What size holes did you end up with Robbie, for the record?

I had never thought of that. Will investigate the cost/benefit ratio of M&M's

Henry, looks like I started smaller than I said because I ended up at 7/16" or 11mm.

Very sexy rear rotor Robbie G.

And off to the right; is that actually a whole barrel of wine?

Can I come and visit you?

Looks like a whiskey barrel to me. How long have the contents been aging?

Thanks TK,

Empty wine barrel and I'm turning them into wine racks. You can see them on my facebook page: Robbie Graham - Artist at Wildwood Gallery
I wish it was full, lol

Just Smarties, Jelly Tots & Jelly Babies Henry not fond of Hersey Products much.

Must say those drilled pipes do look "Technical"

We need a vid to hear how they sound though

More importantly, are you happy with the result Robbie?
It also looks as though you've got the exhaust mounted slightly too close to the bike. Look at the angle of the bolt going through the mounting point. Unless it's an optical illusion, yours is set at a bit of a jaunty angle. Still, if it works...
I'd like to hear it too.

All stock standard as far as I know Henry, probably an optical illusion. It sounds heaps better than it did standard and very happy with it but I guess it could be louder. lol
