    Rhineland-palatine near Koblenz. Do you know that? Where are you if you visit Germany?

    Oh yeah, it is definitely fun to ride. A litte bit of work to do at the fork / shocks (setup) and then it will be perfect.

      Hi Sven77, welcome to the group!
      Quick question.

      What type of exhaust is that? Thanks in advance!

            Mark me down as impressed.

              It is a Scheibel 4-1. The manifold and the exhaust pipe are a little bit shorter than original size. The ending is custom-made by me.

              The next step will be this:

                Very, very nice.

                Interesting location for the oil cooler. It that more or less effective than the usual placement?

                How long does it take to get used to the new shift pattern?

                    The simple reason for the place of the oil cooler is that the hoses were not long enough.

                    Good eyes for details, mate! It lasts app. 15min. to get comfortable with this. Now I don't wanna change anymore...

                              You've brought this thread back to the top.

                              Did you ever get any info regarding a Cafe section on GSR?
