I've got a decent microphone setup, and researching replacing the mufflers on my '86. I'd like to meet up with locals here in the Bay Area...
For me, the Shorai (at it's price) isn't worth as a random upgrade, unless you know you're going to be storing it for a while (like in Montreal),...
At this point, I'm recommending these to all my friends as replacements for when their lead-acid batteries die. If the Hawk hadn't started well...
The LiFePO4 doesn't like cold, but Shorai claims that it can be self-warmed by waiting with the ignition on and letting the current to the...
Poking around a bit, I think my goal would be something that sounds between a stock 5th gen and a Yosh, TBR, or Staintune. The trapps are sharp...

A bit over 2 years ago, I put a Shorai battery into the bike, after yet another round of dealing with a dead battery after winter storage....
Fully back, although due to registration issues, the VFR is still parked. :( Might be riding my wife's HawkGT this week, though (we brought it...
Moved in, and there are a bunch of bikes here, so I don't feel nearly so bad. Including a RWB '07 anniversary edition VFR. Haven't seen the...
1000 grit is way, way, way too coarse. It's good for removal of material in a situation like this. You'll need to walk through some of the...
Yeah, I'm not going to be able to do anything about it until then, but I wanted to get the planning process started. My spaces in the garage are...
I'm pretty sure any solution will be a universal-fit muffler (luckily that's an easy fit, so long as my pipes have a normal size). I think a...
The bike is in California (and I will be as well in a month). But the bike is just nuts in a parking garage, as-is. Not too worried about pesos...
Huh, I guess I forgot to add that bit: I pulled discs out about 2 years ago, from 8 to 4. It ran horribly, but was significantly quieter. I...
My '86 700 has a pair of supertrapps on it. With 8 baffles, it's loud, stupid-loud. Sounds great, if you're wearing ear-plugs and don't mind...
Can you post a photo of the bike from the back, and of the exhaust (and the pipes just forward of the rear tire, where they merge)?
Thanks for that pointer. I may need to talk to Catalyst Reaction, too (they're right by my office in Redwood Shores).
My year in France is ending, and I'll be headed back to the US in a month or so. Unfortunately, when I arrive, while I will be able to get my '86...
I've been using Zaino on the cars and bike, and really like the results. "wet look", and very smooth. Once properly done, the bugs come off...
Papa Cisco - 87 is a dual, down low on each side. Both stock and most of the aftermarkets that I've seen from that era. Sure you have a stock...
