Exhaust Header Removal

I'm going to be removing the complete exhaust system in a few weeks and was after some advice on the job please.

Re: First gear 'CLUNK'

Oops! Getting worse. . . 0 ^ Sorry to hear this Terry, as Freddy mentioned deff don't bother with a second hand one, unless you can check it first to see if there's any moment... I haven't checked but are new ones still available and if so what price are they ? Best of luck what ever you decide !

If you don't like it maybe they'll fit my Z1000 haha Cheers eddie Well when fitted I'll post a vid, ju...

DaveZ1, I wasn't planning at getting these just yet, but with the no deal on Brexit I wasn't going to hang around in case they decided to stick any charges on top, glad now that I did buy them, either they've ran out or the Brexit business has delayed things. Please post here how you get on, hopeful...

Re: Its Crimbo, My new toy for my 1100 :)

The company that I used will be posted below, they were recommended to me via a Facebook group and I can honestly say they were as good as one would hope.
