Replaced the standard silencer with a Blueflame titanium jobby. Quite fruity low down without bringing the neighbours out with burning torches and murder in their hearts (again). That and maybe the unsticking of the EXUP valve with Rocol Anti-seize stainless [1] has got rid of that horrible hunting around 3-4K rpm. I am most pleased and celebrated by uncharacteristic enthusiasm in my riding style on the way home from work. I haven't got a blog. -- Chris H FZS1000, two#55 When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

BTW Mike, spoke your mate about the Bandit, it's immacualte matey, way too good to ruin as a winter hack. Get it advertised for him. It's like new. -- Nige, BMW K1200S Range Rover Vogue
Problem is you don't get much of a premium for "mint" P reg Bandits, I think he'll hang onto it. Although if he did sell it he wanted this as a project: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1980-BENELLI-RED_W0QQitemZ230379543143QQcmdZViewIte mQQptZUK_Motorcycles?hash=item35a3b0da67&_trksid=p3913.c0.m22 And he called my CB72 ugly!
<blog> I spent time looking at Timo's beautifuly Honda fuel tank. It depressed me considerably. </blog> -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
Don't worry, just for you - project Westfield is in the planning stages, fancy making some fibre glass shiny?
<blog> Phoned the dealer and asked if my new bike was ready for the weekend. He said, "Yes." Yay. </blog>
<blog> Found out that the baffles are retained by a single circlip type arrangement for easy removal. One of the neighbours has just called me a ****. Result. </blog>
I did the baffle out thing on the Bumblebus last weekend. The following day I had to leave for work at 05.30. Oops
