Alan H no problem as we all have things that slip our minds especially when really busy . I keep looking for spanner or socket and can't find and then it's in my hand or still attached to extension bar then when I find it's in my hand call myself a burk. Mine is due to age and bangs on the head . Well thank you for letting me know as there's always tomorrow . Alan you did say remind you Monday . Hope you sorted what you was doing today. Tomorrow is another day plus iam not in any rush anyway my friend.

Might manage a couple of single malts later when we get home from the caravan.
Too much beer on Friday evening with a few mates at my pre-birthday outing!
Must be out of practice or summat!! :(
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Single malt sounds ideal Alan I had a few to many beers last night and suffered all day . I can't drink like I use too . Photos look good vulcanman an early 74 fizzy and is that your GT ??? I got full set of standard pipes when I bought my long term project. Not using them as ordered my spannies but keeping them just in case I decide to use em . I think you can buy baffles on fleabay . That's where iam buying barrel from RHS maybe centre. I have my eye on left if Alan doesn't have it . So you must of had a good meet up . I just wish I won lottery 😭😭

Top picture looks like a zed with whale tail n standard pipes . I have a Harris 4 in to 1 another project on hold mind you all my bikes Are on hold . I buy bits for them when I see them for sale and in my price . I bought 750 barrels for my zed 650 1977 C model twin front disc n single rear and the alloys . My GS 425 is under cover but think I have the bits to finish it . My XS 1100 hard tail is under cover my GT is all over the floor in front room .
