    1st Service rippoff

    Hi, my 'free' first service cost me £86 recently, took a ride over to the dealers to book it in and was suprissed to find they were able to shuffle jobs around and get it done there and then....mind you it only took 1/2 hour so I know it was only oil/ filter and a visual inspection. Gratefull...

    Spare Rocket III TOR's Cut them down?

    Dan, the baffle you can see is the stuff I added not factory, (I had used 2 pieces pushed inside each other that would adjust to the correct length when the end cap was pushed on for reference only).

    Spare Rocket III TOR's Cut them down?

    Here's an update on my pipes, I cut them on the bandsaw and took around half the length off the body of the pipes.

    Spare Rocket III TOR's Cut them down?

    Rocket arrived today

    Skivvies ? What are they ? If you meant undies I don't think that will be happening any time soon, there's only usually 2-3 days a year warm enough round here to get yer kit off...and usually I end up working on those days, thankfully ! :eek:

    Rocket arrived today

    Thanks for all the great welcome comments, Lincolnshire UK sounds very different to Canberra Aus or Illinous Us at the moment.....mores the pity. Just working out what to change at the moment but I really want a riders backrest and a passenger sissy bar/rack to keep her on the back...on the back...
