what was wrong with your guzzi at EM?
Shortly after the event I trailered it to the dealer who sold it when it was new. A few days later the chief techie rang me to say he'd taken the CARC off and said all looked good in there, no issues with the UJs etc, no obvious problems 
...and then scared the shit out of me by asking if it made the noise in just one or all of the gears 'cos he wondered if it was the gearbox
Well despite the lack of any oil leak or the tell tale loose wheel when he actually split the bevel box it was just the FD bearing, same part as in a GS He said I must have just caught it as it had just started to go and hadn't broken up yet taking out the oil seal with it like they normally do. I was surprised, pleasantly, TBH because of the noise it made .
All is good now thanks Cookie

Not sure about that little silver tube sticking out the end though, reckon that needs to come out

I'm surprised you stopped cuddling it long enough to fit it to your bike
I wish I'd taken a photo
Edit...At least take a wire brush to the chicken strips

Love the looks of this bike...and after the bash next Tuesday, it is only a small push to Verns

Bet it sounds as good as it looks
Thanks for the comments guys.
Its a very nice pipe and I also like the way the italian flag logo matches the graphics that are on the bikes seat hump and nose cowl . That and the fact that it compliments the carbon hugger well make it look like it should have been there all the time. Will take another picture of the whole bike over the weekend .
No push necessary It'll be fine, I had a chat with the dealer and he confirmed that I had now replaced all the BMW parts on it so nothing to worry about
Circlip off baffle should come out, but it didn't seem to want to
, will revisit it tomorrow ..
Hopefully Tim, depends whether I come straight from work or not
