    Just a 1340cc evolution motor. It's been totally rebuilt with new everything inside. Basically stock, but with some mild head/cam work done.

    I didn't want too much motor, as its not intended to be a race bike. I'd buy a Yamaha R1 if I wanted something uber fast.

    Black is the new chrome, well it is when it comes to exhaust pipes

    It was an agonizing decision choosing a set of pipes. 2 into 1 was my first choice, but the only way i could make those work on my frame was to have them sitting way out to clear the oil tank...it wouldn't have looked right like that.



    They're just sitting there in this photo as a mock up at the moment, but it won't take much to make then permanently attached. I think it will look the business once all the black and chrome balance each other out.

    Shouldn't be too loud, they are Vance and Hinds large radius pipes, with built in mufflers. They only have a short header, the rest is all muffler.

    Fingers crossed they'll be legal sound wise??? If not, then I'll go to plan B

    I doubt any of the Harleys I hear in Tauranga area are legal? Or is that because 100+kph isn't legal around town

    Harley's have a unique ability to convert petrol to noise, without the side effect of producing horsepower.
    But riding an Italian bike, I could be slightly biased !

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !
