Another `Blade lives!
ReMan - 2/5/05 at 11:22 PM

After the minor wiring panic of last week and a sunny day at Stoneleigh, we finally did it! Engine coughed spluttered and roared into life with only a minor adjustments.
Thanks to all for the assistance and encouragement to get this far, now the work really starts.
Thought you might like to see the non SVA exhaust pipe will post a auidio/video when I can find out how. At the moment i have a 50meg AVI from my camera that 3 minutes long, need to get it a bit smaller.
Anyway its late now after an exiting day and I have a bigger list now than I had before it stated so must get some rest.
BTW nice to put a few more faces to names at Stoneleigh, was a great weekend. Cheers, Colin

Is that because it has some sharp edges or something?

Cheers Mark

Looking at the way the exhaust arches over I guess it must be a Scorpion system

It just needs a 90* bend and a straight piece so you can bracket it to the top of the roll bar. I've got a ZX9R one in the shed that fits like that.

Ah pushed the plug leads in properly this time....good one mate. Tis was a nice sunny day at stoney. That exhaust is much more wicked than you described!

Congrats on getting it up and running. I ran mine up like that initially with the standard bike exhaust, albeit without a silencer for added neighbour annoyance
It did almost backfire on me though (literally!) - initially I connected up the coilpack triggers the wrong way so there I was standing on the drivers side merrily leaning over the carbs and opening the throttles to get it to start which resulted in a huge backfire about 9" from my ear! Luckily the ringing subsided after a few days

Yes but no but!
Its actually under a large carport the length of the house with the garage (workshop) behind it, the movie clip shows it better than the pic.
Its dry , but its been bloody cold and not that inviting between November and February, which is why I did'nt get much done, thats my excuse and i'm sticking to it!
Cheers
