Bonneville Exhaust/silencers

Hi jj,
Glad you like the pipes thought you would be pleased when you get it out on the road it will make you smile like a cheshire cat I promise get well soon,
Nick.

 

Hi TBB,

Yes a bit strange how it all worked out in the end. Bit of karma involved methinks.

Thanks for the kind words. Think I'll be taking tablets for some time.

Hope the polisher arrived on time and is getting plenty of use.

Thanks Nick,

Marvellous service with the pipes delivery. Next day, first thing. Beautifully packaged too. I could only look and admire them for a few days. Definitely looking forward to a road test.

Again, thanks for the kind words.

JJ

 

I done them with solvol autosol (best polish you can buy for your bike in a tube)and made sure there were no fingerprints on them pipes im a little anal like that please share some pics with us all of your bike when all is done,
Nick.

 

Oh Nick, I just gotta say, what an absolute aural delight from the togas. Finally got to try them yesterday. You're dead right, Cheshire cat doesn't come close. I thought the unbaffled zard slip on fitted to my tiger was a nice pipe. But those togas are on a different level. As you can probably tell I'm well chuffed.

Nice amount of burble and pop on the over run and the engine pulls sweetly. No need for a remap. Will probably leave the Ai system alone too.

Cheers mate,

JJ

 

Hi jj
Im glad your happy with the result I didnt care much for the popping and banging so eliminated the AIS and for the second reason it was running very lean after an inspection of the plugs its only emissions and can be put back safely as used the pump blank resistor block and third reason I didnt care much for the unsightly rod things that covered the plug caps still all this down to personal choice its your bike after all,
The Togas are so well finished in proper metal with nice seam welds I think yes theyre pricey but you only get what you pay for still looking at the arrow 2 into 2 but its big money so I managed to obtain a set of cheap tors to put on for the moment we shall see what the future holds.

 

Hi Nick,

You make a very good case ( x3 ) to remove the AI system. I may well follow your lead. Must admit I don't like the associated plumbing for it at all. I've watched delboys video on the subject. Looks fairly straightforward.

Next priority for my bike is some decent shocks. That banging and crashing into pot holes I get with mine is horrible.

Good luck with the arrow system. You know you need it.

JJ

 

Yes it's an easy job well worth it only £18 ish the chap sends from Athens eBay I'll drop you the link if you like shocks well I got lucky on those found a set of progressives USA on eBay £60 ok not the cheapest at about 250 dollars new but look great and a silky smooth ride
I bought my bike from blade Swindon rode it to Bristol and after that nasty spine jolting experience I ripped the originals straight off

 

Thanks Nick, would you pm me that link please.

As for the crashing into pot holes it's downright bloody dangerous. I should really have sorted that before the pipes. Luckily I'm getting quite good at spotting and riding round the worst holes. But there always one to catch you unawares.

That was a nice find, your eBay shocks. Will keep my eyes open for some.

 

Nice set of shocks you have there

 

That's a nice looking pair there TBB. That new polishing machine is getting some use.

JJ

 

Amazing job good finish love them as they are no need to paint only one problem I can see there mounted upsidedown

 

Hehe only joking how do you get on with those avons ive just fitted them myself only 200 miles on them but they good well grippy its just a matter of how long they last out anything an improvement on the metzelers

 

Im running the progressive 412s this way love them

 

Yes those ME2 metzelers wernt the best front one went square after riding 150 miles rear one was on its way to square they were on the bike when I purchased so cant really complain the exhaust is on the to do list and when the wifey allows it
