Primo Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Quick question, does replacing the silencer with a Staintune high mount on a 2000 VFR require a new muffler gasket from Honda??? Thanks, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer sa1713 Posted November 17, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted November 17, 2010 It should not. The Staintune will slip nicely over the header's outlet and clamp down on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer flavadave Posted November 17, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted November 17, 2010 I replace my gasket just because... Do you need to? If it leaks you will be kicking yourself later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it leaks you will be kicking yourself later. I don't recall a gasket, but I do use a little high-temp rtv silicone. It not only helps reduce the possibility of a leak, but it lubes the connection to help the pipe slide on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I don't have a pic of the install, but here's a somewhat older pic of my bike with the Staintune high mount (and yes, the spud is in) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primo Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 I don't have a pic of the install, but here's a somewhat older pic of my bike with the Staintune high mount (and yes, the spud is in) :) Just curious, what rear mount and box is that on your 2000 and has it worked out for you? I am looking for just a top box and I have the high Staintune on my 2000 as well. Not going to use it a bunch and was thinking JC Whitney box for the occassional trip.

Guest Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Well, the box is a Givi V46 with the taillight and backrest options, but I honestly can't remember what the rack is. I'm positive it's a Givi rack, but I don't think they make it anymore. In fact, it was pretty hard for me to find it when I did. I'm actually still on the lookout for a rack that will do the following: 1. Mount the two side cases 2. Mount the trunk box 3. Work with a high mount exhaust 4. Work with drilled out "Franken-bolt" holes (this is the real kicker)... maybe I should have never drilled them. :P If anybody ever finds a rack that can do that, PLEASE let me know! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
