Yes I have removed the cat mate.

Bit busy at moment but if you look back at posts you will see photos of my bike with cat removed.

The system I have is the one I sent the eBay link too. Arrow can and link pipe for £280 from italy.

Hope that helps.

Forgot to say my can with baffle in is definitely no louder than stock OEM one.

Not tried with baffle out apart from on drive at idle and even then not loud.

I don't like loud cans either tbh.

No probs drop me a pm with your address.

I can't take credit for them as they originally belonged to Kwacky so just buy the big guy a brew and cake when your next on your travels.

I know you commentwd on the brakes performance previously Perkles.

I noticed on a few occasions today they may need a little more power.

I'm not changing the mc or lines as don't fancy it on abs bike but might try some different pads.

Keep me updated on your thoughts on the brakes when you get the big green beast, will be good to exchange opinions.

Only five more sleeps now (happy)

Aren't they the single line rubber hoses? If so an upgrade might make all the difference. They did on my bike.

Kwacky the abs system is extremely complex and has at least 10 metres of hose buried around the bike.

On this one I have foresight from bitter experience and just know changing the lines would be a nightmare and almost impossible to get all the air out.

I'm going to leave as is in that area. I could change for SBS rs pads as I liked them on the blade and big differnece for little outlay and only 30 mins to fit.
