Nappasin nuo vanhat ruosteiset pöntöt irti ja uudet tuutit tilalle... ja juttu taas tualta mopofoorumilta suoraan lontooksi.. ;)
----
Got my new exhaust on yesterday (or actually just new mufflers). I was too lazy to do the black exhaust tape for the pipes so I just swapped the mufflers. Took a very long time to do, because one of the ex-owners had decided to weld together the exhaust from original front pipes to collectors from a CB750F (i think) and some older italo pipes.. damn fool... :P
So a lot of cutting and careful grinding later...
the old with the new (which has a lot of dirt on it due to fitting it on with dirty gloves..)
The old pipes were cut in the rear, making them rattle and sound strange. They were also quite badly rusted..
I got these mufflers for less than 50 euros a piece, they look great and sound even better. It's now a low rumble and it really sounds like a four cylinder bike instead of a lawnmower like the old pipes. I REALLY like the change :)
you may also guess that I'm thinking of buying 2 more and putting together a 4:4 set from these... Some adjustments needed to replace the collectors but if I'm putting on that insulator tape on the pipes anyhow (they are badly rusted..) I wouldn't need the adjustment pipes chromed... hmmm...
Some bad news as well, my left side mirror rattled loose and fell to the asphalt from the bar end while driving to work this morning. ffs. I was too pissed off to turn around and look for it, since I was doing about 90km/h while it fell. I guess I'll get a new one or just install original mirros instead.. ;) we'll see...
Since it's still clear I'm missing on a lot of power from the bike I made a reservation to the bike-doctor next wednesday to get the valve clearance, ignition and carb synch done professionally. Seems like I'll never have the time to do them myself so it's better this way. ;)
