b'locks.

The Triumph has twice the power of a similar sized Harley and is a LOT smoother and better made than ANY Harley.

Just as well that I don't have a Harley then

Yep, at the back, above the cross member, the LCA and the driveshaft...they even provide a special "oil deflector" so you don't cover everything in oil when you take it off.

!

Thats a new addition Ivor the old Hondas just covered everything including the person under it trying to lift it out in Black stuff

My Dad had a hissy fit changing the plugs on his Vette Dave...had to go up and calm him down before he did something he'd regret

What a nasty Job

I don't blame him.
But I am glad I did it first because then it made fitting the new serpentine belts seem easy.

That one was clean over my head, Dave.

I also intrigued that AllKillers' dad's 'vette was called "Dave".............Not really a Hairdresser's name; or so I thought......

Ducati? Owned by Audi mate.

FAIL.

Owned by Piagio, a bloody scooter manufacturer.
Get your facts right.....

Guzzi built the first V8 powered bike as well, doncha know.............and Guzzi is Europe's oldest murdercycle manufacturer..............

Ah Moto Guzzi.

Now I would like those if they didn't look so damn ugly.

Heathen!!!

How can you say a Moto Guzzi Le Mans Mark I is ugly???
They are so low you can get a woman between yourself and the saddle

Brilliant Cafe racers!!!

The lad has no taste...............

Making some of the exhaust gas by-pass the silencer.

Better sounding exhaust.
Cooler trunk floor.
Possibly a scavenging effect.

It cost nowt so what the hell.

It isn't much louder than it was before to be honest. More of a "burble" at idle though. You can't have enough burble in my opinion.

Neat job that Dave, I wonder what effect that'll have on the engine management system, will you be able to track any changes on your laptop set up?

Dave-R · Post by **Dave-R** » Wed Mar 06, 13 1:58 pm

Nah I don't monitor anything. I just drive the thing. I was more interested in making it sound like I was driving a V8. I miss the sound of a Mopar too much.

Dave, you're a tart!

If that is a step up from a slut I'll take it.

It's only a Covette Ivor. It's not like they even need fiddling with.
