    Hi to all. I've been a member for a while but pretty much been away for the whole time since joining with work so not posted before. I've got a 2011 ABS repsol that I bought brand new last year. Hopefully if I do it right there should be some pics - original and a few with the mods I've done so far.

    Drew.

    Hopefully this works....
    Pic of original bike as picked up from dealers, pic of halfway through exhaust fitting and one of as it is now.
    All ive changed so far is putting on R & G tail tidy, rear seat cowl and in last couple of days fitted the Leo Vince GP Pro slip on with carbon heat shield. More to come as funds allow:)

    Yeah I've not done many miles, it's a year old in march and I've only done 2400 miles. Hopefully I'll get some miles racked up this year. I've been out for a few hours today but it was still bloody freezing :mad:

    Thanks Jamie. I love the can but it felt like very hard work fitting it. Im not great at mechanic type stuff but even so, the instructions from Leo vince were pretty special. I don't know if that's what all the instructions are like or if it's just me.

    I write instructions for a living aircraft/ ships and I struggle with some of the manufacturers instructions :(
    You have done a good job, a well deserved pat on the back is required :)

    Cheers Jamie, I'm very happy with it. Much deeper rumble than the stock can which is what I was after.

    Hi Drew.

    It might be safer to eat in that restaurant than it is to lean against it if Givover built it.

    Welcome in bud.
