Who owns a CB1000R?

**Chooky** · 1st April 2011, 18:04

Yer... got a white one...HPC coating on the headers..Givi hugger and screen..Two Bros carbon can... and a few other things.
Still wondering what to do with the cat, its a big ugly thing once the original muffler has gone.....Some of the poms HPC coat them matt black.
Could take it off and put in a link pipe but it might be too loud for a wof...
What have you'se fellas done about the cat..?

Anyway, havn't had it out for a while... too busy thrashing Pussy's old FU round the sky..

It's got more hours than you... just don't interfere with it too much, and it will do the job for you...

I recently brought one in December, for $15k was a whole lot of bike for little money especially brand new.

Really impressed with it (not a fan of sports bike riding position) have done just over 9k on it since i purchased, plenty of torque where necessary, diffuser is not the greatest after about 130k though.

Have a Scottoiler, Two Bros Can(still waiting on right can to arrive), Hugger, Rad Guard and Ventura Head light guard. Just ordered a de-cat pipe from England to replace the underneath cat which is fucking huge and ugly once orginal exhaust has been removed. Hoping i can go with out the Power commander but will bite the bullet if i have to and buy one.

Hey Grant... who are you getting the decat pipe from.?
I'm probably going to go the same way, but wondering how much noise it'll make with the 2 Bro and the cat removed.

Hey chooky.

I just brought this one (link below), checked with them to make sure it was a direct replacement and would fit the standard exhaust to it and worked out to around $320 with shipping.

Will put it on and see how it goes, before buying a pc5 as I don't want to spend the money straight away if I can help it. Also if it is to loud, I will get one of those inserts for the can which does greatly reduce the noise from them. Had one of my previous bike which also had a two bros can on it and worked a treat for that.

You guys think you've got it bad! I have the 2010 Hornet-x 600 and the cat on that thing looks like it's ready to launch a freaking torpedo!

I do rate the Predator also, but after riding both I went for the Hornet - suited my situation better and I like the extra tank size. But having ridden gijoe's Predator extensively I can safely say I would be content with one of them too. His Two Bros exhaust sounds wild as well, but even without a db killer insert it is mild on idle - best of both worlds.

One thing the Predator has over the Hornet-x is online community, and tight nit ones. The majority of the good ones for the Hornet are German or Italian

You lucky sods.

Hey,

Picked my bike up last night. Just the standard map running on the PC5 but even so it feels a lot smoother. Although fuel consumption might be up a bit but will monitor that over the next week or so.

C.Scott in Wanganui made the exhaust and link pipe, he's made a couple for the CB1000R. He makes them to order but I think he prefers to have the bike on hand to make sure he gets all the angles right. I can provide his contact details - send me a pm. Link pipe and headers done at Competition Coating Services in Taupo.

Took this video today, cheers.
