Hi, the guys are always happy to help - just do a bit of an intro about yourself, bike and what the bike problem is and hopefully someone can give you an answer [emoji3][emoji106]

Welcome in Brandon
I'm not sure your after the kind of knowledge I can give , I'm not even sure you could even call it knowledge :lol:
The lovely Red is correct the guys here are very helpful but there will be a bit of leg puling and banter along the way :whistle:
This is now more of a community than a forum so as Red says give us a bit about yourself and your biking history and then join in :clap:

Well, I'm at work today and the pictures are at home on the PC, would of been nice to ride it in today so trying my best to get it sorted. :pray:

I ride with a group of friends down in suffolk, ipswich and I've been riding bikes for about 6 years now with the R1 being my fifth bike.

Probably sticking with this one now as it's give me the most trouble. :lol: Got knocked off and had to get myself a driving licence because riding was a bit difficult with a metal palte holding my collarbone together. :doh:

So; here I am fixing a few peices to raise it from the dead and was hoping to seek some help along the way.

I made a post viewtopic.php?f=12&t=15486" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; here as I didn't want to chain off my intro but I can repos tthe question here if it's better that way?

Thanks, the exhaust is awsome, the baffle mounts from the opposite side so it still looks clean and open. It has a deep bark either way. :lol:

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome; I've managed to find a solution to my problem already, been out to the shed and got it sorted too. :dance:

Couple of tasks left to do and it'll be ready to ride again.

Just praying for some good weather now. :pray: :lol:
