[JerseyBrut]

Well the time has come to introduce myself as I have finally got my 1078RR today from Motorama Jersey, thanks to Nick and Will for all their help.

Why did I get the 1078 rather than wait for the 1090 some may ask? Well it comes down to price and a fantastic deal. You can get and do an awful lot for £4000 which is the extra it was going to cost for the 1090!

I will hopefully post some pics over the next few weeks, but in the meantime would like to thank those of you who have helped in my questions I have PM'd to them and who largely convinced me that the Brutale was the bike to get.

My first question to you all is that I have been considering getting the Arrow Thunder exhaust, but am confused by the websites and what I will need to replace/do. It is clear that the Cat needs to be replaced and a midpipe installed, but as the Cat and the header pipes are all one piece on the 1078RR, I presume I also need to swap out the header pipes as well as buying the mid section and end can. Am I right anyone and will I need to change anything on the ECU? (Sorry if this topic has been beaten to a pulp already!)

Anyway, this is one of many questions I am sure I will have over the initial period of getting to know my Brutale, but most importantly I believe I have finally got an icon that looks as good in the garage as it does on the road.

Safe riding to you all.
