Hi Norrie,
It came with the bike when I bought it!!

[dme28]

Took the bike out for first run with new seat and tps reset today , seat is comfortable and i really like the new riding position. Very happy camper
First pic is seat before the chop

Very nice, you've unPAIRed too, methinks!

Yeah nice headlight dme28, looks great, but maybe get non-orange indicators to modernise her completely?

May take you up on indicators!!

Nice exhaust system. Is it a one off, or readily available?

Can we see a side shot of the exhaust pipes V4mp? One thing i did notice with the "black box" is that it seems to work best on a standard bike , once i fitted my pc2 and tried a couple of different maps it doesnt seem to have the same effect although i can tell when it is on and still use it in warm up period of bike.

Exhaust system is G&G high-version, cant find which one exact but some dark grey ones.
But old owner had stupid looking muffler covers, you can see here


and when i removed them, they had scratched cans. So I sanded cans a bit to get constant surface and that makes that "unique" look.

Here is your wanted side shot, can get better and more if you want to.

I've gotta admit high pipes look great, but I'm put off by the fact that very occasionally I do want to attach my soft panniers. Maybe I should review my "kitchen sink" approach to camping, and aim to only take what I can fit in a tailpack!

[ozzraptor]

Yeah those high pipes look the business!

[V4mp]

I did cover tapes to footpeg hangers today, because my boots them and it ruis last winter powder coated paint

Also painted indicator pods which were pretty rough. Didnt came perfect but better than they were. Paint them at the latest next winter
hopefully sooner.

A parcel from netherlands arrived today, my donor airbox . It was in pretty good condition , the icing on the cake was the near new k&n filter inside so all in all not too bad for $50 ,although postage was nearly as much again. It got here in 7 days puts Austpost to shame!

[Spyke]

Yeah I'm consistently impressed with delivery times from the UK - a jacket ordered Monday arrived Friday, a chain and sprocket kit ordered Wednesday arrived Tuesday, but sending that bracket to you, in only the next state over, took over a week with Auspost!

Yes i know, interstate they say a "coupla days" yeah right, sometimes a week to get stuff from queensland !
Well on another note, no pun intended, i dont know what to do with my exhaust. I have some high level pipes for it like in the pictures above which look really sweet, or i can rip the whole lot off and start again which is what i am thinking of doing. I have 3 yosh tl full system headers , one i can make into a 2-1 or go the 2-2 route and still retain the high level pipes hopefully. I will know more once i pull the stock headers off .
Airbox that came with k&n

My collection of headers,3 tls full system, and 1 raptor 1000 stock,also the new high level pipes at front

[Spyke]

Well at least you have lotsa bits so you have choices!

High level pipes do look great, but would probably mean limited potential to simply throw soft panniers on for a weekend away - but then again a tailpack may fulfill any needs in this direction.
My main concern would be excessive bum heat - being a peely-wally Scot by birth means that whenever it hits 30 I'm already plenty warm, a toastie butt would not increase my riding comfort - maybe you could cope with some appropriate heat shielding in that area though.
I'm no automotiove expert, but I thought I'd read on here a 2-1 has the potential to screw up power delivery, so I wouldn't be heading in that direction, personally I love the symmetry of a 2-2 from behind! [ooh, err, missus!]
