Hi Mutisnuts
Stunning looking Bike, has the bike been to South leverton, I am sure I saw it or one like it there last year.

Thanks for all the comments, will put something together this weekend about the build and upload some rebuild pictures and hopefully meet you riding around Lincolnshire this summer, may even put in an appearance at the rally if possible, just for one of the ride outs.

At the risk of a threadjack, I tried a Strader 3 into 1 on the dyno on the Phat Trakka and it made a few less horses than one might have hoped for. On the street though it felt stronger at low speeds and similar at the deep end and it sounded quieter and nicer that JEMCOs but not as strong. Funny thing is that Jemcos on mine were so noisy that I rode with as little throttle as possible but with the Strader I could give it more stick, so it was faster like that than the more powerful JEMCO pipes.

Life is full of those funny paradoxes.

I have a JEMCO/OMAR's three into one to try on the dyno and with any luck I'll get a chance to try Bassani and Modified J&R pipes back to back - if I ever get this bike finished.... :oops:

As for the filth comment, it was when I saw Richard Lindoe's Rizla GT750 at Stafford show a few years ago that sowed the seed for me to build something close to what he built, although I could not afford to build with MV running gear. Actually met Richard at Cadwell last year and think he was pretty impressed with the build
