    As the addiction grows you will need work longer hours to afford to feed it.This will lead to a balance in the FORCE where your time on Ebay is reduced due to longer work hours.Eventually your bike will become over accessorised and you will be able add no more.You will then sell it at a huge loss and give up riding for 3 weeks before you go into midlife crisis and buy a Harley.

    I'm wondering what to do with the six potter I got from ebay? The pads will be like $180 for what I want I might just put them on trade me as I'm getting some good results with what I have on board what d you reackon?
    Some of the K7 forks from ebay look bloody tempting to.

    Sorry about the hi jack Mike
    Be different, chuck a whole big piston fork front end in it!

    Suzuki have a very cool feature, press the steering stem out of the bottom triple clamp from the TL, it'll press straight into the gixxer clamp and bolt together.

    Turned up today,is in need of a few hours polishing and some TLC but all in all pretty good,am going to take the cans to bits and re pack as i was surprised how much shorter they are than the 2 bros cans i have on the oem system which i would assume will mean there loud and i dont want em to loud.Annoyingly the springs to join it up were missing but no biggie.

    Nice .Are you tempted to put carbon sleaves on when you repack them?
    They look in better nick than from the ebay photos,must be Mothers polish.

    Yea there not bad,had the split in the Y pipe (small) welded today.Ive used a few things on them,the headers etc have come up a treat but am having problems getting the cans right,there old so might be as good as i can get them.Yep thought about Carbon but undecided,would have to be good Carbon otherwise this old thing will just blow em to bits,was sitting there today even thinking of losing the Y pipe to 2 cans and going with 1,dunno will keep on cleaning it up and maybe throw it on there over the winter and see what i think,the cans are not to bad as there shorter and smaller than the 2 bros i have at the moment so they might look ok.

    Ended up putting the polisher away and resorting to elbow grease,about an hour of Autosol bought the bottom can right,hopefully it shows up in the pic.Plenty more hours to go methinks but at least i am getting a result.
