as for the oil filter!!!! i screwed it on as described and as i have always donee??? again appologies, least its sorted now!!

The exhaust.. it went on pretty easy once all clamps were taken off, the can removed completely, link pipe off then worked from the bottom upwards.. i.e. link pipe to headers, making sure it was aligned properly, then the can onto the link pipe again making sure the pipes were jonied properly then the can clamp, twisted the system till it was properly straight then tightened it up from the base down.. i.e. the clamp that joins link pipe to headers.. then the can to link pipe clamp and finally the can clamp itself.. working from bottom up means he could make sure that nothing was pulled apart etc.. it's stopped blowing now and has moved the can back about 2 inches or so (I'll post pics later) .. looks much better but was no hassle to fix

Oil filter... Not sure why it was loose.. just one of them things, I'm glad it's sorted now but not worried about how it got loose.. prob just the vibbeeesssss...

yep, like i said, i should have bought the TL, but dont tell ITG! he will only point and laugh!!

or say "told u so" which he didnt but what i deserve!!

It's fine Nowt wrong with it at all now, doesn't even steam much on start up from cold (condensation stuff) barely even does it now, the other dya must have been because it was relatively cold atmosphere

So, bikes fine, put my mind at ease completely!!! Going to treat her to a full wash and wax tomorow make her look like new again
