Hi Dave, well your almost there mate.... ;) when i click on that link i can see your tank, just to the bottom left of the pic it says "share this pic" there are 4 links, the bottom link is the "IMG code", put your cursor on the actual link and click on it and it automatically saves the link, then all you have to do is "paste" the link into your post. You won't see the pic until you "post" your reply....Nice looking bike mate..

Here is a step by step method.
Open two browsers with photobucket on one and SOHC4 on the other.
Start your thread then toggle over to photobucket
Double click on the image in your photobucket page at the left under share this image will be 4 options.
Left click on the 4th (IMG code) to highlight it
Right click on the highlighted option and choose copy
Toggle back to your thread on SOHC4 and right click and chose the paste option and a line of code will be displayed.  That will be your photo.

gday lenny thanks,same colour aswell,ive never had a stock4-4 exhaust on it,this was a one piece chrome 4-1 with a rusted through muffler,i cut it off and had the headers dechromed then sourced a 45mm straight through resonator (its a walker brand)ive reduced the outlet with a thick washer down to 26mm,it takes the drone out and also gives a little more back pressure and feels more crisp through the whole range,i reduced it twice to come up with this diameter,i guess it sounds like any 4-1,its not barky or crackly,the motor is stock except for 1st over size XL 125 pistons(domed,i had the combustion chambers releived) and boyer ignition,its a standard airfilter that i disassembled completly using a soft flame to melt the glue,put it back together with loctite two pack glue and fashioned "finer filter"foam using three layers to make an oil wetted filter,you can hear the induction noise over the exhaust when riding it!its also got "sun rims"alloy rims and zinc spokes,,as far as the mufflers looks(it aint no show pony) its a love or hate thing,for the money i spent ill bet its as good as any expensive performance muffler youll buy,oops ,,thatll start a discussion!!!
