I've never used Tapatalk & my pixel 6  phone is still a mystery to me TBH I should have stuck with Samsung.

It's now colloquially known as Smackworth for obvious reasons.

Personally I see little justification for using anything other than the original set up for normal road use  - a short metal brake pipe & a normal hose.

How often would one replace braided steel lines?

I would expect a good quality normal flexi-hose  to last betwwen 10-15 years/100K miles  unless damaged in some way during use. Good Quality Braided hose should be similar or better I would have thought.

This is the link for BBCodes  - http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,29228.msg279861.html#msg279861


One benefit of this is you have an easy to access back up set of photos - not sure what the free limit is - I've never had to pay as yet.

On my old foot beat in Derby West was a Co-op garage where all the Milk Floats were charged up overnight.
Believe it or not an empty  Milk Float would be occasionally stolen then dumped on the nearby Mackworth Council Estate.

HFl is a nasty acid easily absorbed through the skin it will leach the Calcium out of your bones - my BiL has terrible hand issues from working with it in the glass cutting etching trade at Webb Corbett in Tutbury.

Welcome to the sohc Forum - I know nothing about the 750 models.

My limited experience is on the 400 & 500 only - many others here know these later two models much better than I do.

Fitted mine and they sound excellent. I used fitting method on this site for fitting stock exhaust.
I am very pleased with them. Had a quick run on bike and all seems good performance wise.

Whose set of instructions did you follow?
It would be good to have a step by step guide as has been suggested.

The before & after photos of the electrics behind the side panel look inpressive - all those now homeless Arachnids good work!

I can speak from experience that the good alloy wheel cleaners like Wonder Wheels that work great also corrode wheels. Merc will not cover alloy wheels under warranty that have had such cleaners used on them. The original W124 alloy wheels were Anodised for the first few years of production before they used paint & lacquer like most others
