Default Afterburner vortex

Hello people, just a quick question, i have a MY93 with ninja BB and vortex midsection, (and just found out i need a new downpipe) i was just curious if anyone in sunny wales has an afterburner on their classic, as im tempted to change, but would like to hear the difference between that and the ninja

thank you

We just fitted an afterburner Vortex back box for a guy in North Wales - he doesn't like it at all, on long runs the droning is driving him mad. Maybe we can get a swap going for something nearer his choice??

This was the one I had fitted



It was on a bugeye before I had it converted... basically see the above picture on the kitchen floor just behind the silencer see the vertical hanger that hooks to the left well you need to grind that off and reverse it around so it hooks to the right and it will go on your classic
It is a job that needs doing when fitting so you can get the exact position, and ideally you will need it TIG welded as the whole thing is stainless steel.
