Installed my new Motogpwerks exhaust

Does Chris have any for the 550??

Dunno, try calling him.  (714) 223-0111
I called him for months trying to get mine. He took my name and number and said he'd call when he made a batch. 6 months later I saw them on Ebay, so I bought it. He never called me, though. I'm certainly not mad about it; the exhaust is great.

Thanks for the reply, have tried calling.  I'll keep checking Ebay I guess.

...I talk to him regularly through my wifes facebook page too.... ;)

Now I know why you get good offers from him. He thinks your a hot Aussie chick, Mick!!

How do you know he isn't?


Ha.....good point.  He does have pretty hair!

Left the key on and killed the battery on it.  That was a pleasant suprise after gearing up, getting everything together and ready to head out at 5am this morning to work.

Looks similar to my living room last winter. I had the 750 tucked up near the fireplace, you know, to keep warm ;D

Resumed sanding the dyno cover. Damn battery acid burns are HARD to sand out.

Patched the holes in the exhaust of my $300 FJ1100 project. Been a while since I've used my MIG welder so it was a bit chicken sh!t looking. Ground it smooth and painted.

I came home after reading through the forums today and just had to take her for a ride. The front brake is a little squeaky and I hope its just from not being ridden as much and all of the rain we have had lately. I adjusted the cam tensioner a little since I seem to remember a little more clattering than usual last time. (could have been my wife though)

 Man what a nice night for a ride. I cruised through Homewood and Soho, then up through Mountain Brook and Old English Village, back down through Highlands and across Five Points and finally up the mountain past The Vulcan to head home.
I am seriously considering installing clubmans... I know... I know... don't give me any grief.

Successfully completed my first attempt at wheel building. Laced my newly powder coated CB500 front hub to an aluminum 18" rim with new spokes from buchanans.
