put the seat on, I think it looks great, really happy with the bike so far. just need to fit the better tyre (when im not in as much pain) and it'll be done. :D also kicked the tail unit up a bit for that aggressive stance :D

You can get a reducer pipe for can to 4-1 headers Tony. might be a bit of fannying around with welding and getting bends to make it fit nicely but should mean you can fit any can you like.
Bike looks much better now with the decals on her, but its too bloody cold for test runs now. its snowing up here today.
seat also is a huge improvement (im not a fan of standard one, you might have guessed)
keep up the good work .

You could try Dave at Exhaust Craft in Whitehaven for a stainless system.

That new tyre makes a difference ! Looks much better - just properly finishes off the conversion to wire spokes - it looks right.
Enough done for this year - great job. Roll on spring 2025

yeah it does cheers Dave. I can't help thinking the whole bike looks a bit on the short side ??? I guess the LTD swingarm is the same length as all the rest !!!!

I believe the swingarm is the same length, here's my ltd, braced stock swingarm and frame, stainless Harris knockoff.
