Re: Quill vs Blueflame

That's good to know. So Blueflame are the DFS (Sofa World) of exhausts. :lol:

If I had a choice of any exhaust on my bike I would be either an Acrapovic or a Devil.

Too pricy though!

Mind you sa...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Went for a ride first thing this morning, went down the cafe and had breakfast, came home. Decided to do something with the bike........ Stripped the fairing off (for the first time!) unbolted clocks etc and removed the front fairing bracket. Gave it a quick wire brush to remove surface rust and spr...

Re: Best Sounding Exhaust?

That's what I have been led to believe. I'm sure others on here can confirm whether it's the labels that differentiates when the quality dropped, but I think that's right. Yes that's true for blueflames the earlier models was a lot better than the stuff they have turned out the last few years, lot o...

Re: Dirty air filter

So they are just bit's of foam then like the original Honda ones Except K&N's version. When reading the K&N instructions it led me to believe they are blanking caps, meaning they are no longer needed with the K&N. Am I missing something here! or are those instructions just badly written?...

Re: Best Sounding Exhaust?

No worries your welcome dude. :thumbup: Still considering them but am afraid the final price will be close to what they cost new. I was thinking the same thing as Bluflame are offering 20% discount at the moment. Newer ones are not as well made as the older ones though! https://www.blueflameperforma...

Re: Best Sounding Exhaust?

oooh yeh I like the sound of them. :thumbup: Not heard of thunder pipes before. Are they road legal with removable baffles? I wonder if they are cheap to buy and where they can be bought from, and if they do a stainless (cheaper) version. After all us VTR'rs are not just buying an exhaust we buying ...

I'm not bothering and have given up with that one! No baffles does not bother me but being marked not for Road Use does. I would have ...
