Yes, it looks so mint that it reminds me of this:

That was a curious message on my profile linking me to this thread!


Your quest of transforming your bike into a similar but not the same as Stealth SV??


I'm still not entirely sure how you know what my bike looks like. I deleted all photos off photobucket for this forum when I took a break, before you joined. Do I know you??? Confused!!!






Here's a few photos of my bike that I re-uploaded. Jumping on the bandwagon as everyone else seems to be doing it on this thread.












The TRS system isn't road legal so you'll either need to find a sympathetic MOT tester or put a legal system back on like I did.


And to answer your question to me, my seat was actually the original seat but it was scooped out loads and recovered.


I look forward to seeing the new and improved 'Similar Stealth Bike MkII'

Undertray is off ebay was £55 new.

But Banditmania sell them, but it took a lot of modding to get a correct fit (5 hours!) because i had no instructions what so ever and had to cut the old one up.

Hey Law,

Sorry about that - I actually found your bike on MCN and contacted you to buy it but you had already sold it - i think i contacted you after that about some of the mods too.

This is what i thought - were you able to connect the original can to the Yoshi system or did you have to replace the full system with the original come MOT ?

I see that would explain it - it looks really good and completes the line of the bike!

Cheers

Come to think of it, the can isn't marked not for road use, but then again it's not marked with a road legal stamp either. So you might get it past the MOT testers.

My TRS was a slip on to the original downpipes so I refitted the the original with a sleeve.

Mine isnt road legal, but not marked not for road use either. When I booked the MOT I told the tester about the can and he said not to worry. When BigApe went to the same place, same tester, I think his failed on it, but his does sound like a WW2 fighter plane!!

good luck

If you have a good MOT tester then you won't have any problems, a can must be 'BS' or 'E' stamped to be road legal so having nothing is the same as having 'Race Use' or 'Not For Road Use' stamped on it.
