Looking great!

The R5K pipes work really well, but as I am sure you already appreciate, they are very very heavy! In my humble opinion, the Jha's just look plain weird on the MC18! You'll see what I mean once they are mounted. The problem is the chassis is rather narrow, and the shock linkage takes up rather a lot of space... right where the pipes want to be!

I think it's a double edged sword... the weight saving, and possibility of a tad more performance is countered by the odd looks of the Jha pipes. The only ones I know of that look right, are the HRC ones, but as Andreas found out in another thread, they don't fit properly without the HRC shock and linkages! That's HRC for ya! Laughing
