Recent projects and restorations on other forums have stirred my project juices and so I am going to have a go. The idea is to see whether I can update an eBlag purchase economically to make it look like the later blue plastic-tanked TTRs. This will mean changing the frame colour to blue or black (as use...

Well, a new bike isn't in the future, so thinking about upgrading parts of the TTR. Are exhaust mods worth the price? Do you get real performance gains, or is it just noise? Looking at the shorty header from totallyttrs, and a new either FMF or Pro Circuit silencer.
