Not done for any performance gain, this was purely done from a cosmetic point of view. My headers had started to rust. Was only slightly but gave me the motivation to go ahead with this mod. Very happy with the results.

Nice! What mufflers are they Steve?The bar end mirrors look good too.
I put smoke coloured lenses on my indicators with orange bulbs.I reckon they might suit yours? Just a thought.

The pipes are short TOR's with four holes drilled into the outlet end. Have been thinking about the clear lenses and coloured bulbs, but just never got around to it.

The wrap job was super easy. Bought a 15 meter roll but only used half of it. Took about 15 minutes a pipe.

Got a pic of them? Quite keen if they look good (subjective I know).

I haven't got a photo Steve. My camera's Kaput and I haven't got another yet,but they're the same size and shape as the originals only smoke not orange.I got them from Triumph Performance Parts Aust.
They don't draw attention to themselves like the orange IMO.
I thought about the clear and orange bulb but they look a bit like fried eggs to me.
EDIT.I just looked at the site and Fast Eddy has them too but neither place are advertising the smoke ones for our model,[pre 2011].If I remember right I phoned TTP and ordered the smoke ones for my 2007 model.
