Ohh.. I'm always loud going down the village though.. Even on my current bike you can hear me one end to the other

It's only loud if they can hear it in the next village

Welcome to the v2 thumper ownership club :-)

Congratulations on your new bike mate.

Well done, finally. Black belly pan will finish it off nicely. You must be well chuffed. Louder the cans the better. The neighbours/village wont complain about it after a while as they will be deaf.

Thanks lloydie Suppose since you're local I'm gonna be complaining a lot now and you're gonna be able to hear me from Coventry

Chuffed doesn't came close! and yeah, getting a moriwaki somewhen. Probably not until shortly before I ride it though to be honest, dunno if I can really afford it right now :S And I definitlely can't afford new cans. Suppose I can have a fiddle inside the silencers and see what can be done

Bafflectomy!

Urmm.. Yes. That thing

Glad to see you got it home ok, all the best with it. Make sure you get the ohlins set for your weight and style then post some pics of you going round the outside of dad and bro.
Keep it shiny side up ! Lanny.

Thats a "peachy" looking VTR. would look great with black cans on!!! thats a hint to view my cans. Happy riding but take it easy to start.

Dont mean to be pedantic ( or however its spelt ) but your exhausts look like theyre mounted incorrectly mate. Think you should move them to the inside/back of the hanger/footrest. They taper in as standard. Up to you though.

Nice looking bike...keep it that way !!

Well spotted Lee, . I agree they are fitted to the wrong side of the pillion brackets

That is rather interesting I'll see how much work it is to do when the bike is next removed from the back of the shed.. it's gonna be a pain to get out Thanks for pointing that out though, never would have realised they were meant to be the opposite

When mounted correctly the bike has a nice slim rear end.....unlike me !! It's a ten min job mate, just undo the mounting bolts at the hangers and they should have enough play just to take them under and back up the other side. If not, you'll need to losen the silencers at the clamps, but no real drama.

I'll try and do that tomorrow then, we were struggling fitting the three other bikes in our shed cause the reflector below the number plate on my brothers VFR800 VTECH kept tapping against the exhausts. I was a bit confused, thanks a lot

Getting mine in Matt black to. Looks smart that
