    In July I ordered a Gianelli exhaust and its finally arrived. When I brought the box in I thought something was missing as box was so light. Do have the original exhaust setup I had for the red bike and intended to use that for authenticity (its soaking in caustic soda as I type), but I think if this is sprayed black it's not that different in profile. It cost me £156 delivered and bar the delay in receiving it happy with that. No idea what bike will run like with it, anyone know?
    I'll weigh both systems later and put up the difference.20191004_160734-576x1024.jpg

    @oldman I know the difference between DEP and stock was mental. That's probably 50% of the performance gain :face_with_tears_of_joy:

    That said, original exhaust was built to last. And a stock gutted pipe did well!

        Fitted the exhaust, and the bodywork first fit. Ordered missing original bolts, should be my last order hopefully. All panels new but r/h panel over exhaust a bit scratched. Need to try and polish out. Stickers next!20191005_183420-1024x576.jpg 20191005_183506-1024x576.jpg

              Problems with the stickers means that's delayed. DT on scoops wrong colour, should be white on black (have yellow on black), mid section decals all wrong, have nos one for r/h scoop and ordered l/h scoop one this eve. Will get them reproduced when it arrives so colour matches rear panel decals, pocs to follow.

                  Yeah, looking fabulous. Adore the contrast in colours. Really love how you've done a true to the original job. Literally the replacement for @scrimsmustang 😛

                    Nah, there's only one scrim. Last time I spoke to him some scrote has nicked his red side panels parked up at a bike night. Cant even leave your bikes parked now. He did a blue one a while back but think he sold it on.

                              Thanks for that but still not as original fitment, closer than I have now though. When the left hand graphic (genuine Yamaha) gets delivered I'll get both left and right copied along with correct white on black DT graphics. A bit OCD maybe?

                                        Have my wheels back at last, powdercoaters took ages and missed inner hub areas. Misunderstood my instructions to not coat bearing surfaces for disc and sprocket, rather than wait another 5 weeks took them and sprayed with black enamel paint. Local bike mechanic rebuilt wheels including new rims £150 cheaper than Central Wheels without new rims. Really pleased with the result, hopefully fit this weekend. Waiting for decals back from reproduction then it's the end???20191125_162456-1024x576.jpg
