    Finally got some cash to upgrade my little 86 vf500... and I was thinking exhaust because the thing is so damn quiet compared to all of my buddies GSXR 600s, CBRs, Ninjas, etc.

    I tried searching the intertron, and I could find this:
    FMF Universal Spark Arrestor 200cc - 500cc 1 - 1/4" - BikeBandit.com

    Anyone have any recommended slip ons for this bike? Ty!

    Exhaust for the 500 is far and few check on ebay or craigslist that's your best bet.
