done a few bits & bobs over weekend, repainted drums, put in new exhaust system (much quieter) and gave it a good clean and polish.
Image

Old exhaust system was 4-2-1, decat, straight thru to backbox, was too loud!
Image

Now i got 4-2-1 with cat and centrebox, less headaches :)
Image

And just some random pics i took...
