Certainly makes the bike nicer to ride when compared to my old exhaust Nice and quiet, feels as though the bike is producing more torque through the rev range, although its hard to tell. The exhaust is made to a better standard than the stock ones and fits easily onto the bike. Although there isn't any top speed increase and not really any noticeable acceleration increase, I'm still very pleased with the exhaust. Only buy one if your stock one needs changing is what i reccomend

Looks good! I just powerwashed my old exhaust last week and the chrome turned copper!
Was that old exhaust the same one you chopped up last year?

Put some Halfords exhaust paint on this new one asap to stop it rusting. I know you probably don't want to spoil it as it's new but give it a few months and the rust will start to show. Prevention is better than cure.

I'm pretty sure there's a few Halford's in Kent, there's definitely one in Chatham.

I will be using some 'BBQ Matt Black Paint' from B&Q. It's heat resistant, and very cheap, I already had it in from repainting the BBQ last summer!

i thought your qoute was aimed at chcknugget who lives in america #oops# We have Harbor Freight tools here in the states. I think it's the same kind of idea... Very cheap tools that may not necessarily be to "spec".

Halfords tools are usually to spec, but aimed at the home mechanic

your better getting cheap tools sure thye might not last as long, but i got a set of clarke ones and they have been gr8 the only thing ive had to replace is a 14mm socket and rather than messing about with warantees and gurantees i just bought a new one easier and less hassle and less expensive to replace,at the end of the day they dnt like replacing the tools anyway so if sumthing breaks u usually end up paying for it again , i had a snap on torque wrench and they wouldnt exchange it when the spring went. :S

Snap on are nice looking tools but who the hell can afford a garage full of them??? I own one snap on 3/8 ratchet which i found on the side of the road and everything else is good quality and reasonably priced #thumbs_up#
