    I may get the balancing checked on the front wheel and see if that solves it. Hope it isn't the head bearings (seeing that the bike is basically new and I have only done about 2000ks). breaking is smooth so shouldn't be the disks.
    I have had Micron pipes fitted and I didn't notice a change when I had that done so yeah, hopefully just the balancing.

    Thanks for the advice, if anyone else has experienced this any additional advice would be appreciated. (Especially other 900 Hornet owners)
    How are you finding the pipes?
    Have you got any pictures?

    Thanks to everyone for the advice - all taken on board and will follow up on a few of them.

    The pipes are awesome, they sound really good. I have a black Hornet and got the oval carbon Microns, look mint as. Being oval they fit really well under the rear seat cowl. What I am now looking for is carbon heat shields for the section of pipe between the last branch and the cans themselves as the Microns have chromed ones as standard which defeats the point of carbon and black!!! I am going to take some pics shortly (as soon as I get a chance to give her a wash!!!!). I'll send you a PM when I have the pics up Kendog. Cheers again....

    They look sweet.

    Cheers, they sound pretty damn good too!!!! They came with the "chrome look" shields. I don't really like the shields though, would much rather have carbon fibre ones. Anyone know where I could find carbon shields (or have them made)?

    Try eBay maybe. Eurodave (KBer) in CHCH might make you some, but you'd have to send them down probably.

    Sweet looking cans though. Did you consider others?

    Sweet thanks, may have to look into that....

    I considered Arrows which apparently sound amazing on the Hornets but they would have just cost too much. Also looked at Remus but haven't heard too much about them so went with the Microns.

    Dr Sardonicus (www.drsardonicus.com I think) has Remus cans on his. They look awesome at least. Watch the 'Mountain Rider Series' if you get a chance.
