First mod to my VFR1200F

Well after looking at the CBR message boards I decided to try it out can you guess

 

Look like you keep the flap open up at the end cap. The whole can need to go........... lol

 

Here is a vid sorry for camera distortion. All I had to do was disconnect the cable from the servo and now it is open all the time

 

hit it with some flitz! when does akropovic come out with a new can?

 

How has it affected the power delivery?

 

Don't know don't care I heard the video and it sounds like shit much worse than stock

Not much to say I think it normally opens around 5k rpm so that feels no different so far but I am still babying her.

 

It's out now. I heard it in person at a dealer demo, I thought it sounded fantastic. Edit: sound restrictors were removed, still not overtly loud.

SLIP-ON STREET LEGAL EXHAUST SYSTEM for the HONDA VFR 1200 F (2010) - Akrapovic

 

This one

YouTube - Honda VFR 1200F with Akrapovic slip-on Sound sounds like shit in the video

 

^^^ Yeah, same chimney, but your link doesn't sound as good as the demo I heard. The demo had been completely dyno tuned with a PCV, so it probably has something to do with the correct mixtures. It also sounds as if the can in the youtube clip was just installed and has not had a chance to break-in the packing. I bet that bike sounds a lot better in 500 miles.

 

Disagree... me likey... looks DEADLY too!

 

I'll be damn. It sounds like my 1971 Yamaha R5 350. It sounds like a two stroke!

 

I agree about the two stroke. I thought it was dead ringer for my Stihl 026 chainsaw!

 

The more I see & hear about this bike, the more I think Honda should be freaking ashamed of itself. I guess not all is lost, given their past track record, I guess we only have to wait about 5 - 7 years until they redesign it.

KC-10 FE out...

Ride one....

 

Phobe, I would like to ride one. Can I ride yours?

 

Aside from having to comply with Federal standards with a quiet exhaust I can find nothing wrong with the VFR1200F I love mine and would not trade it for anything.

 

I mean no offense to you or any other 7th Gen owner. I really don't have anything good to say about the bike & I apologize for adding my $0.02 to this thread.

Yeah, seriously..... Don't judge until you ride one. I know it's either love it / hate it as far as the appearence goes but I doubt there are few that won't love it after a ride!

 

You call this a mod? :2guns:

Reminds me of this
