Well done sir ....Absolutely not, all above board here. I've done almost 120 miles on it last year too !!
What have you done on your bike today?
- Thread starter The GOAT
- Start date
Africa Twin was Registered today 
and rode back from Padgett’s - filtering most of the way due to an accident on the busiest York race day of the year 
It was as comfy as sitting in my mates car on the way there
Then bought my mate a brekkie for taking me.
Pub soon
Turned out to be a 2026 model too not 2025 so more of a bargain than I thought

Enjoy
Fitted the can - total weight saving 5.3kg
There’s a silver trim piece to go back on yet under the orange belly pan, but there weren’t any bolts provided for the bracket in the kit, so that’ll be another day.
Sounds good just moving it round the car park - going for a ride to see how it is with more revs.

That's a van in the background - tit head
It matches the fridge, did you plan that
Aren't global warming exhausts utterly ridiculous
Absolutely - I can’t think of one benefit.
This new can is the best addition I’ve made to a bike, and it was only £200 including the VAT on import.
It sounds fantastic - you can feel the reduced weight (6kg including the servo motor and cables) especially in low speed bends and around town. And it feels sharper.
The OEM set up must cost a packet, weighs loads so adds to fuel consumption, and does nothing except stifle the bike and give a worse sound. Just looked up the official replacement cost for the parts I’ve removed and it’s over £2k - prob adds a grand to the cost of the bike in the showroom. Replaced with a £200 can and £70 eliminator.
^Hang on to it in case you have to put it back on for the woke brigade
No remap needed. When I removed the exhaust valve motor I added a Healtech eliminator.
The cat is still in place - the link pipe attaches to that.
Got out of bed early this morning and booted to the west coast and met up with the 3 young fellas ... the enthusiasm of youth has me only getting to our accommodation at 8:30View attachment 169375View attachment 169376View attachment 169377View attachment 169378
Great pics! I remember that castle
I did my monthly ride to Herts. today to check up on mother, met up with my nephew and had a good natter. After he had left I went to water the pots on the patio, turned the hose on and nothing came out. I tried to unclip the patio hose fitting and the copper pipe which comes out of the house wall broke.
I turned of the internal tap to isolate the outside tap, emptied the ram jam full kitchen unit, unscrewed it from its neighbours lowered the legs so it can be pulled out for access by the plumber on Monday morning.
I then get a call from our contractor to say our maize will be coming in tomorrow so back down to Dorset after breakfast for a busy week ahead.

Out over my mates house today to fit a set of Dyna coils to another mate's RSV1000 - and an ultimate rectifier (rectifier install did quite work so we removed that) but the DynaCoil install was very successful - mate called me when he got home...over the moon with the improvement. So, that was good. He had to go so me and other mate went out over to Salisbury plains, did a big loop then i headed back to Bristol (Rsv4 and RC8r). So productive day all in all...about 4 hours to fabricate the plate to hold the new coils and a custom wiring loom to connect back into the main loom.
On a side not. Litlock...pretty well fucking useless...too thick to fit in any of the wheels on any of my bikes apart from the rear wheel of the RSV4 and theres only 1 certain place it can go in...you can put it through the spokes but thats nigh on fucking useless as theyd just cut through the spokes....
Too small, too narrow and too fucking thick...all in all pretty well a waste of money.
