    Euro exchange rate...

    Bugger!

    Had a look at the SC-Project pipe the other night, Friday I think it was and worked out the exchange rate. It would have been around $1250 for the pipe, Euro580, for the stainless one.

    Buggered if I checked it today and it's gone to around $1335... That just sucks big time...

    Euro120 for shipping too, so it's gonna be a costly one...

    So, Devil, that's what we are in for.....

    9kg's... That's the price we'll pay for 9kg's, lol...

    My wings cost me around NZ$1630 all up, landed and delivered to Triple X. Sure, they were the top of the line exhaust I guess.

    And I still can't fly

    The Euro is now heading back up again, albeit slowly. We are keeping an eye on it as we feed hXc's account in Belgium from here...it can surely erode your spending poower!

    I'll keep an eye on it this week... Maybe it lost 'more' ground due to yesterday being a holiday... I can only hope, lol...

    *shrug*. Still pretty cheap for a full exhaust system. Just gotta wait till I get back from Raro, then check out the xmas budget.

    It's more annoying about the fluctuation really, lol...

    Were you gonna go stainless or titanium?

    580 for the stainless and 620 for the Ti...

    I'll probably just go for the Ti and get it done with...

    Cool. Notice the exchange rate is getting shitter.
    I'm holding off for the moment to sort out finances, but I think i've also changed my mind about which exhaust to go for. Will have to see!

    mmm thats a nice weight saving, making a reasonably light bike even lighter...

    Exchange will recover at some point... but yeh, pretty crap at the moment.

    There's a distinct difference in cog. It isn't top heavy like it used to be...

    It also sledges the rear brake for nothing now, lol... Will be sorting that out for sure...

    Lol... Home made one...

    The original little beak is only $16 or $23, so I decided to hack mine up... I got some scrap 1mm ally and bent one up. Took a few tries but got one to work. Just don't look too closely, lol...
    I have also kept the number plate light, so mostly legal...
