Your Mission , should you accept it:
Install the Ali Express Titanium Exhaust on the UGS. It comes in 3 Parts and you just need to bolt the headers on, slip the pipes together and get the springs on (tricky).
Now that can't be hard, right?!


Well, There are a few more parts than promised in the ad...
Fluid Cylinder Gas Nickel Auto part




Liquid Fluid Finger Gas Thumb

And they do not fit together.....

Was nicht passt, wird passend gemacht.

It nearly looks like in the advertising now haha.

Lets not forget , we had to do a lot of this to make it fit...

It is VERY loud now with my open GP exhaust . Do I love it? YES.
- Was it worth it? - NO get a proper exhaust, not the Ali EXpress copy.

Cheers, Sash

P.S. I also had to modify the crash bars as the O2 sensor in the new exhaust was touching on one side.
I have not yet re fitted my bash plate, it will need modifications as it touches the link pipe in the front and the Y at the rear ... So if you have accessories' on your bike, be aware that the new exhaust is not 100% like the original and might interfere ....

It's an aluminium headlight "protector" that was for sale on Aliexpress for a while... Haven't seen it advertised for at least a year now....

It does look pretty nice. Not sure if it has any adverse effect on the consistency of the headlight beam but I pretty much don’t ride at night anyway.

These are available in various styles and sizes from Alchemy Parts in the UK. Had them on my last two bikes simply to offer some protection against impact damage to the expensive LED headlights. Very simple to fit.
