Anyone use 6 wheel policies? I'd be keen to know of any pitfalls
enshrined in them.

Exhausts: I need new headers. Could I be advised of who might sell me
something jigged and stainless, or of any to avoid. I'm utterly clueless

I prefer to keep my NCB separate. I even have my bikes on separate
policies for that reason.

I've got 4 on the bike, but only 1 on a car, so that's not much use. I
don't think I'm too scared to mingle them, but I've no idea how you pull
them back apart. forfeit one?

Motad make very good exhausts but beware that they can look rather
different to the originals, this is very noticeable on the 400 Four
where it looks a bit gash..

Auntie Carole does a 6 wheel policy, but I've never had one so can't
judge.

Sandy Bike Spares, you'll find them via google. Failing that, I'm
breaking a nice conditon Thunderpants at work this week.

Makes no difference when hidden behind a fairing.

I need a (counts on fingers) 20-wheel policy, if anyone can help.

There's a place near me called "Dairy Pipe Lines" and they fabricate
specialist pipes in SS. Although I've not yet used them myself I do know
a number of local bikers have had parts for Zorsts made there and have
been extremely pleased.

Motad also make exhausts which look identical to OE, and as for the 00F
system, it doesn't look gash - it's just that the OE system looks *so*
good.

Motad's stainless systems are supposed to be rather good. I also *think*
they make the exhausts for Triumph.
