Yea its cheating i dont careWill it work on a set of cans/is it easy enough to do yourself/if not who does it here in NZ?if it will work it would seem a cheap way to tidy up a set of old cans and at least they wont fall to bits as ive been advised a recent idea would.

they should send you the 2 fibre sleaves or repack and rebuild yours if you send them to them.

They repaired a second yoshi header,made custom midpipes to adapt a can they had made for me a year earlier and worked everything around new race rearsets I adapted from GSXR1000 k7 onto 1989 FZR1000 post classic.Very good workmanship.They even moved my oil cooler forward when they thought it was to close to headers.Nice prices also.

Cycleworks has closed down. Damon still works a bit from home however. Somewhere in the Akatas on the main road.

Cheers guys,will take the cans to bits when they turn up and repack if necessary,weld up the split in link and give it all a polish up.Could just paint the cans in a satin black or similar i guess.

Thats very good mate.

Was thinking the same as Mossy.. just didn't vocalize it.

Very impressed with some of the stuff you've done, and was quite interested in the GSXR front fork swap you did.

Cheers.I enjoy having something a little bit different is all.Ive had this thing for a decade and still enjoy owning it,dont ride as much as i used to when younger so buying a new bike seems pointless,far better to tinker with this old girl.Each to there own eh.

I dunno mate, where does it say ya can only change stuff once?

I'm thinking those funky....er, I mean ugly....disgusting, eyeball meltingly ugly, forged Carrozerria's don't do that beast justice. Time ya upgraded to some BST's or such like and sent those gorgeous, I mean shitty, very very shitty, forged rims to a less populated area to preserve the delicate eyesight of the young, elderly and infirm. I happen to live in such a place and and am willing to pay the shipping costs to remove the risk to public health. It's the least I can do.......

If i do you will be the first to know mate.When your Mrs goes on Trade me and looks up the price TL1000s are going for then sits down and adds up what she knows you have spent on yours then adds a few thousand to cover the bits she knows you havent told her about and works out the things a bottomless pit thats worth fuck all it gets a bit hard to prise money out of herI cant remember all ive bought for it over the years as ive bought stuff then not liked it so sold it etc,how many times have i heard "you bought one of those last year" or "its no different than the one you just sold but cost twice as much"Cant complain shes put up with it for a fair old while.I plan on doing a good job with this exhaust set up and thats about it,really.

Get the ear plugs ready mate, you're about to cop it from my missus too! You've shamed me into finally ordering some R1 forks/brakes for the ol' TLR, to suit the early R1 triples and old Marchesini's I've had lying around. I've still gotta sort out how to adapt the rear but the project is officially underway.........and the "robust discussions" won't be far behind, lol.
