Gori GP50 or JL Snail ?

Why not just send it back for a refund, if it's that far out?

I ordered one on Wednesday. If it's as bad as that it will be going straight back to Italy.

However for balance, I think only the ts1 style gp50 has had its tailpipe diameter increased. Or I've misunderstood the rlc website

Because stupidly I decided to start stripping the lacquer for the plating work I'm having done then thought I'd just better do a dry fit before I go any further otherwise I would have.

Well the euthoria of unwrapping my new Gori GP 50 was short lived. I should have saw it as a bad omen when I checked my tracking info only to find parcel farce couldn't deliver as I was no longer residing at that address!! So anyway after some time spent on the phone it turns out that despite my address being correct on the order Riminni had not only got my house number wrong by over a hundred houses they had got my name wrong as well!

So anyway just being trying unsuccessfully to fit it, what a load of b@11@x. Firstly I try to fit the down pipe to the cylinder and I can't get one of the manifold nuts on, the pipe is at such an angle it touches the stud, kind of sorted that now, (forget about those lovely long brass nuts I bought off of K2 customs at Burton Brewery).

With the down pipe fitted I notice the conector that joins the silencer is cocked up at an angle, try to fit silencer and it's way out, so I cut the side case bracket off the silencer push the pipe on only to find it hits the side case and the tail pipe hits the back tyre! So tomorrow I've got to cut the down pipe in half and shorten by 25mm so I can get the length right turn it a few degrees and reweld, weld a 20mm strip in the side case bracket that I've hack sawd off to lower that so the pipe doesent fowl the side case, heat up and bend the tail pipe so that doesent hit the back tyre, and somehow alter the end can so it doesent foul the chain case.

Oh and that shite that Rimini spout about the tail pipe being increased to 25mm well it's identical to the Scootopia one at 22mm.

I just wish whoever made this pipe had used a jig like all the other pipe makers rather than rely on the end user to sort their mess for them.
Oh and the quality of the welding is deplorable it looks like some of that shite that comes out of India when they run out of gas but carry on regardless!!

Anyway we'll get it sorted but at over £300 I bloody well shouldn't have to....

On the plus side though, they did send me a very nice t-shirt (and surprisingly it fits spot on! More than can be said for the pipe)

That's not too good. Must be a one off,mine did fit a treat and looks spot on. Think you should still speak to Rimini as doubt they look on here.

But if I do that they may ask for the t-shirt back....I really like the t-shirt...

Ok this is my first try so may not work. Here are some pictures of the cut and shortened down pipe showing the piece I had to remove and also the mounting bracket on the box pipe that has to be cut and have a fillet welded in + some extra work to correct the dodgy Indian style welding throughout.
