Fitted the new headers. Got hold of the XL500 collars, but yoke holes didn't line up. Cut up old pipes to steal those. All good now. Was hoping I could get away without a muffler because the header is black and just seems to dissappear and look very minimal, but as soon as I started it I knew it would not be possible. Even a idle it was damb near deafening. Even so, took it out and gave it a blast to see if the new pipe would let it breathe better. It just cracks the TON. (Totally deaf now - scared the hell out of some pedestrians when it backfired coming back into town . So with a pipe, some carby work and a good tune it should punt along very nicely.
Oh, and it now has a little stripe down the tank and the "GB400" has gone from the sidecovers. (It is a 600 after all!)
Thinking I will either cut down that front gaurd, or lose it all together. Gators have arrived. Still stuck on the seat.
