Brilliant idea, just to prove it can be done on a shoestring. Looking forward to the next video 👍😊

A couple points to mention. The 2 nuts on the drive sprocket,for anyone that doesn’t know, they need to threadlocked on assembly. They can & will unfasten & fall out. The drive sprocket can & will fall off the output shaft. I was very fortunate when it happened to me, the chain remained on the output shaft, I lost all drive & the bike just coasted to halt. The exhaust looks like a nexus. Give it a check over its condition. If you haven’t had one, they tend to rot where the headers go in, where the rear mounting bracket is & also, in the gulley where the welded on bit that holds the rubber stop, joins the exhaust.

Good call on the sprocket bolts, I will definitely take your advice and thread lock them. With regards to the exhaust I intend returning it to the original 2 into 2 system they originally had, expensive but will look so much better. Delkevic do a system for £390
