The only thing which I’m torn with is the noise.
The Supersport is equipped with a rear exhaust which i very much like the look of it. But it doesn’t sound like very engaging.
The positive my neighbours are very happy!!!

Is any suggestions to combine sounds and rear exhaust?
I don’t fancy going side pipes as I very much like the rear view with the rear 2 exhausts. I think without those pipes, the rear looks too high and too empty.

Get someone to make you a switchable system. You would benefit from the lower internal noise on a longer run / when starting on an early morning (to maintain relationships with your neighbours) and be able to switch to have some more noise when required.

Talk to Krazy Horse, they developed a switchable system for Trads, IIRC made by Demand Engineering

Congrats. Now you have only two things to do.
1. change that radio
2. put THOUSANDS of miles on it

PS for me the best place for the rear pipes is in the garage, dismantled and properly stored

Yeah, I am fine with the round bottom look and love the sidepipes (unlike my neighbours)

The radio is a fair point and it’s on the list - as it’s useless.
I’m talking to Krazy horse for the exhaust

Will keep you updated

Hi,
You say the radio is useless but it is unclear whether you just think it looks useless or it has useless reception. If it is the latter it may be the aerial that is the problem. When I first got my Aeromax the reception on the Becker Mexico fitted, which looked great in terms of fit in the car, was very poor. The problem on reception was diagnosed to the poor aerial (fitted in the rear side window). Not wanting to spoil the looks of the car by adding an external aerial, i settled on fitting a digital receiver hidden under the dash which feeds its signal into the Becker. The aerial for the digital receiver (controlled remotely (bluetooth)by a neat small control box that is stuck on above the rear view mirror) is stuck on the inside of the windscreen and in my view is unobtrusive and gives very good reception of digital signals other than in very remote locations where there is not good digital reception.

Hope this experience helps with your decision on what to go with. Car looks lovely by the way.

Enjoy

Similar story with my becker Mexico. Even in my case, despte to the fact that I have on the AeroSS an external aerial (stock) the reception was not exciting.
I ended up buy a cheap bluetooth dongle connected in the cd changer (?) plug and I stream everything from my phone. In this wayI can have music, radio, nav, directions and alerts everythign through the car speakers.
Why the mexico? Just because it looks supercool.

Stunning car, congratulations

Although it is not generally visible on a Classic, the Sony DSX-A510BD radio I have matches dash illumination well. The DAB/FM/Bluetooth provides everything mentioned by Ale_72 but in one package, and hooks up to four speakers. Even hands free phone is an option. Streaming music from phone and attendant louder navigation directions I find particularly useful allowing me to keep my eyes on the road.
