    Vance and Hines Exhaust

    I may be wrong, but I think the cat is located in the front part of the exhaust pipes, so these pipes would not contain the cat. Happy to be corrected!

    Vance and Hines Exhaust

    Exactly the same as you re: the sound. I think I've watched all the YouTube vids with the Vance exhaust, and there seems to be little or no difference compared to the stock fishtails. In fact, watching comparisons between the two, the originals seem to sound better/louder?

    Advice on removing light swirls on paintwork

    Rear Footpeg Delete Plugs

    Pillion foot peg plug removal.

    Still having trouble removing these damned things 😂. What tool did you use? Noticed you said the plugs are threaded, so did you just turn anti-clockwise to loosen, and then just pull out?!

    Looking for a rear/pillion seat 🪑

    I'll probably go for the rather uncomfortable original to be honest 😂. Any idea what you'd be looking for in terms of price at all?
