Ok, thanks guys for the welcome. Here's my ride.

 

Awwwwe, that so makes me wish I still had my 97 VFR. That is one really nice looking machine Havoc and you WILL love that bike I'm sure. Not that I am the least bit partial to the 4th gen, NAH, not at all. I love my 5th gen, but there is definitely a soft spot in my soul for my old 97. She went to a new owner just before my son was born, and I regretted selling it the moment the new owner left my driveway and I heard the exhaust note as he roared away up the street. Thankfully I still see the old bike around once in a while.

Live to ride, and ride to live, and don't forget to keep her shiny side up.

 

:hss: that is a clean 4th gen me :love:
Thanks for the picture :thumb:

 

Ooooh Dude, if you can find an after-market exhaust can for that beast you will NOT regret it. My 97 sounded so much sweeter than my 2000 does. The 5th gen I have has a Delkevic 18" slip-on and it does sound really nice but my 97 had an M4 slip-on and the growl that thing made was literally to die for.

If you check with Delkevic USA they might still sell a link pipe and slip-on for that year bike. I know when I checked their online store, they did not list the pipe for my 2000 but when I phoned and checked with them directly they said they still carried one. It was online in their eBay store and I even got a slightly better price than online when I phoned them direct. Best $185 I ever spent. Even my wife agreed with me, so you know it had to be a good deal. LOL.

Oh, and not to mention it weighed about 15 pounds less than the stock exhaust and looked way better.

 

I did check out the delkevik website and they do have a bunch of cans for it. I'm saving up for one now.

 

If you like how it sounds now............ Honda VFR750, used maybe $3000, cost of an aftermarket slip-on maybe $200-$400, tickling feeling that runs up your spine as you rev the engine, PRICELESS.

 

Welcome Havoc. ALways nice to see the older bikes in such nice shape. Look after it and it will look after you.
