What's that nut for? :confused1: aesthetics?


It looks good right now!
I do suggest you get some stainless steel cleaning solvent ---similar to those soaps that have "sand" in them so we can clean grease on the hands--- because when dirt and oils and whatever else catches on the downpipes it will turn them weird looking unless you clean'em. Mine did..

Your bike looks great mate. I'm still waiting for my headers to be shipped but I'm not in a major rush.

Kedo charged a lot less to ship them to Scotland than an English based company was wanting for an alternative make.

C'mon the liquorice!

LOol!

I was also kinda wondering what the "candy" was when I got my downpipes lol I think they're still in the box

lambdaprobe Don't need one..
my mechanic has one similar that has to be sticked on to the end of the can.

Still, Jens... what's the average ratio you get on your bike through the revs?

Kedo still can't set a date for the downpipes to be stocked so I've had to give up and order a set of Motad ones. Bit of a bummer but Kedo have been up front, honest and easy to deal with.

I was going to order from Wemoto as their service is great but I've just found downpipes a fair bit cheaper at Raw Power Motorcycles(Trading as LM spares). Has anyone used this company before?

Cheers,

Jack

Shame you couldn't wait for the next batch of Devils to be knocked up, they say it may take a while & then two weeks later they are shipping.

The Motad ones have to many joins for my liking, but at least you still get the liquorice to munch on ordering with Kedo.

Mezo.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
