So back to the grind stone on the db2 ... getting closer. Here is a sneek at the revised colour scheme, due to popular demand, less stripes , different colour.

Do you think the new exhaust is to big?

When it comes to size "too big" doesn't exist ..... Be interested to see further down as to how its tailored into the 2 headers.
Hope your're going to heat wrap your seat unit or is it intended for Artic use? |

Its the original headers all the way back to the mini can at the back. I tried all sorts of arrangements with 900ss exhausts with standard and 2 into 1 systems but they all fouled the swing arm or side stand. I do have lots of heat shield for the seat, so fingers crossed. It is to loud for my normal taste but we shall see how it feels on the road. test later on in the week. _________________ Pomps
