Matin maybe its the camera angle but in the last shot your pipes gave really blued and the heat affected zone is much more pronounced. If you compare them to earlier photos they are more blued.
Its not running too weak is it.
Have you changed the headers?
Well this was the last run I had but that was with Thruxton needles and 135 main jets, It ran super rich at the bottom and was told to fit the standard Bonny needles and go up to 140 mains which is what it's on now
Standard trim they have 110 mains
I kept the airbox but is gutted with a K&N and belmouth intake trumpet
The pipes were second hand and were quite blued as it came off a fuel injected model if that makes any difference

Crap photo but the replacement EBC front disc has arrived today
It's a floating disc so should be better
the old one has got down to minimum now at 22K miles (4.5mm minimum thickness)
I'd loctited the disc bolts on per manual so will be a booger to get them off
I usually just copper slip the disc bolts and don't usually have a problem
Only time was the LC rear disc where I just needed to tweak them back up

Put some 50mm heat shrink over the rear shock reservoir canisters to disguise them
I think it looks better
Instead of disguising the reservoirs for just £20 more you could have got a pair of yss shocks on e-bay that are better quality with more adjustment than the Chinese ones, I only chose mine above the yss ones because I wanted the reservoirs to copy the look of the originals on my 250 Katana
I noticed the same thing after fitting mine, they were a massive improvement over the aftermarket shocks fitted to the bike when I bought it, the great news is they get better with age (what doesn't?) after being on my Katana for just over a year they are comfortable and the handling is sharper.
My springs are still totally backed off too at the moment
Another thing I noticed was that while accelerating over white lines,the old shocks would make the bike have a good wiggle but with these hardly noticeable
