It's the same guy selling the heat shields, might drop him a line to see if he'll bundle them in..?

Cheers for all this help, so cool!
Well done! Yes email him, he'll probably be pleased to do that, he's getting two sales for the price of one!

Just been talking to a buddy of mine and he has the heat shields off his old pipes that I can have for nothing - result!!

Just need to keep my eyes open for some slip-ons now - hopefully I can sell the V&H Long Shots I have to get some money back, winner :-)

Headers and heat shields arrived today! Headers are perfect and heat shields are in super condition, so impressed!

First piece of the puzzle done, tempted to drop the hammer on a set of V&H Twin Slash Rounds :-B

All wrapped up 😀 Started last night and had to fab up a temporary silencer hanger, but I am rather pleased with the results, exactly what I wanted!

Thanks a million for the help and encouragement, ace!

Speaking about wrapping things up, what is going on with your Ohlins cartridge forks?

Yiou may recall that my front end involves installing Brembo calipers, so while my bike is still on it's old front end I'm swapping over the rear brake and doing some work back there - in between trips to France and elsewhere on our solos, of course! Weather over here is still like winter FFS, so not much time spent in the garage as yet.
