Mac_Kaliba will be jealous lol!

Them roads, looks like west london chiswick/ealing-esque style of roads?

NC35 definitely is a lovely bike, just get rid of the anodised bits and keep it looking as stock as possible. Its a lovely bike on the eyes.

yea the pink bits are commin off soon, thinking about taking the rear pedals off when I get the new end can and also putting a set of rear set pedals for the front...

Yeh I'm jealous but soon enough I'll replace the slightly scuffy panels up front and on the rear, I never clean mine though.
I have to say the RT colours are obviously better than on the RR (Mine) I may look into it but first I'm having my bike set up properly.
Welcome mate, you have taste Thumbs Up

This is one of the cleanest 400 Ive had so far...hope it lasts Wink

Im looking for an after market end can if anyone know of a 2nd-hand Scorpion/Blueflame lying about.

to be honest the performance has gone down...had more top end with less noise... now its all blaaaaaaaaaa! I might need to have it jetted and run her over a dyno...?

lot of ppl with rvf's here, for some reason mine has got the RT colours despite being a 94 bike :S

one thing to watch for is the connection between the downpipes and collector box, they rust bad fast Sad

also the silencer is a major pain the ass to remove

maybe your fairing got changes somewhere along its life and now has the newer colors cheme...I like the color.
I changed from the standars end can to the one in the pic and also took both rear foot rests off in about 20 min... eazy job with the right tools. I have noticed the corrosion on the pipes...will need to keep on top of it before it gets bad... crap material I recon.

iirc the downpipes are mild steel while the collector box is stainless steel, different types of metal rubbing against each other, very hot temperatures and salt making regular contact will desolve the link between the pipes easy.

the end can is ok to remove if you do it regulary, my attempt resulted in 3 snapped threads.

the design of the v4 engine is anoying since the pipes are more awkward to clean unless you remove them completely.

im suspecting my bike had been dropped and had the fairings damaged as im now beggining to see bits of damage since iv'e started stripping the bike.
