Today wasted. Spent all day stuffing around trying to make brackets up for centrestand to rest against. Have accomplished but not totally happy. Now in two minds, get the proper Yoshi bracket or take your advice Eric,remove it. Just refit when needed without springs. Got a ride in with it. removed end baffle. Much quieter than last can, sort of same right thru revs whereas last one really sounded nice from 3k revs on. No difference in performance. I do like the blacked out look rather than the big shiny. Will think out options.

My last on this. Today, BJ, who gave me Tri Oval, delivered to my door the proper Yoshi centrestand bracket. Brand new in plastic bag. I cant believe your output Mate. Just incredible. This 14 owners club never ceases to amaze me. The generosity, not just for me but other stories i read, people helping people. It sure beats reading about the crap in the world. Long live this site.

I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

I said the last but one more. Fitted the centrestand bracket, mongrel job but got there. This is 4th can ive tried on my bike. Three others all make slightly diff noise, Yoshi much quieter, end baffle out. Much deeper sound. This is only one that has made any difference to grunt. Much more from 3 k on. Really moves along, sure notice the difference.

Grog, thanks for the feedback I asked earlier on. Think I´ll go for the yoshi too. Some interesting prices on the euro sites.

My last post on Yoshi, 3rd time. 😂 Thought a pic needed. Came as all stainless, decided some black would hide dents. It has. Many coats of high temp, sanded between coats, just kept piling it on. Reckon it came up nice. Looks as new from most angles.

Grog, that looks a sharp 14 you have there!   :onya: :clapping:  You got different bars on there too?   Yep, the more you look at it, the more I can see why you always come back to it, it's just all there eh.   :smitten:  :cheers:
😎  Always looking for the next corner.  😎

Thanks Col. I try to keep her clean. Nice now with a bit more grunt with Yoshi. Stock bars, i like them, i know others dont, just bar ends which work well. Next mods are , Smaller indicators, arrived today. Will polish headlight brackets n clutch cover. Hammerite fork legs. Big decision on peg hangers and swing arm, black or polish. Maybe Hammerite and polish chain cover for balance.Never got tired of planning stuff in 10 yrs, keeps an old bloke happy.
