Badger1 Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 That looks awesome. Love seeing the rear wheel exposed. I ride with the sidecases attached AND the 45 liter trunk, aesthetics is not happening :). My wife absolutely loves riding on the back. Which brings me back to the search for a full exhaust system. A few more ponies is appreciated, but I don't need to alert the authorities we're having a spirited ride. FWIW I owned a bone stock 2011 Haybusa before this. Plenty of power for two up riding, but A LOT of smacks on the helmet to slow down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often to places where gas is unavailable. No way could I take that kind of hit to mileage. Glad you like it, but it is a no go for me. Well.. then.. definitely not something for you. I hope you've done something with the stock seat, because I don't see how anyone can ride that many miles on an 8G stock seat without massive discomfort...

Voided76 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I'm in the 140-50 range in my full header/rapidbike/wideband setup. But I'm commanding 13.0:1 air/fuel. a bit on the rich side, but cushion til I get it dynoed after my clutch install. Pretty sure I could zero the ignition map, command 14.5:1 AFR and go right back to sipping gas. ....but do I want to? ✌️ YMMV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Mohawk Posted November 13, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted November 13, 2020 13:1 won't net you any extra go, I run mine at 14.2:1 now, works a treat & gets good mileage to boot 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer sfdownhill Posted December 12, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted December 12, 2020 LAST CHANCE FOR HEADERS Just putting out the final announcement that the latest production run of headers has started. It consists of both types of headers: 5/6 gen for side radiators, and 8 gen for front radiator. If anyone has been thinking about a set of these pipes, sitting on the fence, waiting for a sign, etc, then this might be the time to order a set. The fabricator's minimum order is 15 units, and this last order took us almost a year to gather, so we don't know when we'll be able to assemble the necessary 15 orders again. Could be quite a while.

I believe Scotland is within range - we've sent them to England, Norway, Netherlands, France, Australia, Greece, New Zealand, and perhaps a couple other countries I can't recall without checking the records. Total is $830 USD plus approximately $120 USD for shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer sfdownhill Posted December 18, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted December 18, 2020 Yikes - glad to see that is designated as ‘initial run’. I don’t think I’ve ever seen as dramatic a VTECH dip as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd need to travel at a minimum of 91.7mph! Allowing for refuel, food and pee stops, hardly possible, and one hell of a trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve ridden from just outside SanSebastien in Spain to Stranraer in SW Scotland via Calais in a day 1200 odd miles. Just takes a bit of dedication. 😁😁 sore arse by the time back home tho.

Note: removing 8 gen passenger footpegs requires significant disassembly of the motorcycle’s hindquarters. Being that it's a Honda, it wouldn't surprise me if the shop manual procedure for removing the passenger footpegs begins with "drain the coolant . . .
