the only diff between the 'R' and stock striple is the daytona sussies, two-tone seat and matt paint...the engine power is exactly the same

Also, i got the arrow slip-ons.....regret it now coz they the only parts thas holding me bike up! (til next week)

as for blue flame cans, they do a fair few for the striple....check em out;

Can't believe you sold the thou Girth

Still, a good bike to go to by all accounts. You'll just have to get used to losing your bike at bike meets now, cos it'll never stand out like your your Sheene did.

Enjoy

Sweet looking bike mate , absolutely stonking engine too , you are gonna have so much fun

Pickling Gel will clean those up nicely , Arrow cans are very nicely made , just the welds to tidy up and it would look tip-top

Well, just got back from a 40mile bimble. I actually woo hoo'd whilst riding it, it is so much fun!

Think its going to be the Leo Vince as a local independant bike shop is a dealer in them and usually sorts me out a good price.

Gutted the SV has gone because of its looks and sound but thats where it ends.
