Remember to keep the throttle pinned from the hairpin right through till you brake for turn 2.

Pussies.

Ahh, its a shame circumstances aren't different. I'd be quite keen to prove that theory.

Not to shure whether i am in the right thread here.
I have just bought a reasonably tidy RVF400 and am looking for a nice sounding Aftermarket Muffler, any one got any ideas and what sort of prices am i looking at. I want to keep the original pipe as is as its pretty mint.
Also i will be looking for a nice Tinted screen as well.
Cheers

there's usually someone on trademe selling cheap ones for upwards of $200

You could give Virgin Mufflers a call and get one made ($400ish)

whatever you do, get it tuned afterwards; going to a straight through will require a re-jet and balance and for that you'll want a mechanic who's seen a vfr before

I can do it on a 55yr old 180 odd kg Norton Domi. KB warriors should be able to do it with their eyes closed.

Yes thats right i did, and am very pleased with it, very original never been droped everything good about it. Has come up mint, with a good clean up.
Tyres were 10 years old, so have got a new set for it, wheels are off and are in the Powdercoaters, so will look chick when finnished. So will be looking for a bit more bits to bling it up a bit.

How much for powder coating the wheels? From what i understand powder coating is pretty cheap.

Its the only way to go, i get them finely sand blasted for $50 then Powder coated for $75 a pair, that was what the last set cost me for a CBR 250RR.

Nice, so jealous...was very tempted but 1) its in welly and 2) haven't had the vfr long and 3) it is quite a lot of money to spend on a 20 year bike...even if they are amazing :-D

I've had stuff for work powder coated and returned next day. Find a local company, swing past and have a chat, be prepared to make it worth their while for helping you out.

A week is probably more normal.
