Did you shorten the baffle or just the end can, I ask as I have seen one for a GPZ750 which would fit my Zephyr but the can is a little long for my liking.

No baffle..... that's just the end cap which rivets on the end, its straight through mate i think cut down it sits just right, long it just doesn't seem to look right at all.

Paint Set

#51 PostAuthor: jacky1962y » Sun Sep 01, 2013 4:04 pm

Hi Ian, I think it looks even better now. She suits the Green / Yellow better than the blue, IMHO.
Again very nice meeting you.
All the best mate

Yes mate, nothing wrong with the paint job, the tank is the problem as i didn't realize it had been fixed/ welded in the past, so its my fault at the end of the day , lesson learned. But the paint man is spot on.

Thanks Ian
