Styling opinions please?

That touring at the bottom looks fast though with that red rally paint (not a pen) guessing of course, on second thought don’t do it ishrub will never let the proof go and will relentlessly remind you of said moment in time as the red turns to pinkish red as he says
 
Hopefully the guy your trading pipes with has a roadster or any other rocket with roadster peg position on it. Otherwise they will be branded about the mid calf. That being said the color would stand out more but it still looks like you hit a garbage sack on trash day amd left it stuck on the bike !!!

Bellypan fairing YES, that's NICE!!

Flyscreen (known as a batwing I believe) not so much my style, but it WOULD look good, just doesn't fit me.
 
I would offer, if buying anodized red items stick with reputable companies like Pazzo (authentic only), Rizoma, Pro-Bolt, Driven etc. Their reds stay red over time and their blacks don't fade to gold like cheap anodizing does.

When we eventually cross paths you'll see none of the anodizing from any of those companies has faded whatsoever.

A nice touch, I think, is the Driven Halo gas cap. A little spendy, buy no more key malarky and can be easily operated with a gloved hand, one of my favorite little changes over the years. Also has color options

On levers - eventually- it wears off anyway. Gloves abrade. - Well they do if you ride the ruddy thing.

I'm not rich enough to buy a motorcycle and watch it collect dust. The floor of my garage does that well enough without several thousand dollars worth of fine British engineering helping!

The exhaust issue is moot though, as I'm working on trading the Carpenter for a Reband.

Why? They both have springs don't they? ........


I have a set of Rebands with a CES rear muffler in the shed. I got them from @Mittzy but with a couple of other poor owners between us. And I have actually owned them twice now, but only once in possession

Been researching and Mittzy not only welded them together - " Look no springs Ma! "

He also plugged and re did the heat shield bosses as the heat shield bolts used to go straight through the pipe wall on early versions. He put the thicker flange plates on as well as matching up to the contrasting CES sourced rear can.

I am not sure if it has a CES collector now too?

If you get them welded together read this excellent advice from our resident exhaust Engineering, Artistry and Craftsmanship guru @Paul Bryant .
