post shots when it's fitted but can already guess it'll be killer loud!
