Okay, so the new loom worked great [see the previous post] and is now all wrapped and refitted, I have removed the ignition and replaced it with a simple on/off switch
You can see the item here [possibly]. 51MM is the required size, and they fit really nicely.
The only issue I have is the master cylinder in relation to the clip-on mount is forcing there to be only one angle for the lever which is not going to be ideal. So I have ordered a new master cylinder with a remote reservoir.
They clear the tank fine but the lock does seem a bit extreme so I think I will fit some lock stops to reduce that a little.

But all that's for another day.
I also got a really cheap tail can this week. $120! From Custom Chambers in East Tamaki
Yeah, this will be a Chinese knock of SC, not the real thing and I am sure I could have got it from AliExpress for less .. and may yet order something else in the future, I know any standard 51 mm tail can, will fit okay.
All I did was cut off the end with the factory flange, see the stock muffler as shown below
I still have to make up a bracket to hold it and weld on the little hooks for the springs So will no doubt do another little post about this when I get to finish that off.
It is also a bit too loud without the DB killer in it... I also doubt very much it will do anything for the performance. I imagine you need to look at the headers for any real gains, not that i am loking for Horespower gains really.
But it is much smaller and lighter and will not need such an epic bracket to hold it.
Next Job - Sort out the rear set unit and simplify the mounting
