Lovely finishing touch. We all do this. Spend hours fiddling, fettling, futtering about in the shed, get asked a lot "what are you doing?" And when it's all finished only we know why it was all worth it!

Love these kinds of mods!

That's it Dean, at the end of a days work I stand back and think to myself that doesn't look right, I'll fix it tomorrow 🤔

Cheers Jonathon.

Nice job and congrats on BOTM!!!

I especially like those mufflers. What brand are they and are they loud enough to know it's running?

Some people are like Slinkies, not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

Hi Kevin, they are just some cheapish ones from modern motorcycle company. They are pretty loud, a nice note 👍
