Ditched that and have finally gotten my tuned pipe fitted up.

31mph uphill! - much more responsive and for some strange reason its also quieter. It doesnt seem to have much effect on fuel consumption but then I can roll along at 1/2 throttle at 30mph when I would have been WOT before!

Thats the good side - the bad side is I managed to break a spoke lol - this setup needs more babying than the stock exhaust did - it has so much more power.

Got the pipe welded and fitted up by a professional shop.. who charged me £40 for about £90 work, and spent a fair amount of the time staring at the bike.

Oddly although the bike is much stronger through all the range of speeds it doesnt seem to be much faster at top end. I cant say that I mind this considering it was already fast enough. I cant recommend a tuned pipe enough - but remember do not ride the bike like you did before, something will break *sigh*
