    All good Graham!

    Colour changing a new vehicle is just a bug of mine, as I've seen too many fail. If done well, there should be no great concern.

    Yeah the paint colour is mint! Looks great but what with the ZX14 mufflers? I must say though they don't look out of place on a Concours.

    I felt the standard single pipe was fugly as!
    Plus I just much prefer the 'balanced' look of twin pipes and they sound so much better

    I actually meant why did you choose ZX14 mufflers over after market twin set up's? I know Muzzy does a twin set up for a Concours but like I said.. The ZX muffler do look the part.

    I suppose you were chatting to Henry a bit then?

    She's real shiny mister. I could scrape her up a bit for you? Ask the mechs... I gots good skills I does...

    I told the mechs it must have been good practise for them, and apparently there's been one other bike where they took it apart more...

    I was after keeping the OEM look and remain 'stealthy' . The option is always there for later though.

    You could say that, it was more a case of him doing all the chatting though and me doing all the listening!

    It was young Zac that did the deal so big thumbs up to him, he worked really hard to make it happen and Experience went the extra mile too. They seemed as every bit excited about seeing the finished product as me, even Kawasaki NZ were on board with it all and gave it their seal of approval, couldn't have asked for more really.
