    Once it's emulsified it's only about 180psi.

    Mono rear shocks get about 150psi of nitrogen.

    cut a section of ally tube ,put a gradual bend in it left it about 300 mm long and incorporated it into the spark arrestor end of the fmf and gave a huge difference to the sound ,still nice but has taken away the scary noise sound that makes cows roll off down hillstook about 20 minutesdont need ear plugs anymore.............well as much

    Thats a mighty fine rack you've got yourself there. Very nice work on the fabrication. I've bodged up a couple of racks in my time but nothing as pretty as that. You should spin out a few more and sell them.

    cycle treads who i ordered the part through have gone strangely silent over the last week...sent them 2 emails with no reply...funny that! I did try making one, wasn't that impressed but looks like I might have to have another go.

    Heading down to Junkmajoe's turf over the weekend and didn't want the locals think Thor the god of thunder had arrived to smite them...oh well i did try

    Thats the sole reason I took my FMF's off the 950, the volume was ridiculous. I felt embaressed riding throught town and I couldn't even pop down to the local shops without earplugs.

    dunno to be honest...gut feeling is idle? at present its not to bad at idle but once you give her the berries she starts to crack a bit of a note I know cows and sheep think its a bit loud as well.

    My little SuperTrapp is loud but only measures 92dB at 1500rpm.
    The GSXR600 pipe is 85dB at 1500rpm.
