OUR BIKES
to existing frame mounts . Peter can provide different finishes to his work including chrome and high-temp baked coatings , but I opted for a painted matt black allowing for easy touchups in the future . Pricing for a set of handmade and painted reverse-cones like this is generally around $ 750 for the pair , so excellent value when compared to those branded cans from overseas . The next issue was that it was the week before Christmas and it ’ d be fantastic if they could be done before year ’ s end ... please ?! No problem , Peter advised , asking me to bring the bike in mid-week and he ’ d squeeze it into the fabricating schedule and sort it . True to his word , the bike was ready the day after drop-off , and the result was exactly as desired , the bike now adorned with a pair of matt black mufflers with just the right length , flare and upsweep to set off the 80 ’ s look the Lario has ! And most importantly , the sound now emanating from the Lario , in conjunction with the pod filters already on the bike when acquired , is something to behold . On start-up the magic begins , on acceleration it ’ s simply wonderful mechanical music and the overrun is now a grin-inducing baritone resonance . Thanks Peter – on a beer scale the result is a fine Double IPA for sure , and was an awesome Christmas present to boot .
