Yeah yeah, don't rub it in on the weather, sucks over here....
Don't expect anything too much different than the last pipes sound wise but they certainly look a whole lot better!
On a side note it seems that my old FZ1 at AFC has been sold, they were saying the new owner wants to put the original muffler back on it!!!! Oh dear.. Now that was an awesome sounding bike IMHO, The 14 sounds reasonably good but not in the same league as the FZ1 with the Arrow on it...

Some people eh?

Well I've just purchased my first bit of bling since the suspension upgrade. Strangely enough, they're FZ1 compatible bar-ends, but cheap, so WTF. Oh yeah and I'm going to be a guinea pig for the Mlabel levers too.

Apparently the new owner is an older chap and does'nt like the loud pipe to which I replied just put the DB killer in the Arrow, simple eh....
