I hear the full system added shitloads of power on the K7 thou. You don't need more power, just some NOISE! Oh yeah, and a bike back on the road

Hell yeah

They come with a baffle but that will last about 30mins on the bike by the time
I get home and pull it out

They sound shitloads better without them. It took me years to remove them from my VTR. Once I finally did I wondered why the hell I hadn't done it sooner

I'm a bit slow on the uptake...

Freak'n good news Mike! Onya mate
Re Gaycob and his comments re Annette's and my views re Leo Vince cans...never listen to a redneck that smells of farm animals man.
No we didn't like the cans on the RSVR as those particular ones didn't do the job on the twin and we also didn't like the aesthetics either.
Very good quality cans...enjoy as they have to be a million times better than the drain pipe ya had before brother!

Good to hear ya bikes on the mend Mike.
So, the big question for me today is the bloody weather. I need to get home this afternoon, but riding in a one hundred year storm isnt something Ive set out to do on purpose.
Its been wicked up here in Whangarei, the rain I can put up with, but the wind Im a bit concerned about, especially when they closed the Auckland Habour bridge last night to two wheel traffic because a couple of bikes got blown over. Not sure if they were scooters or real bikes though. And I doubt I will be able to take the Paeroa -Waihi route as the gorge may end up closed, so Im picking I will have to do Matamata-Kaimai's
Any news about the Auckland to Tauranga run would be appreciated.

I love that bit of road, it doesnt matter if your on a 250 or 1000 this bit of road is so tight its a similar pace for all. Its a bit rough in places but so much fun. I would love to do the loop again so let me know if you are going that way.

everyone goes the same pace there because of traffic mate.

Well so much for that plan. Finally found a second hand CDI unit but it's the wrong one for my bike.

Looks like I'm sending it off to the states.
