MTC exhausts

Received my new exhausts at 0900 this morning - had 'em fixed on by 1030 thanks to good tip from MTC to use some WD40 on the rubber clamps to manoeuvre them before tightening up.

Needless to say I am absolutely delighted with them, they completely transform the look of the bike and at last it sounds like what a large single should sound like - LOUD!

Full marks to MTC for rapid delivery and excellent service.

I am hoping my wife will not notice....

Have you tried being open and honest with her? - No I haven't with mine either!

New exhausts

I fear I will have to be fairly honest with her if I get rumbled but I am pinning my hopes on her total lack of interest in anything mechanical...ie my XT and its beautiful new exhausts.

How could anybody not notice a beautiful pair of brand new stainless steel MTC exhausts and the wonderful un-baffled blast on full throttle acceleration??


She's so easy going that she has not even noticed them even when riding pillion with me so my gamble has paid off!!
