Thanks for the pictures. I have been pondering about this addition.

Also, I had heard that this can cut down on speed. Have you noticed a difference in your Saturday testings?

P.S. Be careful with the copper. They are stealing it left and right here in the U.S.

Hi,

Its a little down on top speed - or rather it takes longer to get there - but its not by much and its very hot here for the UK (26 centigrade) and humid which never helps her. I think I will keep this mod because it quietens down the bike and makes it sound much more refined than the screaming banshee wasp it used to be.
They are cutting copper out of live electric lines and phones lines in the UK - but they wont get far with the bike exhaust - its not copper - tis brass pipe the same you'd use for water pipes and the like.
Im looking for sponsorship for Sasha's Run btw... (see thread)

Jemma xx
