Thanks guys, sounds like it is the way to go.
I think removing the stock pipes is best, as I could put them back if needed.
Gibbo1974, I might just take you up on your offer and pop by over a weekend to see for myself, I am just down near Faversham , I think I have seen pictures of you bike on the forum, but seeing and hearing the real thing will be better. Can I PM you in the week ???
