I found this when I fitted mine and quickly made a spacer from an M10 nut to kick the exhaust out 5mm or so. Just sent an email to SC as the spacer in the photos looks way nicer. Quality exhaust, crazy noise, love it!

Just as an update I've had a positive experience with the SC Project system. It was delivered within 2 weeks of order from the factory, it fitted straight on and has a deep note with slight rasp as you blip the throttle. The dB killer comes out by hand after undoing one allen bolt and with the...

Anyone seen pictures of bodywork fitted to an 07? I had a TRX850 12 years ago and would love to turn my MT into a modern equivalent using clipons and a sharp looking quarter fairing (like the latest R6 upper). I've been looking into this but not seen any examples out there. I think some of the...

The sun tempted me out for a ride after a few months hiding from winter. This was followed by the feeble exhaust note inspiring me to just press the buy button on the SC Project website. The GBP-Euro exchange rate is pretty good right now so be rude not to really!

Really liking the SC project and MIIV speed edge exhausts but I'm guessing as they are shipped direct from Italy there may be import duties from HMRC. 20% VAT bill? Anyone experienced this?

I really like the look of that one too but from what I read it was a classed as a race system in the UK for track use even with the dB killer fitted. I'm still tempted but my insurer might not like it.

From what I can see the arrow doesn't have a cat option. I'm not bothered as long as insurance companies accept the change without loading the policy.

Looks great, a massive improvement on what the factory intended. Do you know if the arrow system E marked and fine for insurance and do you know if it will accept the catalyst insert when mounted shortie style?

I've had Yamaha's before with these calipers and braided hoses sharpen them up considerably. Rear brake is fantastic, sometimes I use it alone pull up

Just collected my bike fresh from the June shipment. I was told by the dealer that the next UK boat load isn't until October! Not sure if this is true, it was hard enough waiting for 2 sunny months, but missing the while summer waiting!!

The test bike I took out did this and so does mine so maybe its just part of the charm. I'm going to be using earplugs and fitting a nice fruity exhaust so soon rattles and squeaks will be a thing of the past from where I'm sat :)

I collect my Race Blu this Friday from CMC. Will be up for a meet at some point after the weekend. Keep your eyes peeled for me if your ever around the Notts/Derby border. I will probably head east for most of my rideouts, quieter and nice roads.

I'm in Nottingham, UK and need to insure my bike for collection this Friday. Its currently standard and sat in the Yamaha workshop... but it wont be standard for long. Anyone declared their modifications and still got a reasonable quote? RAC quote system has no way of adding modifications but...

Just a thought on an earlier post - I've been unlucky enough to crash and slide a fazer 1000 on ice and highside an R6 at Cadwell park and both times R&Gs saved me a fortune in repairs. The threaded bars they supply do bend and the nylon bung is soft, no engine or frame damage at all. Every...

Cannot wait to release all that wonderful sound when I finally collect my 07. It will be just like the TRX850 I used to have 10 years ago. It sounded fantastic on the overrun through open pipes.
