I managed to get my hands on a Jardine GP-1 for a 2008 GSXR-750.
I fabbed up a bit of ugly mid-pipe 10.75 inches long and stuck her on the bike with the baffle in place and took her for a shot around the block.
On the way back I saw Christians praying in their front lawn. I asked them what's up and they said they thought the four horsemen of the apocalypse were approaching and judgement day must be here. They looked kind of happy??? Go figure.
The noise is ridiculous. I'm still giggling like a kid.
Not sure of the street-legality of it but I'm very convincing playing dumb if anyone in authority asks.
I'm taking it to work this afternoon (40 mins through the twisties to get there, 45 mins on the highway home) to give it a test both hammering and cruising.
It looks the shiz and sounds like I'm ripping it up.
I just can't stop laughing.
I've heard about valve burnout and ensuring that it's running richer (possibly jetting). I think the Oz bikes run richer anway due to differing emission standards??
Anyhow, it's a bit of fun and definately brought on a big smile.
