£200! That’s got to be reasonable Roo!

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Trust the front pipes are numbered Roo otherwise it will be like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube!

Oddjob:
Bargain at £200, why can't we get stainless pipes for the 500 and the 550, they'd sell loads at that price.

Laverdaroo:
Yup, couldn’t quite get over how cheap they were and like I say, the welds are nice! Not fab, but, nice so all good!
Yeah I think they’re numbered and should be too much of an issue, more the fact I still have the original pipes on her, they’re 21 years old now so not done too bad I reckon but one of two things will happen.


1. Snapped studs, Anglo Saxon a go go

 or…..

2. They’ll fall off as they’ve had enough now and time to die

Considering it’s a known fault they‘be lasted really well. The reg rec is supposed to be an Achilles heel too but I still  have the OE one on there

You think of the time gone into them, materials, wages, transport and packing and you wonder how there’s a profit in it for the manufacturer

Laverdaroo:
Bit of progress due to the tank coming back from a chap in Bristol who’s been fettling the dents for me, a few folk shy-ed away from it as they didn’t want to play with anything this old but this chap’s  done a fab job!   Â£60 all in
Primed it for me too which is nice!

I saw it before it was painted and there’s minimal filler and all boshed out by hand so quite chuffed with that.

That spurred me on to fiddle further with mudguards etc so we’re on it with the Isopon P38 this morning to get things ready for paint
