That mess mesh might look good at about 5 yards but... nope, I've tried it as an exhaust shield and it's horrible. And as a mudguard?!

In his favour, I think he chose the right bike, to get that out of his system. Yes, he's trashed it. But it's still a good collection of parts for someone, or else a fairly easy project to put back to (relatively) normal. He's asking crazy money for it, so maybe he needs a bit more time for sobriety to settle in though.
He knows how junk those cafe seats are, now. He will never go near them again. And no rare/classic has been destroyed in this exercise. The engines on those are really robust and strong, and plentiful. Original exhaust on it - that's unusual to see, now.
I think if I was going to rat a Diversion just for looks, I would probably keep the tail end nice and tail-ish, and upswept. Plus put in an RF600 or Bandit 600 rear wheel. That would look OK.
I'm fairly sure he won't be rat/cafeing any bike in the future. The experience was probably worth something. I mean, some things are obviously just a really bad idea but if there's a chance you might find yourself man of the hour at the local halls of residence (he's based in Newcastle-under-Lyme so I think a university is nearby) you might try them out anyway. I don't know... Anyway, at least it was just a Diversion. |

Well quite. Let's hope hes got it out of his system and doesn't attempt to fukc anything else more valuable up..
To rat a divvy just dunk the whole unit in a tank of mat black paint and let it drip dry, no? ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

I read it as 'ENEMA' motorcycles on first glance
And who wouldn't want their remote oil tank heated by exhaust gases? Kerwality design that, seems like a great idea.
Edit, and it's given me a good idea of what I want for tea, chicken strips! |

lmfao I just noticed the exhaust ends underneath the fuel tank, isn't that a little dangerous? ____________________ PRESENT: 2018 BMW S1000XR SE Sport.
