Decals look good, where did you get them from?

Took your seat cover to the post office yesterday afternoon so it's probably going to be with you early next week!

I got them from DSS, proper Honda ones :grin: I can't remember the exact cost, but I'm sure they were about £12 or so :)

Awesome, as it was sent to work so someone will always be there to pick it up :D I'm just trying to figure out how to paint it :D just using tape on the red seat to see roughly what I want :P

I saw that video ages ago, when I got my single exit TSR and wanted to know what it would sound like :up: Sounds really good, can't quite tell from the video as it's indoors, but is it loud?

Just to keep everything up to date, I've saved Ibby's photo so that when his thread is deleted in the regular parts etc forum clearout I'll have a record of what the seat cowl looked before and after it's done :)

Also, job/parts list for the VFR before it's ready for MOT;

-Make brackets to rivet lowers together
-Fix sticky 'Pass' button
-Secure riders seat
-Fit rear reflector or uncut undertray and 8x6 plate
-New ignition barrel as the current one doesn't need a key to operate

Well, a good days work, fitted a new exhaust to a mates car for him, then just as we were packing up I was asked to come sign for some Japanese imported goodness :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Got it at 12.00 and by about 5 past it was completely unwrapped and inspected :roll:

I'll let the few pics I got before my phone camera died do the talking :)

Shush you! Common... :roll: :lol: It's a lovely system, I'll try to get them weighed up, but I'd be surprised if the pipes weigh more than 5kg the cans feel very well made (looks like they have titanium end caps?) as do the can hangers (polished aluminium)
