Member Contributer Grum Posted August 8, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted August 8, 2020 Welcome natedawg. Always liked the B/W 6gen, bet it sounds awesome with the Delkevics (guessing they are)you've fitted. Better post some nice pics of that great looking bike. Cheers from down south.

Some nice custom work on your bike, looks like a staintune setup you have there? How's it sound? Staintunes are great. Luckily they were already on the bike when I purchased it 6 years ago as they make a hell of a dent in your wallet!!! Fantastic quality and sound though. The only issue I have at the moment is a rattle in the exhaust on acceleration. From initial investigation I think the cat may be loose in the collector as I have traced the source to there whilst stationary and blipping the throttle. I have a spare exhaust so I might just go and get that ceramic coated and replace it. Apparently removing the cat doesn’t give any increase in BHP so I have only put in O2 eliminators and didn’t remove it. Are you near the Bra?

natedawg Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 Gday BOOZZIE, Cheers mate, happy to be here! Yeh can't be much fun down there, hopefully they get it sorted. The other bike is my brothers Yamaha fz6 (detuned model for learners). I'm trying to get more pics up, can you advise the best way at all? All the best mate 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's down South? Nothin special about the wheels on my bike. Standard issue for a 2014 8gen. "Down South" = Sunbury Vic. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Marooncobra Posted August 25, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted August 25, 2020 Dutchy, I haven’t heard cloggyland for ages. I served in Germany with the Brit Army for 10 years and loved going into Roermond for shopping as the Germans used to close their shops from 1200 Saturday until Monday morning. Great food and the Dutch seem to have the same sense of humour as the Brits!!😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Congrats on your VFR and welcome to VFRD! Most people who ride VFRs really love their bikes, so you're not alone in that. 🙂 Enjoy your rides and be safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
