True-it was early Saturday morning or I wouldn't be riding that fast-not many folks out on the roads. Reactions are about par for a 64 yo I guess.

A short video of part of my Saturday ride around the Leipers Fork area. https://youtu.be/V7KAjCDe9zA

My '98 has always been that way-it seems to be getting worse. May be time to flush the clutch fluid and replace the clutch (for me). I have over 50,000 miles on it and ride every weekend so not due to lack of use.

No shade intended-just trying to get some headers sold😉

Perhaps upload the Dyno charts as incentive-doubt a Delkevic or BW would yield such HP/torque gains.

No rust. More HP.

Thank you for the many years you kept this valuable site active and engaging. I will miss it tremendously, as I rely on the vast knowledge and experience found here to keep my '98 running and looking good. I want to thank every member here who has given me advice and shared their knowledge. I guess we could all migrate over to the "other VFR site". I'm a member there but never visit anymore......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

as I stated I have the map for the 5th gen on a PC III USB.

Didn't know there was a map created for the 8th gen. Which PC do you use?

Absolutely-using the map done at Attack Performance the increase in thrust was significant especially at higher rpms.

not exactly header porn but here is my '98. These were of the 1st run and the fit wasn't exact as the bottom pipes protrude under the fairing but who looks under there? 😉

Do you still want them?

Sure. PM me your address and I'll mail them to you.

If you weren't in the UK I would mail you the 3 I have left over from my installing my set. If someone here in the US needs 3 of the gaskets from Delkevic let me know.

First ride of 2023 and it was wondrous-clear blue skies, minimal traffic, minimal gravel on the roads, but many trees down from the severe storms of Friday. Had to ride over electric lines a few times. This is a curvy ride about 20 minutes outside Nashville and it's one of my favorite roads anywhere. It was going well until I got behind Grandma in the white SUV. Unfortunately I couldn't safely pass her and missed the mini corkscrew, which is a steep downhill while curving L then R as it ascends another hill-best set of curves on the ride but there's another day. I am amazed at this 25 year old motorcycle and how closely it performs (in some ways better) than when new. GOPR1517.MP4

My '98 has the OG clutch and has appx 40,000 mi and appears fine.

I can confirm using the Attack map that was done w/ a PCIII USB results in much more pronounced thrust once past 7,000 RPM.

Same here. Just a little golden hue. Did you have yours passivated?

They are the real deal and if they ever run another batch you should consider buying a set.
