scrub what i said about the possibility of needing a mille swing arm - you will definitely need one!

It's one of those mods, where when you need to get everything, it's either over priced on evil bay, or there is nothing floating about for sale. Opposite to that, you concentrate on another mod in the meantime, and everything is available, yet you don't have the funds. Sods law, but it does work out eventually.

You can fit a single sided mille exhaust with the standard swingarm but the headers will need a little persuasion to clear the swingarm. Been running mine for about 9 months now like that.

Just to be clear .... D-Rider also did the temporary job with the plumbing and the Falco cooler (and made about as good a job of it as is possible) - but then decided that it needed doing properly and fitted the Mille item.

As for the mille exhaust - yes as the pics show it can be made to fit with a Falco swinger ..... but then you don't end up with the lovely Mille swingarm .....

Well it's not yours - Mine's more black than yours, as is Hannas ...... in fact any with the black frame are more black than yours - plus they also have some nice paint in other colours above the "undercoat"

The standard indicators are a design classic. Perfectly mirroring the rounded twoness of the exhausts and the two tail lights that are sort of roundish and the two holes in the fairing for doing something or other.

Good effort Keith

And don't worry about us - we taught Waldorf and Stutley all they know....

Well I tried with one like the sporty kids but it made the other side of the bike really really noisy.

When I was a youth I had the cans off my CX for some reason or other. Thought I'd be daring and start it up. It made exactly the same noise as with them on...
