@Burridge Nah must admit thats not on really!
Fingers crossed though that the performance is at least decent!
Shut up it is!!! HahahaSorted the midguard problem out, a nut between the top of it and the bottom of the yokes gave enough clearance and it looks no different so I'll be leaving it like that. Everything tightened up I took it out and the faff has been worth it. It's transformed it completely, power kicks in at 6000 from the pv opening then at 8000 the pipe kicks in with a nice rasp, and goes on to go off the clock at 80mph
Next problem: melted my boot on it.

What do do next I wonder...

worth the pain mate! -
Not much of an update but gave it abit of tlc the other day.
I must say, if you've had trouble finding products that do what you want to add some good shine, Auto Glym works wonders.
I used Auto Glym rapid detailer on the plastics and tank (their super resin polish didn't touch it, but this spray makes it like new) and their trim gel on things such as air box, clocks, fork gaiters and brake disc cover brings all up really well.http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w402/Burridge1/Mobile Uploads/image_zpso3xfzmr0.jpeg
The only other mods I really have on my list for this bike are a zeeltronic ignition and possibly a WR200 swing arm if I can find one that isn't in fkin Australia or somewhere stupid.

Had a good days riding today, it's ran on top form as usual all day until being about 10 miles from home, whizzing along at 70 when suddenly.... BWAAAAAAAH
power dropped completely and would barely get to 20mph. I thought the header had come off or even worse the pipe had split.
Pulled over and heard it coming from behind the side panel, the pipe was fine thankfully, pulled the panel off and all looked okay, until I put my fingers around the back of the rubber and turned it round
http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w402/Burridge1/Mobile Uploads/image_zpshoxxbnhq.jpegI carried on for a bit but was getting dirty looks and going extremely slow so I pulled over again to see if I could do something with it. Ended up wrapping my glove around it with the Velcro then putting the rest of it up against the pipe, it worked thankfully, got to 50 which got me home okay. Shame about my trusty old richa glove, fully toasted.
http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w402/Burridge1/Mobile Uploads/image_zpsejtvpeg6.jpegSo now I've got to figure out what to do with this. As you can see the chamber is ridiculously out of line with the link pipe of the dep, I'd bodged it on originally hence why it went pop, just wish the Romeu pipe has a better fit.
-
Did you tell Romeu that the pipe wasn't a good fit? I thought he would have it all down to a T by now but it seems not. Can't be selling badly fitting pipes to everyone though.. Tell him your not happy. In the mean time you'll have to manage with another bodge if you need use of the bike.
-
@MIGHTYMAN Nope:( in hindsight I should have done to be honest, but it's been a good few months now since I got it's it's abit late really. I'm gonna look at flexible metal piping to bridge the gap or something like.
Apart from the fitting issue with that and the bracket that bolts to the frame being way out in happy with the pipe, I know what you're saying though, I just guess that he's using a different model dt to make the pipes on, and metal distorts when it's welded too? -

@ConnorDTR do you have a picture matey? I'm still debating what to do to it but I'll probably do something like that. And I think they're called Bridgestone trail wings or trail riders or something, the standard tyres that come with the bike from new:)
