  1. Its a bit like the difference between pilots and engineers, engineers wash their hands before they have a pee.  Engineers keep their @#$$#! clean in the hope someone might want to eat their dinner off it.

     

     

    Welcome to the aviation world.

     

    I thought one breaks them and the other fixes them ...!?!?

  2. Thruxton's OK but as you might have guessed I'm not wild about the handling. A word to the wise tho' if you're thinking of getting one, it is not worth contemplating without a decent exhaust. She was about to sell hers it was so gutless, then got the Triumph-own brand 'not for road use' silencers and decided to keep it.

     

    A friend went similar route ... free flow exhaust and ditched the carbs for some conventional carbs. He had a few weeks of tuning nightmares but then found an old school tuner (as was suggested to him at the start by myself and others ....) and suddenly he had a bike that woke right up and was fun to ride!! Before the mods it wasn't much of a match for the V11 but now it is as responsive and holds its own on the open road. in the corners ......? .... not so much.

  3. Pictures might help ...... with something to indicate dimensions. You could possibly get some pieces from a stock pipe but the can is long on them and the section leading into the can is shorter than most aftermarket systems.

     

    Good luck ...!!
