Default Where to get my exhaust upgraded in the South-Eest, UK

Hi,

I've got a SV650 pointy, and would like to get my exhaust can changed for something bit m ore meaty.

I've searched around a bit on here and found that you have to chop the old can off etc.

Can anyone recommend a place that can supply various makes of exhaust and and fit it for me??

I live in west london.

Thanks

Any garage with a hacksaw would no doubt be pleased to charge you 2 hours labour for fitting

Gootastic mate !!!!

Only making fun cos I did the same thing putting my D-Lock through my rear wheel about 3 days after you did yourself.

Still have a nice shiny patch on the back of my hand

So now you are back on the road - going to make it to the Soho meet on Friday? (did you make it last week?)

In the main last friday I spent it frowning at my battery.

I was quite grumpy.

Kept thinking, "Any second now.....any second now....now....right now....come on...you can do it....."


Oops, we're in danger of hijacking this thread.

So, Exhausts. Mine's a Venom, oval, carbon fibre. from t'inter-bay. £190-ish.

Does the job sounds nice.
