Do yourself a favour and get rid of the mickey mouse sticker, though.

If you leave it on for too long after you start using the bike it'll be next to impossible to get rid of the glue stains...

9 inch grinder straight threw no problems... just remember to protect everything if you are leaving the pipework on the bike. also use some masking tape wrapped round pipe then mark for cut then cut. take footpeg off at the pin lets you get into the pipe easier..

You're assuming? It doesn't come with instructions? Good luck.
