Beauty is, as they say, in the eye of the beholder. It was the Brooklands exhaust that set me on route for that model. That along with the Brooklands wheel...even if I am now on number three. Each to their own eh 4/4Boy !

I am currently suffering a seemingly inconsequential problem with my drivers side exhaust that neither I nor the dealer can fully solve; and it's driving me nuts. The vibrations cause the entire unit to revolve and come into contact with the heatshield causing a hell of a racket and looking less than symmetrical from the back. We've slowed it considerably but I still have to unbolt and reset things every half dozen journeys or so. In light of all the other issues I guess this is a mere trifling inconvenience.

Mine is a late 2014 build and I believe that the interminable delay I suffered, make that delays, was due to the factory holding back until an upgraded exhaust was received. It took me a lot of questions and cajoling to get to what I believe to be the truth. As things stand, neither side shows signs of cracking....now why did I go and say a silly thing like that !!
