New Stumpy!

Post by Saki »

Well did it at least! Chopped down the carbon fibre can and made a stumpy. As others have done and i have taken my inspiration from them, i too can say there is improved sound and overall feels nicer to ride!

Ended up taking off 12cm overall!

Awkward one that with the badge being so close to the clamp, I always think the badges should look like they are meant to be there, or they can look a bit dodge.
All up though it looks heaps better than the cannon you had before :D

hmmm basically yeah, i spose the best way to describe it is, when you start it up it has a growl to it and you can hear it has an exhaust note. When you open it up i think you hear the intake roar more, but just cruising around you certainly can hear a growly, bark!

Sounds good though, it definately loud, but not that loud that the po po will be onto you about it!
