So the 'covering it with a big pannier' trick didn't work then :lol:

So exhaust and your sorted, Id be pretty pleased with that.

First thing i noticed is the amount of pull. Also where are the ammo boxes from? And best of luck with the retest. I guess this wont be a dispatch bike.

Well, I reckon it'll be a part-time despatch bike ;)

Boxes are a one off, originally made by Apophis, who sold to someone else, who sold to me :lol:


Now, I also need to get myself a speedo as mine's not working :roll:

Well done Madstu.

How comes you didn't put it in the car. You can put anything in a Volvo :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've got a 740 and used that with a trailer (a bit bigger than yours) to get my basket case
from Withams......and then another ocassion (spelling?) to meet both Simon and Alex
to get some spares and swaps.

Nice pics and good luck with the re test.

Mine for an MOT soon once I've fix my rear brake and pugged my exaust with 6 tins of
"gun gum" :lol:

Cheers,

Keith.

On this occasion ( ;) ) I decided not to in case of fluid spillage in the car. Plus it's huge! How would I get it in? :lol:

And I don't know why I hadn't thought about gungum before, lol, think I got some around here somewhere... 8-)

lol, that was one of the reason's I bought the Volvo!

Just like Baldrick kept a bullet with his name on it - so he wouldn't get shot, I've got a Volvo with my name on it :lol:

The problem now, in my experience is that the BMW drivers seem to be taking over from the Volvo brigade. :?

What's others comments on this.

I just took the exhaust and carb off.

Cleaned up the exhaust and sprayed it black with Ă‚ÂŁ5.99 halfords paint. It dried a matt black colour, looks like a blackboard, but much better than before - Looks great!

Now I need to put it back together again, Hopefully all sealed properly. ;)

I've put my carb back together again as well - didn't do the mod yet because I've just lost my carb stripping virginity :oops: so want to make sure it works without leaking first!
