Well Jim, I find that very interesting, but who is this middle English who was penetrated?

Ahhhhh ....... I think the gentleman in question just may be none other than the Great Vowel Shift himself ...... Geoffrey Chaucer!

Vowel shift was due to a laxative no doubt.

I heard that Clinton ordered the US to fly in a few Hercules loads of vowels to the former Yugoslavia - seems they'd been running ever lower as the years went by

Hi!

I just read the first post, I don't know if you finally found them, but I have a set of downpipes and a collector. They need restoration, but Malcolm restored mines quite successfully for 120GBP.
PM me if interested.

now I read the discussion.. about ODs and IDs... mines are original, so I think they are OD35. I don't know if this is what you are looking for

Now I just rememberes that Gert told me that the Sulzbacher Laverdas had 40mm ID downpipes! (Or I understood it wrong...?)

Mine has a 39 mm OD. The same as the Factory 3 into 1 in the first photo. I had my current set: three downpipes into an enlarged collector into Slater Jota style resonators, scratch-built by a guy in Crystal Palace, thirty years ago.

... wrong Miguel! The Sulzbacher downpipes were 45 mm OD - like on my white 1200 SC. The Laverda 3-1 exhaust system had downpipes with 40 mm OD - like on my orange 1000 3CL.
Ciao, Gert

for 'the sock' .... that's a good lean angle to grind the cover!

I've only ever done that on the Honda CBX.

To be fair it was done, mostly, on Track Days.
I try to avoid, sometimes unsuccessfully, getting it that far over, on the road.

Small effort, in comparison to PK Davies, who used to get all the way through covers.
