MTC save gearbox wear!

Hi Chaps,

Just a bit more feed back after 1 day of having my MTC single can on.
On my commute to work today I recon I changed gear half as many times as usual, literally , no longer going 5th to 4th to 3rd to 4th 5th and so on to prevent the old judder/ kangerooing when trying to pull a high gear at low revs.
The bike is now what I always expected a big single to be like unstrangled , flexible and punchy with a fair turn of speed but not "fast".
I know the exhaust is in conjunction with my other kev+o2+ air filter mods but it is the final piece of the jigsaw as far as Im concerned and has really made the bike so very much nicer to ride.
I contacted MTC when I realised it was a bit too noisy and they said they would get another baffle in the post straight away, what a company, their service really is among the best Ive ever had.
But until I get that I just welded a perforated washer on the end of the baffle and hey presto , a bit of a bark but not so noisy everyone stares and your deafened going along.
Ive now pretty much done all the mods I wanted to so bike is finished for the moment (apart from tool tube, heated grips ...... ), heres the list from standard to how I wanted:-

-Kev mod
- O2 mod
- Stage 1 +2 air filter and snorkel removed
-Air pump bypassed
-MTC single can
-High screen
-40MM lowered
-TKC 80 tyres
-Metal Mule panniers
-Built in garmin sat nav
-Engine bars and sumpshield
-centre stand
-tail tidied
-Inflatable pillow (air hawk seat too pricey) with sheepskin for long journeys

Ill put a pic on once Ive sussed how? and thanks to anyone who answered my questions over the last months.

Amazing the difference a couple of "black boxes" and a losing the cats makes to the Ten - You get an extra 1000-1500 rpm to play with.

Glad you got the noise sorted too.

Get yourself (if you haven't already) an image hosting account with Flickr, Photobucket etc. Upload your pics to your account. Then simply copy the URL of your hosted image into the pop-up that opens when you click on the "insert image tool" on the toolbar when you create a post.

Hmm. Is that the office swivel toilet?

Or a Tenere toilet seat option?

Either way, very innovative lol.
