Had one of those myself, great bikes. Is that an Apro exhaust?
It's a delkovic exhaust. It's been stood a few years so I've removed the carbs today and ordered an ultrasonic cleaner for them but other than that it shouldn't need much.

That will sound fantastic, I just had a standard exhaust and it sounded good.
I'm actually a carburettor expert & I can help you with that.
With these carbs you don't 'need' ultrasonic', much better to just soak 'em in a bath of carb cleaner. I do a kit of the rubber seals that is a fraction of the OEM parts cost.
Thanks, there actually in decent condition to say they've been stood with old fuel in them, the ultrasonic cleaner will also come in useful on some other projects I have so I haven't bought it just for this job.
Whenever I see pics like this I wish I'd continued with my bike lessons. Was doing my DAS training and had an off, thankfully just going slow around a mini roundabout. Continued my lesson that day but boy was I sore the next day and a few after that.
Took it as a sign and stopped. Some mates and family were saying it was a mid-life crisis thing (I was mid 40s at the time) and they may indeed have been right.
….think, that’s going to do my back in! I had an FJR1300 for about 4 years and that was more an upright seating position. I’ve sat on a few bikes belonging to mates (R1’s, MV Augusta F4) and it hurts my back just sitting on them and holding on to the bars. I can’t get on with all that leaning on the tank malarkey. I like to ride my bikes like I’m on a penny farthing!
