[111] 3040x2288 / littleloris
Taunton United Kingdom
 		 Info: New rear set (standard) all connected up. Adjusted the electrical spring for brake light to be more responsive rather than just coming on after stomping on the pedal. Also, adjusted the clamp holding ...

Taunton United Kingdom
 		 Info: You can see the paint flaking off the lower rad. With the fairing on you shouldn't be able to see it but it'd be nice to keep it protected.

 		 Info: Looks much better without the exhaust at all!! Perhaps I should invest in an underseat job..?

Taunton United Kingdom
 
Info: A naked VFR! There are some parts that could do with re-painting, such as lower radiator and top yoke. So very little time though!

Taunton United Kingdom
 		 Info: On closer inspection you can see the state of the weld and what the intentions were. I will try, at some stage, to seperate the can from down pipes and get them polished up and re-welded if possible.

Taunton United Kingdom
 		 Info: Took the annoying flexi-tubing that surrounded the bad welding job from the pipes to the end can. Was held on by a couple of clamps.
[146] 3040x2288 / littleloris
Taunton United Kingdom
 		 Info: Polished up swing arm and heel plate. Camera doesn't really give it justice!
[164] 3040x2288 / littleloris
Taunton United Kingdom
 
Info: The weld from the exhaust was so bad and disfigured that it would scratch the swing arm when the suspension wasn't compressed.

Taunton United Kingdom
 		 Info: Gaskets now out. Time for a clean and polish!

 		 Info: Rear ports with the gaskets still in. Notice the copper-look of the rings.

Info: Gasket removal for front headers. Initially, I couldn't see them and as this was my first shot at changing an exhaust I didn't even know they were there! After some research I gave them a scrub with a...

Taunton United Kingdom
 		 Info: Link pipes showing a bit of rust. If scrubbed back and polished up the pipes cuold look really good.

Info: Exhaust system finally came away. The lowers and silencer weighed, in total, about 3 or 4 kgs. When the pipes came away from the ports I loosened the exhaust hanger and off it came.

Taunton United Kingdom
 		 Info: Upper pipes aren't too bad, but the lowers are a little worse for wear. This is the left hand side. Same happened to the clamp. Amazingly, they weren't broken and were easy to slip up the pipe, despit...
