Who owns a CB1000R?

[Chooky]

Yer I dont think thats a problem....as long as you've got some slack..
Im sure there's some chain experts here that'll soon tell you.....

Just for your guys information, I put in the p1 insert I had from my last two brothers exhaust and it does quiet the exhaust down but still not sufficient to pass a warrant. I found it was great for cruising at a hundy on my way to and from Auckland.

For a warrant will definitely need to invest in either the p1x or talking to the distributor for 2bros here there is a new insert p1x2 (just been released) which will possibly restrict horsepower slightly but reduce noise level hugely. Could be a great for warrant times :-)

Never noticed anything with my chain hitting anything at all, but I also don't have the standard chain guard on my bike anymore.

Yer... with the decat pipe and the 2 Bros, it sounds like a GP bike, so I've put the original muffler back on.....

Anyone want to buy a cheap 2 Bros carbon......

How much ya want for the pipe bro?

[Chooky]

Ha... I paid $800 for it so if I get a dollar back I'll be happy...

But really, it sounds like a GP bike, ya just cant shut it up...
Next track day at hampton I'll put it back on, but there's no way I want to ride it on the road like that.
With the decat pipe and original muffler it sounds cool... for me anyway..

Heh fair enough, I will let ya know once I get the P1X insert, I believe that will quieten it down sufficiently for warrant purposes.

But if you do decide to part with the pipe let me know :-)

Chooky, how much louder is the stock pipe with a decat on it? I have a CB600 and really like the look of the stock pipe but would like a bit more noise. Not sure if I should get a new pipe or decat it. Decat is more appealing because of the significant weight loss and I get to keep the stock pipe, but if there isn't much of a difference in sound (not so much louder, just lower tone) I'll probably go with a pipe.

Decat + pipe is just too loud for me, even with a db killer insert.

Pipe with cat on the Predator just looks stupid though maybe not so bad on the cb600?

Well, I'll sheepishly admit I chose the cb600 over the Predator for many reasons, one of them was looks.
But the cat is almost as bad, it looks like a torpedo but moreover it is actually quite dodgy if I'm parking on tall grass (seems to happen a lot for some reason) or anything that can reach the heat. Often I've come back with bits of grass smoking off on the cat :/

Looks was not my main reason for purchase of my predator although since I have modified it to my own liking it has grown on me a lot.

The ride was big factor for me, I hopped off an ER-6n (also not the prettiest of bikes) on to it and it was like its bigger brother with identical handling and more power which was exactly what I was after, not to mention that at $15k a whole lot of bike for minimal outlay.
