Which end to start when fitting Motad system
« on: January 15, 2022, 07:08:23 PM »
Sorry it's a basic question obvious to many but....
Do I attach the silencer to the bracket loosely first then the front pipes or start with the front pipes the attach the silencer? At what point to I tighten the front pipe clamps to the head?

Yeah Gaga seems good to me too. We've got a Lady Gaga, he can be Lord Gaga. Or if he's ever on the wireless Radio Gaga.

500/550 instructions. It suggests 1&3 then 2&4 on later. Sort of works. May be same for 400. I mark the pipes to so I know how far they are in when finished. Sometimes need a whack with rubber mallet.

I know how you feel. The bloody autocorrect can be a nuisance and when typing in a rush I don’t routinely check my spelling or grammar. My old English master would have had a fit.

It can lead to minor amusement, which can’t be a bad thing.

Update to fitting the exhaust I'm too knackered to do anything the Virus has not yet left me. Shame as the weather is quite mild here. Always another day.
