What have you tinkered with today?
I've now installed some customised stock cans. These have had their guts removed and sound much better for it.

😁 it's not too loud. Just a much better tone. It sounded like an egg whisk before.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
if it were not for the SV exhaust being the size and weight of a bazooka i would have left it on as i dont really like loud exhausts as it gets a bit much after 100 or so miles even with ear plugs. your cored cans sound not too bad though.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
I had a standard can on my curvy SV and that sounded poor, no hint of that distinctive vtwin bellow. My pointy came with a Scorpion and that sounded fab, not loud but had that nice deep burble. When I got the VFR my wife laughed when she heard it and had been taking the Micky ever since. The gutted cans sound remind me of a Subaru, not loud but distinctive.

No tinkering today. Just a case of enjoying the new head bearings and the ability to steer!

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
I did the 'freeing up the disc bobbins' trick this morning, so I'm looking forward to marginally better braking on my next ride ....

Helps keep the floating discs floating. Mine's an 06 model that's only done 9K miles but I thought I'd do it, as it's probably never been done before. |
