The only thing better than the sound of a grunty L twin is the sound when you are on one and following another!

Bit bias me but yep agree on the looks of the things,had one coming toward me the other day and thought that very thing,the R looks large and cumbersome these days,the S is kind of timeless.Weirdly i am a bit jealous of this guys S,bone stock apart from the cans,a nice find.

Thanks but i reckon with a couple of modern shortie cans (carbon) and the exhaust done in black it will just finish the old girl off nicely.The exhaust set up is well old,2 Bros made it way back in 97 and i was lucky enough to stumble across it on Ebay in a pretty bad state but it tidied up well,not to everyones taste but its certainly different,different is good.:niceone:

My brother had a same coloured TLS, he fabricated an under tail exhaust, not biased but best exhaust setup I've ever seen on a TLS. The exit was just under the taillight and curved to the same shape. He also put a dump flapper solinoid type setup under where the two headers meet, so when he initiated it to open via the pass button, she opened and fuck she was loud!.........
This is a pick of my now neglected TLS, which I'll be putting on TM soon......sob sob weep weep
Since these pics were taken, she has wave rotors front and rear, TLR calipers, braided lines and Micron pipes - the 2 bros pipes stuffed.
Mods: Ohlins springs in front forks, Ohlins rear shock, PCIII, Suziki gel seat, clear clutch cover, chromed rims, unique grey pearled paint, integrated tail light, LED white front indicators, airbox mod, carbon fibre rear hugger.........
