Leo Vince is to quiet.

I bought my first VFR the beginning of the summer and have put 2500 miles on so far. After doing some thinking there are some things i want to do to the bike and the first being make it a little louder. after 45mph i cant even hear the exhaust anymore. does anyone have any experience with the leo vince VS any other exhaust? Second being the wind shield. I think i need to go a little taller because the stock one shoots the air right into my face and kills my neck and ears. third being handlebar risers. bringing them a little closer to me would help me out a lot. anyone with any experience with any of these please chime an all replies welcome :redface:

 

I would recommend a Laminar Lip.
Had about the same problem on my "92 VFR. Laminar Lip fixed it.
May take you a day or so to get used to the look, but it really works. Easy to install and does not effect MPG.

 

Dude...just installed a set....there is an allen bolt on the end bottom ..take it out,grab the insert tip with a rag and pliers and wiggle it out. there should be a bag with a replacable set of allen screws.

 

If ya want let me know and Ill take a picture of the inserts I took out

 

I dont think i could get use to the looks of that. thinking of the double bubble blacked out to give the bike a different look also.

 

anyone have any ideas for a louder exhaust?

 

Leos are loud with the silencers out. You can also look t the GPR exhaust. The thundertones are kinda loud.

Look at the puig racing screen (double bubble) if you want something better than stock for windscreen.

 

I have the Leo Vince carbon's on my 03. When new even with the baffles out, they aren't terribly loud. They get louder after a few thousand miles. I like the sound and volume now at about 5000 miles.

 

well i came from a cbr600rr with two brothers and the leo on the vfr is way quiet compared to. Its not a full exhaust and i see there is like a CAT or something on the bottom of the bike. any idea what that is? can i take that out and get more sound?


I have checked that one out and i think im gonna go with it. when money permits...

 

If you're looking for risers most go with Heli-bars or Gen Mar risers. I'm running Gen Mars. Found a set on CL for short money so I went with those. You'll definitely get more lift from the Heli-bars.

One of the best ways to improve comfort on a 6th Gen is an aftermarket seat. The stock seat has a somewhat of downward angle to it & you tend to slide forward a lot. A Sargent seat is flatter & will keep you from sliding towards the tank. This will help relieve some wrist & elbow pain.

 

You can buy catless headers or chop and gut your cat. Not sure about more noise but will get air flo.
There are a couple other loud slipons out there. There are lots of clips on youtube for VFR exhaust.

Good luck with what you choose.

 

Two brother will satisfy your thirst.....for noise. Some members think it is too loud
Heli bar will fix your wrist and your back better yet go for Vario with unlimited adjustment.
I have the double bubble but like the Vario touring better :thumb:
