    started on the exhaust now, pulled the ends off of the dan moto muffler and the packing was pretty much shagged. Got some 3 1/2" stainless exhaust pipe to use as the outer shell which was slightly thicker so had to take a lick out of each end on the lathe.

    taking it to work tomorrow and see if the boily can tig the tip on for me, will drill and rivet the other end with some fresh packing.

    started messing around with a muffler tag idea, muffler will be black with the tag polished or another colour, havent decided yet.

    Exhaust is on, sounds reasonable but has made it a little doughy down low, might have to get it re-tuned. Will give it a paint in the next couple of days but will eventually get it ceramic coated with the headers, the paint on the headers pretty much flaked off straight away after i put them on and started riding

    Nice work Damo, that looks tidy as! You going to ceramic coat the muffler and headers at the same time? Still going with the knuckles on the can?

    What did you paint the headers with again? Seems weird it would come off first go if it was HT paint.

    it was a dupli colour high heat stuff from supercrap, had ceramic in it and supposedly good for 1100 degrees. Have to admit the prep work wasn't sensational so it may be more a faulty workmanship rather then shit paint

    Fair enough. Oh well, at least the ceramic coating will save the day.

    yup, once the weather turns to shit the exhaust will come back off and receive the professional job, untill then, as long as people maintain a 5 metre perimeter, then they wont notice

    Cheers,

    So the belly pan wasn't as stable as anticipated and broke one of the mounting tabs during the run, luckily was close to home and managed to limp it back without damaging it. Wind protection sucks no matter how much i tried to tuck in under the speedo, i knew that was gonna be the case after stripping it back but wasnt prepared for how bad it was during the "spirited" runs. The steering dampener needs to go back on also, had a bit of head shake during said "spirited" runs.

    Nothing like a day out with the Hayabusa boys to iron out any potential bugs, back in the shed she goes
