Sorry to hear you have had a off Dave.Lucky to get away with light injuries.As the thieving scum who stole your end can lets hope they get nicked.

re- the can had a couple of people stop and ask if i was ok in the village that had seen bike sitting in the ditch thanked them for stopping and explaned i was waiting for rac recovery coming two stopped on an old ratty gpz500 wearing a nylon cagoul n trainers pos could have been them ? thing being its of no use to anyone unless its for a nc30 crazy.

Sh!t no good dave, glad to hear you got out of it well enough to post, can always be worse!

Good time for a muffler upgrade!!

thanks guys , the phoenix shall rise from the ashes got the original uncut system in a local engineering shop at the moment getting stainless mid joints welded on that rcv4 supplied a big thank you to him. or may look for another can, have around one and half sets of bodykit in the shed in various states of disrepair so might get cracking on them with the plastex/dremmel and get them painted up in the original rwb. shame that the set i just trashed was a good set i bought from kermit who used to be on the old forum some of you may remember his thread and youtube video? untill yday all his fine workmanship was holding firm doh !
