    What pipe?

    So, after a wee off on the rimutaka hill weekend before last, (nothing serious, and I once again I went down whilst holding others up, I really cant ride slow it would seem).

    Anyhoo, the standard under seat pipe was a bit rizzed on the right hand side, so I thought I'd take it off to fix it up, weel it looked so good with out them or the number plate holder, I decided to do this...

    Very cool
    the Hornets look so good with out the high twin pipes.
    A guy up here's done similar but with twin under engine dump pipes.

    I've been thinkin about doing some thing similar, just want to get hold of
    some more headers to muck around with.

    Cheers guys, it sounds bloody awesome. Oh yeah, on over-run it spits flames too.

    Cant really answer why I've gone down twice on the hill, but I've never done it going fast, so I'm as perplexed as you are.

    Better to go out in a ball of flames than to fade away.

    Perplexed - the answers obvious man - just don't slow down!

    Described to me, "it's like a camera flash goin off!" Dunno if that means large ball of flame or just real bright. Damn cool either way though.

    One either side would be cool (and quieter!!!!!)

    Get your arse onto e-bay and order some crash bobbins too.

    I guess the big hacksaw came out then

    If you need a link to aftermarket pipes for the Hornet in the stock fitting PM me - also a single high right side only muffler is available for that 4 cylinder howl.
