Re: The new love of my life!

Re: The new love of my life!
Doesn't your bike have a 'visual' rev counter ? Much quieter in operation than an annoyingly loud 'audible' rev counter....

When you get used to the bike you should be able to do it from feel rather than exhaust note

Re: The new love of my life!
when it hits the limiter you know its time to change gear
only reason i changed the can on my K7 was its fugly long and heavy. if i could get a good looking lightweight whisper quiet aftermarket can i would. |

Re: The new love of my life!
Problem is everyone in the neigbourhood knows how many revs your bike is doing as well - if you really cannot take your eyes off the road and don't like looking down occasionally have you got an audible speedometer as well ? I can hear my stock AL7 exhaust with a helmet and earplugs... it is a pretty nice sound, but does not scare dogs and horses 1/2 a mile away...

Re: The new love of my life!
I agree with Dave, I'm not a fan of looking down to check revs, obvs when I've ridden the bike more I'll get to know the engine better and feel when to change gear.
But I'm not afraid to admit that I am a fan of a legally loud exhaust with a couple of pops and burbles |

Re: The new love of my life!
Nice one Eddybail
I use ImgBB to upload images since photobucket went to payment only to view without the watermarks.

RE. Speedo I monitor time and space via looking at the road to be aware of what speed I'm doing , if I need it reaffirming I always know what gear I'm in an can tell roughly from the revs I'm doing . For a speed trap or camera I'll sneak a quick look at the speedo if I'm not confident.
