Yep, what Gamma said.

To explain my feelings on receipt of this advice I shall merely say; FUCK!
On a plus note my pipe arrived today!

Fuck these iPhones bad their stupid upside down photos!
Exhaust looks sweet mate :-)
Yeah but it's already sat against the swingarm so thinking I may need to either hammer a reveal into it or have the end of the manifold moved over a touch?
I'd say it'll be mega loud still so thinking a DB killer will be a must.
Looking good jim! As always check up and see your still at it,I should go a new muffler or something to make my self like my bike again.keep at it even if it's only small bits hire and there! Looks good
Cheers man, came to the realisation the other day that I have to cut into my tail unit to clear some material from the subframe which is poking through now so that seriously sucks balls but I'm determined to see it running again!
Will be back online again soon with an update as soon as I get rid of the Monster-In-Law in a few weeks!
A bit of therapeutic hammering today has worked out my swingarm/can fouling issue!
No clearance to swingarm?
About 5mm clear now I've made some adjustment to the can using a heavy rubber mallet and a 36mm impact socket as a dolly!
I admit it's not pretty but the indent is completely hidden by the swinger so I'm happy enough.
Cleaned out and refurbed my fuel tap too as it was clogged now need to open up carbs for a look and see if anything's in there.
Fitted the new fuel pump too so it's moving forward again but I still need to hack at my seat unit so not looking forward to that bit but hey how!
Another view but still not great; I'll get one with it on the bike and try to show the clearance to the swinger it now has as it was pulling the header over previously it was that tight.
Well, that's one way of doing it!If it works, is unseen and you're happy, then that's a win.
You sure sorted that out with the pipe Jim. Should be ok sound wise. Did you get a DB killer with the can? maybe compare sounds with and with out. Bummer about the tail though, but again, you'll work it out.

No DB killer unfortunately but I'll grab something off eBay if it's still too much.
Can you flatten the entire side to the one depth so it doesn't look like accident damage?
I could Rod but I'm not that bothered to be honest as it's completely hidden by the swinger when it's installed.
Sweet! True streetfighter style
Changed plugs, test fitted new battery and got wiring back in place.
Hangs Oil tomorrow then hope to fire it in the evening and potentially squirt it round the corner quickly.
Tail unit is being prepped for some Dremmel surgery but hope to get some more progress with filling and sanding after Sister-In-Law leaves us next week. She's not dying; just travelling back to UK!
