hey all, newbie from wales here! i bought a new VFR a week ago and love it! got a 2005 vtec just one thing that bothers me, the exhaust is to damn quiet! ride safe all, regards, bucky
Welcome to the site. Gotta be alert. We need losts of lerts here. A set of Staintunes rally sound nice without making the bike ugly loud. I wished I had a set for mine.
dont doubt it, just cant get over the price of the exhausts ! a pair of cans £600! what! and none second hand, thinking of getting some standard ones and gutting them bad boys out
I sold a set of used OEM to someone here who was going to gut them but he has dissappeared from the site so don't know what they sound like. If and when I ever do a total rebuild on mine, I will spring for a set of Stainetunes. Either that or get a new bike. See if I can pry some money from the wife's purse.
What are you guys, teenagers?! I'm still kicking myself for not taking the oem mufflers when I bought the bike. Oh Yeah, Welcome Bucky!
Welcome Bucky, your bike sounds like a sewing machine with the stock pipes huh?...I replaced mine asap...gots ta hear that V4. Ride safe
Pretty sure my 86 still has the OEM cans on it, it is pretty quiet, bit stealth like, but you can feel the V4
I prefer stealth mode all the way. Nobody hears me having fun. No annoyed neighbors. And the intake noise is plenty. I had a D&D 2 into one on my sporster and it was loud but when you wind the piss out of it and make all kinds of racket you were only going 35mph anyway.
Hi Bucky, get a Venom end can and take the baffle out as and when, sounds great. Where are you in Wales? I go most weekends in better weather - love the place. Besides whos gonna stop you in Wales - theres no one there!:lol::lol::lol:
south wales, tend to ride in brecon alot as the roads are utterly amazing cant afford most exhausts out there atm, spent most of my money getting this lovely new VFR ! and the rest has to go to living, think il be focusing on guttng a standard exhaust atm
I also am always in the Brecons, my favourite part of Wales. Have you tried the A4O59 from Hirwaun running north to the junction with the A470 close to the Beacons reservoir. Turn left here for approx 2 miles to the butty bar . Great road and pretty quiet.<span style="color: rgb(40, 40, 40); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14.9333333969116px;">[video=youtube;F0lSffyitgs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0lSffyitgs[/video]
WOW, to many animals on the side and in the road to be enjoyable......looks like a awesome road thow....just in the first 2 minutes you had to alter your line into oncoming traffic.....SCARY Be safe wit all them critters
im up there every week, my gf lives that was and need to drive over the mountain to get to hers, the back mountain is the utter most best road you will find in the wales, and possibly england, sharp corners, on the hill, nice and twisites going down, and then a straight for about 5 miles, utter bikers paradise!! altho the stop at the end is terries burger van, lesson 1, dont park your bike were it will get blocked as its a bikers meeting place, when they get of they dont get on for ages, and impossible to find the bikes owner! i know that from experience haha
Yep, that comes with experience. ...park always with a way out. Learned the hard way, had to swivel three harleys (bastards) at work on there kickstands to squeeze my bike out....called two worker buddies to help.
