    Hello all,
    Newby here. I've had a look through messages and cant find an answer to the following (sorry if I have missed it);

    Has anyone got and fitted the Zard Low mounted exhaust system to their T120? If so, can you still get easy access to the side stand - from the pictures on the Zard website it looks as if the the side-stand is obscured by the body of the silencer.

    Also, as it removes the cat would I need a retune?

    Thanks in advance.

    As you are removing the cat, you certainly would require a retune.

    So, decision made - I pick up the T120 in 2 weeks and am going for the SLeeper Pro instead of the Zard.
    Wish me luck

    Is this the Sleeper Pro by British Customs?

    Do you mean the Zard, or the Sleeper Pro?

    Hi.
    Yes, Sleeper Pro by British Customs.
    I decided against the Zard system mainly because of the reduced access to the side-stand which was confirmed by the sellers agent.
    British Customs are currently quoting 10-14 days delivery but will confirm this as soon as I have ordered them.
    Also, photos to follow once they are fitted.

    So, the bike is now just over a week old with a few hundred miles on the clock, having not ridden one since the 1hr test ride back in August of last year - such a very very long time to wait.

    With hindsight and a poor memory, I have to admit to being somewhat hasty regarding my intent to buy a new exhaust. I seem to remember it sounding not-quite-so-good during the test ride ....... however, now, with a few hours in the saddle, I can honestly say that it sounds great with the stock pipes so I am going to stick with them (for a while at least) and save myself some cash.

    The low rumbling roar under a good helping of right wrist is addictive and sometimes very difficult to resist. I have even stopped wearing my noise cancelling headphones
    My apolpgies to Zard and British Customs but no sale from me this year.......
