    Just in case anyone is still wondering, the exhaust never showed up BUT the guy has assured me he's gonna send another one. So assuming there aren't any erupting volcanoes or Somalian pirates this time I expect to receive my shiny exhaust some time next spring!!! C'est la vie I guess!?!

    no idea if it sounds any good or what the quality is like but the price seemed pretty fair and it certainly looks the part.... in my opinion (just like the Leo Vince one?!). So, anyway when it shows up i'll post an update!
    As it turns out, I never received this, despite them saying they'd sent it AND a replacement because it got 'lost' in the post . I gave up on my money after ten months of broken promises and BS stories about illness and marriage break ups (WTF!!) from the twa... ahem, dealer, do I care about his personal problems?! er no just want my goods thanks!!!

    So anyway to cut a long and f##king frustrating story short, the upshot was I orderered one of these:

    http://www.powersport.co.nz/item_gg-...i-999-749_5960

    from Powersport in Hamilton (who knew eh?), it duly came and was fairly easy to fit once I'd figured out the Italian instructions. I actually think it looks the absolute dogs danglers and as for the noise, sounds reminiscent of an Avro Lancaster on full throttle .........in actual fact its a bit too loud without the dB killers, I must be getting old!! The exhaust was delayed for a few days and fair play to Simon he sent me some extra goodies to say thanks, so cheers mate, would be happy to recommend!!
    Here is the actual bike looking hot in the sun

    Although it looks like two pipes this is a single unit and shaves a whopping 5kg off the unsprung weight, just need to save up now for the cat removal pipe and then get some K&N's and hmm maybe that Power Commander?...................................

    open up your options and look outside of NZ, loads of good second hand stuff on fleabay and possibly a lot cheaper to get it posted over than buying in NZ

    have bought and sold stuff via fleabay internationally over the years and saved / made a bundle
