MTC save gearbox wear!

Hi Chaps,

Just a bit more feed back after 1 day of having my MTC single can on.
On my commute to work today I recon I changed gear half as many times as usual, literally , no longer going 5th to 4th to 3rd to 4th 5th and so on to prevent the old judder/ kangerooing when trying to pull a high gear at low revs.
The bike is now what I always expected a big single to be like unstrangled , flexible and punchy with a fair turn of speed but not "fast".
I know the exhaust is in conjunction with my other kev+o2+ air filter mods but it is the final piece of the jigsaw as far as Im concerned and has really made the bike so very much nicer to ride.
I contacted MTC when I realised it was a bit too noisy and they said they would get another baffle in the post straight away, what a company, their service really is among the best Ive ever had.
But until I get that I just welded a perforated washer on the end of the baffle and hey presto , a bit of a bark but not so noisy everyone stares and your deafened going along.
Ive now pretty much done all the mods I wanted to so bike is finished for the moment (apart from tool tube, heated grips ...... ), heres the list from standard to how I wanted:-

-Kev mod
- O2 mod
- Stage 1 +2 air filter and snorkel removed
-Air pump bypassed
-MTC single can
-High screen
-40MM lowered
-TKC 80 tyres
-Metal Mule panniers
-Built in garmin sat nav
-Engine bars and sumpshield
-centre stand
-tail tidied
-Inflatable pillow (air hawk seat too pricey) with sheepskin for long journeys

Ill put a pic on once Ive sussed how? and thanks to anyone who answered my questions over the last months.
