You know it!

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!!

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!

It's a party pack of Shandy Bass and a spray tan kit to match the fakerapovic isn't it!

I'm scared to even see what it is... i can see a Black Widow or something a bit 'cheap' .... i REALLY hope i'm surprised.

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

Assume a package from Notts has arrived

I'll say this though, the one on my 690 held up better than most 2nd hand Akras I've seen!!

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!!

Ignore the first one, I fooked something up there!

According to my display i get something below 50mpg.

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!

That's damn impressive mine never went over 45mpg

With a bike this impressive, you slow down to be seen! Yes that's it, you slow down to be seen...

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.
