Newbe VFR800 owner with query re after market exhausts

Hi
Brought myself a brand new white 2012 VFR800 a month ago and thought it would be good to join a group like this.
Have been riding for over 40 years and am really impressed by the VFR.

I gave a few goodies already and would liketo change the exhausts, a little tpp quite for me, and was interetsed in either 2 Bros or Leo Vince carbon fiber but everyone here is saying that they are not available for the 2012 model.
From what i can see the 2009 model is the same with some colour changes.
Has anyone got any info re this please

 

Pic?

Honda stoped selling the 6th gen in the U.S. after 2009, but continued to sell it elsewhere. If it is the same (mechanically) as the 2002-2009, they should be the same. My bet is most companies (in countries that never had a 2009+ VFR800) dont list it as a model.

 

+1 You guys over the other side of the pond got all the good bike and colours.
as Guj said just order yourself a set of Leo and called done :thumb: Good luck

 

You're an Aussie? Go with the local boys...STAINTUNE. I love mine!

 

Just installed some Leos and freekin love the throaty rumble....but Staintunes are great too..alittle pricey ..but they are Assie made...I think Long has them on his ride.

 

Yeah Staintune is nice but pricy in Aussie they get better deal if they buy Leo from the State.

 

gotta give some props to two brothers. everyone has an opinion but the two brothers say made in the U.S.A. thats proof right there that its a superior product. and if you just have to have a carbon fiber exhaust, two brothers is the only manufacturer that accepts the fact that CF is an inferior material for exhaust and takes real steps to make it last

 

So "made in USA" = superior now?

Hmm. This is the first I've heard/seen of that.

 

Thanks for the info. i have done some resarch and also got confirmation from Honda that the exhasut has not been modifed so will be ordering some 2 Bros next week.
Will post some pictures when fitted

 

the VFR is white and already has some carbon fiber on it so what to continue the theme and think that carbon fiber exhausts will make it look great and as Staintune don't make them will be going 2 Bros

 

Spend the extra $$$ for the black series (Im biased ofcourse), they look great.

 

Hi All

Thanks for all the advice, ended up getting a set os Leo's.
Fitted them yesterday and here are some pics of the finished item

 

Beautiful bike!!!! If I were to ever get a new bike, it would just be a new vfr800!
I just wish it was as easy as picking up a 2012 vfr800. You Aussies suck!

 

Very nice :love:
Silver still better ound:

 

Are those caps atop your forks stock ? I love how its blacked out and the gages have a white face.Awesome sound those Leos make huh?

 

Caps are part of the Genmar handlebar risers and yes, the Leos sound awesome

 

That is a great looking VFR, love the colors.

 

Just saw your post Aidan. I'm a wk away from picking up my 2012 VFR, same colour.
Lovin the Leo's. Who did you buy them from and for how much?
cheers

 

Hi Jayburls

I bought them from Motosport (motosport.com) so the price is dependent on the dollar exchange. Couldn't source in Aus.
Motosport were very good and use DHL for delivery.
When you look on their webite ignore the picture of the all carbon ones as the ones delivered have the metal conical end, think they look better anyhow.
Where are you getting the VFR from as I found Peter Stevens were $500 less than anyone else with a price of $13,450.
Also saw that the one they now have in the showroom had a sign saying comes with panniers although it was a siver one.

 

Thx for the Motosport site/supplier. I've come across the FMF apex slip-ons now so the choice just got harder, lol

I've stayed away from Peter Stevens as I feel there customer service is shite. Went in looking at the VFR800 (white/Black) and got told $13990 take it or leave it! Thats after the four guys stopped chatting amongst themselves to give me some attention. So they'll be missing out on a sale. They are killing the independent dealers anyway so I decided to go with a independent Honda dealer. Got a quote for $13750 which will get me the bike plus I'm getting the rims painted in two-pac black with a white rim tape. Personally dont like the white rims as they seem to get grubby to easy.
