Did someone mention underseat exhaust ???

Well it has been a while since the Purpleen Bird has been off the road after my mishap at the Mira skills day (those that were there will know what I mean !)

However, after months of planning, designing, dismantling, painting and finally rebuilding, she is ready to go back on the road R#?

One of the main changes is the introduction of a specially designed, one off underseat exhaust made by Zorstec and a 2004 ZX12 radial caliper front end. Various other mods and changes but, too many to list, so, attached are some piccies to give you a flavour.

Very nice mate:yo:. Exhaust is awesome. Presumably the round bits over the tail pipe are LEDS?

Who did the paint??

Not too sure about the wooden block attached to the bottom of the side stand!!:p

Bike totally rebuilt and painted by myself, with the exception of making the exhaust (although I was there and helped make it !) and the airbrushing detail done by a guy named Joeby in Somerset.

And yes, they are LED brake, side and indicator lights above the exhaust.

The wooden block was the finishing touch, it seemed to be missing something LOL
