They were de-rigour round here in the early 80's

Is it a standard seat or a Giuliari type he is looking for ?

If tyres are left standing on cold concrete when the bike is stood up - it does them no good. If you are standing the bike up for prolonged lengths of time, get the wheels off the ground altogether or at least stick some wood or similar under the tyres. It will help prevent the problem you are seein...

I didn't think they had the V8 TR7 over here ?

Is that an import ?

Looks good anyway

Jim - I have some good Vac gauges, you can borrow mine anytime you need em mate. Just give me a shout and we can meet up somewhere. They are OK to have if you know no-one else in the area with a set, but they spend 99.99% of their lives sitting on a shelf so are not the most cost effective purchase ...

Those recessed badge tanks were fitted on the C1 as well.

Mine is that style.

I guess I could Gary ... :lol: but he also comes on here, so unless he is met with a sudden flurry of enquiries for Alfa copies, I doubt he is gonna get involved in a 3rd style of exhaust, as well as titanium or stainless in the ones he already does. :lol: :lol: I always preferred the Alfa precisely...

I may need to leave this request open.

I spoke with Dave at ExhaustCraft this morning and although he could make some - the cost could well be prohibitive as they would be specials.

I may end up going the full Piper replica route and just playing a waiting game for if any of these turn up ....

I agree stainless would be the best bet Jim. Chroming mild steel would only create more cost and work anyway mate.

Thanks Gary

Thanks guys

That piper rep. looks stunning.

I think the 900 front pipes would be longer ( I will check that though) so am not sure if they would fit.

That'd be cool if he has. Thanks guys, I will ask him on Monday

Thanks for the suggestion mate. I have to ring Dave on Monday cos I am considering going the Piper replica route as I cannot use my Alfa so I will ask him, but if he is like the guys down here he will likely need the bike rather than making 'em to pattern from the originals. That is a bit of a probl...

Yeah I know they are rarer than an honest politician but if anyone has or spots a Z650 Alfa exhaust or a set (or just some) front pipes for sale - please give me a shout. This is the LH exit Alfa system on my old Z650 from back in the day. Z650/750/GPZ750 are all the same BTW ... http://i74.photobuc...
