Thankyou Motad

I was on a job down to South London last Thursday, cruising down the A1 when the bike started to sound a bit like a Harley, not the right sound for an ST1100.

So I pulled over to see what was wrong and I discovered that the right silencer had become loose where it goes into the collector box, so out cane the tools and I attempted to tighten the clamp but it had no effect.

Well I was loaded with a clients job so I had to press on and get the job done.

Friday morning I set about this silencer problem, didn't take long to find out what was wrong, the silencer pipe itself had rotted where it goes into the collector box.

Now I had to get a new silencer fast because I have another job booked for Monday morning, so I called Motad, told them what I wanted and they were very helpful, the silencers arrived this morning (Saturday).

The whole exhaust system was changed on the bike about 45,000 miles ago and as the bike is used in all wheather I think the exhausts have lasted really well. Yes I prolonged the life of the silencers I think by painting them every 6 months with Hammerite, but yes they have served me well.

So yes, a big thanks to the guys at MOTAD for a very fast and friendly service, if you need to replace your exhaust at all you do well to check out their web site at:
