The MIVV GP cans ur pure mental, as loud wi the baffles in as the Akras wir wi them oot!! Really deep rumble which turns tae a screamin roar wi a good handfu o throttle. Thir absolutely deafenin wi the baffles oot, ma lugs are dirlin so a reckon ahl be pittin them back in!

Man thir loud! The bore is so big a keep think a badger could live doon there...

aye, still got......ah was gonna hold on tae them wi the idea that if ah ever traded the T in ah wid strip awe the goodies off and pit it back tae standard ( as nae dealer evir gies ye a better price cos o the extras).

...and then wid offer awe the good bits tae the loons oan here first.

Sayin that tho, ah dinae think ahl be tradin it fur a lang time tae come.

Next stage is some rearsets, chain n sprockets set and a rear shock. Ah need the price o scrap tae increase a wee bitty tho afore ah can get them bocht tho.....
 
Love that belly pan,....I want!:yes
Not sure about the Mivv's but the rest of it is the bollox.:thumbup
 
I like it Rico. Don't see very many in them colours. With the mods I reckon you've a pretty unique looking T there :thumbup
 
Cheers Rusty min.... an nae a goldie lookin thing in sight! (apart frae the bars afore ony smart erses chime in!)
 
r, I ment to say to check yer clearances on the belly pan from the oil tank and exhaust. I had to use spacers on mine.
 
That looks superb mate, classy mods. Jealous as **** of the belly pan, I've bid on a couple but they've got too pricey for me.

Glad you're happy with the Mivv GPs, superb cans aren't they?
