As the title says, I hate getting ripped off!

I saw a Micron slip-on advertised on Ebay and was going to have a crack at it, however i missed the end of the auction and thus missed out on the pipe.

A week later, i saw the pipe re-advertised so i went for it! I was successful and won the auction. So organised NortiKittyKat to pick up the pipe and send it to me - no worries there.

Then i got a email from someone saying that the 2nd highest bidder was the the owner's alter-ego and the seller from the original auction. They had jumped on, placed a high bid to jack up the price!

So i got ripped off!





























That's right, i got ripped off $30! Got the brand new Mcron Pipe for $182 Woo Hoo!

So decided to fit it this afternoon (hence my absence at Aitkens) and Fark me doesit sound horny

Stage 1 of dismantling Elvis


Stage 2 of dismantling almost the whole rear end apart


Stage 3 remantling


Stage 4 Almost there


Stage 5 Elvis is damned sexy


The final result


Woo Hoo!

Very horn

I know youve told me..

but tell me again, does it sound horn !!

Awsome Dave

Bargain, and it looks good!

Looks great Dave, well done!!


Mate I love how all components are neatly lined up on the floor makes the remantling easier and cuts out the garage gremilins, and the "where the fark did that bolt go"

Nice one..

Send an e-mail to e-bay saying the seller was shill bidding. They will be removed as its against ebay policy..
$30 is almost a slab of beer... which you could have used to help install the pipe...

BTW,
There doesn't appear to be any being consumed during the installation... dissapointing..

umm he did it at home, discracefull Oh thats right Dave you where out on official bussiness

Yeah, there was a distinct lack of beer during the process cause i wasn't at Dave's...

The seller has been reported to ebay by the person who contacted me and i hope they get dealt with (i already checked to see if he had any other 636 bits)

The process itself was surprisingly pretty simple. I've had most of the rear end off before when Jase and I fitted the "Mr Stompy's Super fender eliminator" so it all made more sense this time. The most frustrating and time consuming part was fitting the pipe into the brackets and onto the heat shield! Considering i'm the worst mechanic in the world, i think it was a job well done.

Interesting to see how it'll go on the dyno

well done dave, and can i just say it looks soooo much better than the stock pipe thast has a certain "anus" ,look about it.

and how good does it sound....

Nice work Dave....just make sure it cools down before you do what you seem to like doing to horn sounding pipes

Especially when you go and put a very sexy pipe on your 10 Mick! What's a man to do!

And Cath's bike gets it twice...

Uh oh. I thought I was a sure win for the 600 category at the dyno day.... Looks like I've got some competition
It looks sexy, Dave. Every Micron I've heard has sounded horn - they have a really nice note to them. I can't wait to hear it - any chance it will come out for a play this weekend, or do we have to wait until the dyno day?

Story of my life.
Oh wait... You said "Cath's bike"
Nevermind
