Clean and stubbied
well OK ALMOST clean, I didn't get to finish it but I thought I'd be self indulgent and take a pose shot. Turned out quite nicely I thought.
Shame the left over autosol makes the scraped link pipe show up, will wash that out tomorrow and it will blend in again. Still chuffed with myself that I managed to stubby it all on my own well with a few good pointers from the org first of course

Re: Clean and stubbied
Yep, surprised myself too as I usually mess things like that up but this worked out, a couple of bits not perfect but then it was far from perfect to start with so its a huge improvement (theres a thread in tweaking and tuning if anyone cares to see the before shot)
Can't wait to go on a rideout with it now as it does sound ace (IMHO anyway) but I don't really fancy trying its maiden org rideout through north wales just to pick up my idiot fine and rectification notice, I'd rather get a bit of use out of it first before risking it hehe. I had visions of it being horribly loud and not sounding as nice but its the same tone pretty much just with a tad more VOLUME LOL and it pops a little bit more which I kinda like on long overrun. All in all I'm rather pleased with myself this weekend, bike looks significantly better, not least for the bit of cleaning I did, just surface clean though, no fiddly bits.

Thanks mister c, it was how easy you made it look and the swiftness with which you sorted yours that convinced me to have a proper look at doing it
