All I can say is, parcels and packages are arriving... :D
Tassels, Apehanger Bars and chaps right??

Was going to perform "bolt-on-fest" when I was WFH on Friday, but I've got the Dentist in the morning and Physio at lunchtime and have to drop my Step Dad to the garage to pick his car up late afternoon, and I really have to do some work at some point!! :roll:

TBH, I am waiting for a bit of free space to be able to work on the Triumph. I've been riding it a bit, but I've not had the time to do the work I really want to do, tank off, rear subframe out, give it a jolly good clean, new throttle cable, new subframe and more besides. But I know that I will enjoy doing it and it will be worth the time spent doing it.

I haven't even had a good look round my bike yet! By te time I get home its dark (and cold) and I was too busy at the weekend just gone, but this weekend I hope to have a good look round it and change a few things. It's at times like this, I'd kill for a garage!

SP Engineering do make nice exhausts, so there is an outside chance this could be rather good!

Okay it’s winter and I’m only commuting but that is mixed with 80+ mph A road riding. That’s impressive and unexpected economy!!

Probably cos I'm pootling through traffic, as your mpg is what I was expecting. As most of my riding is that commute though, that's an unexpected bonus!

I had my doubts about their stuff too,but I took a chance on a set of headers,because I couldn't get Akra when I wanted. I've been pleasantly surprised at the fit quality and how they've held up No tooshing about getting things to line up,or anything.. I wouldn't want the cans,but the other bits are fine. £220 against £600+ for the Akrapovic,it was a gamble that paid off.
