Monday morning. 

200k / 125 miles for a coffee.

200K (125 miles) prob took ya an hour & a quarter Tony, cause of traffic . . .

Floating Cafe,  didn't when Grantham flooded.
But seriously it's not a bad cafe 🥘🌯☕️☕️🧁🥧

Cool this morning, so thought I would take the fully faired bike out, the Pan Euro. Doing my usual irish back roads was getting into it. Then over a rise we decided to get airborne, all was good and a nice landing then a rather large change in exhaust note.

[KiwiCol]

Must have been a fairly heavy landing for the ST.  Least it's in an easily accessible spot & a man of your talents will be able to fix that up with a bit of braising in short order.   

You could get all carried away & re-sculpt that end of the link pipe arrangement, but it's probably not necessary really.

[Irish in Oz]

Anything that lands with me on it is going to be heavy. No braising gear but a chance to use my recently purchased tig/mig/mma welder from Lidl (Aldi).
If that doesn't work I have an expert on hand. It's a weird manifold looks so restrictive but it seems to work.

ST1300?

From memory that area looked different on the ST1100 I had. I can confirm a ST1100 shouldn't get lots of air over a humpbacked bridge with a 20kg sack of dogfood riding pillion as they land very nose high...

[Irish in Oz]

ST1100, but it could be different as the headers and collector box where changed by previous owner.

[Hooli]

I don't remember a collector box, just a Y-piece. Mine was the original pipes but rather rotten.
