If it comes to a choice of once a year swapping my lovely noisy Arrow for the original pipe to pass an mot or just putting up with the horrible muted sound of the original Yamaha item.... Then rest assured I'll be getting my spanners out.
On a bike that I use to weave in and out of traffic...
Just ordered the Arrow from Italy. Ebay seller and just less than five hundred quid delivered.
