I measured my shocks next to my shocks there about 5 mill shorter i still put them on tho measured my old shocks next to my c90 shocks and there same length might get some fuzz shocks for it next i know im going sound rite pain asking loads questions but what's best way to clear the exhulst out the owner Befor me only started it now and then and let it tick over didn't let it get hot so exhulst is proper oiled up so its filling road with loads smoke and now and then losing power and won't rev till the smoke clears a tiny bit can't see road behind me its smoking so badly lol

Caustic soda is good for cleaning exhausts just be careful, try google for cleaning 2 stroke exhausts.

yep caustic soda, and as wight says, evil stuff, but does a good job. take the baffles out though and do em by hand. or if you are planning on a rechrome job... then burn the crud out, ya need a set of oxy acetylene torches, and you need to get the oil to start burning at one end of the pipe, and then it moves up the silencer like a burning ring.. you also need to make sure it gets plenty oxygen in there to help it keep burning, its a bit scary but it gets all the old oil and carbon out. and theres a fine line between decoking and melting the exhaust, and of course the pipe will need replating after, but great way to sort out rare pipes that are hard to come by and getting them good as new. i had to do this on my T10 triumph as the pipes are unobtainable.

Prob safer to stick to caustic soda, but thick rubber gloves, safety glasses, mask and some kinda apron for splashes! stuff is nasty nasty nasty. you will need a rubber bung to block one end the pipe. and leave the mix in there a couple days at least. needs to be done to quite a high concentration.

Not to sure about the burning and plus only got a hand held blow torch don't think that would quite make it hot enough lol think will still to the chemicals i can get all the gear to wear as do some work with chemicals at work will just ask my supervisor to borrow some bits
