Nice work. Sorry, dont have the tech for that, but it sounds pretty nice. Might be a little soft for some tastes but it suits me fine. I haven't actually ridden it yet because I still need to mount the preload adjuster. The Staintune I had on there was a little bit louder, especially w the baffle out.

jhenley17 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Man, that looks fantastic, even better than the Staintune high mount made for this bike.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlfAwre Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Thanks. It was expensive, but damn it looks and sounds awesome! I'm so happy it fit-it was a huge gamble. If it didn't work I'd have been seriously SOL:) When I factor in that it's very nicely made in titanium, and comes with a nicely machined passenger foot peg to replace the stock one it kind of evens out the cost factor-for me anyway. By the way, I have the Staintune high mount for sale:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandyRedRC46 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Awesome job! Hats off to you, this is by far the best looking 8th gen I have seen so far. Now, time to see if the 5th/6th gen catless headers fit :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01ragtop Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 So if the 5th gen exhaust fits, couldn't a Delkevic high mount be installed with minimal fabrication? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a wonder I didn't crack some plastic or have a leftover pile of mystery clips and fasteners. Love the bike but working on it is a pain. Funny, when I was younger I didn't mind, now I just want to ride it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01ragtop Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 This doesn't compete with SlfAware, but I mounted the Pipe Werx GP3 for an 98-02 VFR on my 2014 VFR. The only thing I had to source separately was the clamp that connects the link pipe to the Cat. Everything else was a perfect fit. Pics and a sound clip.

jhenley17 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I wish I had known that was an option. There aren't many cans for the 8th gen that I like. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01ragtop Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Yeah, I know. Just haven't gotten around to it. When I get free time, I want to ride so it hasn't been a priority for me. I notice my license plate frame was broken too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just giving you a hard time:)..I'm the same way-limited free time and I'd way rather ride than wrench..guess that's why I'm overdue for an oil and tire change and still have all the warning label stickers on there..

Partly because most of the aftermarket cans in this thread are illegal in CA and partly because those cans are slowly making you deaf. But removal of those reflectors is yet another thing that can earn you a ticket in most states, including CA. No shortage of CA residents in online forums whinging about the tickets they've been getting, either. Do as you wish but be aware that while the cans by themselves currently are not primary cause for a stop in CA, the lack of reflectors or at the very least a half-hearted substitute for the factory's DOT-mandated bits are cause for a stop and may result in subsequent administrative pocket-picking for that and whatever else the cops can find at the time.

Member Contributer JZH Posted September 21, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted September 21, 2016 In the UK the only legally required reflector is the red rear one. I haven't heard of anyone in CA getting a ticket for removing the side reflectors, but then I haven't lived there for 20 years. However, my one CA-based bike doesn't have them, either. I'd be curious to learn which C.V.C. Section these California riders you speak of have been prosecuted under. Is it a "fix-it" ticket, or something more serious?

I took reflectors off. They dont do much of anything good. If you wanna be seen put on more side marker lights. I have the PIPEWERX can of the same style and love it. I have the high mount. I didnt buy it, but a friend found it. I think it Delkevic. Pipewerx is nice. The finish can scour easily but I think they all do from the mounts rubbing them.

SithLord Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I emailed Vance and Hines the other day to see if they could make something like this, sort of an upside down IXIL pipe that others have commented they like. Unfortunately no, at this stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Well I put an Akrapovic slip onto my VFR today! Can't say that I have noticed any difference though. Still sounds the same, didn't notice any extra power and if anything, it felt a little bit heavier. Pouring down with rain atm and I've got limited room on my patio so no room for a decent pic with it properly installed. Overall it was easy to install. The only hassle was fitting the centre stand stopper rubber into the Akra's bracket and torqueing the clamp with my 1/2 drive torque wrench adapted down to a T45 was fiddly. Can't wait for the weather to clear up a bit to get out and try it on the road and take better pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm toying with the idea of getting one, so I'll be interested to see if your opinion changes. Otherwise, does anyone have a Remus exhaust? There was one installed on a showroom VFR which sounded good with the baffle out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I'm sure my opinion of it will change once I've ridden it with the exhaust installed instead of strapped to the pillion seat in a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
