Number3's Metal Mule is here!

Ordered my Metal Mule 2into1 system and it has arrived. I cant fault the service of the people at Metal Mule - it really was top notch. They offered to re-pack the system in smaller packaging to save costs (as I live in Sweden and they are UK) so it only cost 30gbp to send. Not bad at all.

The quality of the finish is excellant, and it sounds amazing. The whole bike feels different (in weight - havent riden it yet as its been raining and I have been in Gothenburg on business). It feels like my mates RS250 now. Cant wait to see how the bike handles now.

Here are a few pics. We all love the pics.




Some more pics can be found here:

lol, yeah but 1 lightweight stainless leg with more power is better than two heavy lead legs that add 20kgs to the bike!!!

I think once I have tidied up the tail (and I dont just mean put the RH side indicator back on properly) with mini idicators, LED rear light extra it wont look so lop-sided.

Problem is I took it off to fix the can on, and havent put it back yet as I want to refit them again as some air is coming out of the joint between the silencer and the link pipe. I was tired (it took forever to get the orginals off) and it isnt quite on right. But easily sorted - if you come over tomorrow

Very nice, the headers look even better than the Off The Road ones.

was it easy to fit?

Hi

was it easy to fit?

do you have to remove, or change the position of anything?

Very very easy to fit. It took about 1 hour (inclusing taking the old set off). The only thing you need to move is the rear brake fluid resevoir, but the exhaust system comes with a special braket to move it out the way, so it is no problem at all.

They say that you do not need either to protect any tubes from the heat (as the pipe now runs close to the coolant pipe) but for my own personal peace of mind, I ordered some heat protective tape to go around the coolant pipe. I am sure it would never melt but just in case. The exhaust kits also comes with some heat reflective pad to go under the airbox to prevent that from melting. However the airbox is right about where the pipe goes so I guess this could potentially melt without some sort of heat reflector.

Regards,
Number 3
